California had a big problem with this, UI theft that cost billions using magnetic cards. I remember people getting 20 cards from EDD. It definitely benefited the private sector.
Suspiciously it was being done be Nigerians. It forced many into job market lowering wages when it took forever to adjudicate their fraud claim. Definitely some collusion going on with corrupt elements in the government. The private sector wants you desperate as fuck taking a job with them, no UI while applying for jobs or nothing. It is a form of slavery and is one of the reason I can't tolerate the U.S. They want them taking this money so that they can suppress wages.
What clued me onto this was Indians using this same pattern with their recruiting scam.
Indian recruiters have taken over the US IT recruiting market, however they are doing little for domestic workers. Indian recruiters primarily parasitize domestic IT work information to substitute Indian workers.

Any company using these recruiters should be banned sales and access to candidates, it would be hard to go after somebody in Mumbai for discrimination. If they want to setup shop in the U.S. with a real office, with personnel that have U.S. citizenship, that is fine with me.
You can play these retarded games, but somebody like me will take off the first opportunity we get. It isn't enough that wages are low enough.
