I don’t think your fear is uncommon. You aren’t alone. Many can relate, I am sure

Logically if they decide you ask for too much, they just not going to give it to you. The only time it’s a fraud is if you lied. Like if you had a job but lied that you didn’t. Otherwise it’s all good. Police isn’t going to show up at all

Listen, I don’t have paranoia, well at least not in a clinical sense. But I occasionally have irrational fears of owing money, being sued, arrested, deported etc It is absolutely baseless and irrational but I think many people can relate. And I often think I filled forms wrong

My family also experienced huge generational trauma and being afraid that we will be hauled away and arrested or worse is in our blood. It’s not rational in 2024 and living in the US. But I can’t help it.

So I understand your fear. You aren’t alone. Hugs
