Are the Tories so desperate to kill off those of us the DWP begrudgingly has been forced to concede are ‘Unfit for work’, ‘Unlikely to work in the near future’ & therefore are in the ‘Support Group’ for ESA; by tempting us to sign up to something that could technically put us in breach of our benefit ?
I’m one of the fortunate who successfully fought to be placed in the Support Group, so imagine my amazement when today I received a Direct Message on Twitter from a Conservative Lord -
Direct messages › with Sir Peter Bottomley
11h
recommend http://89.161.247.3/twitter.com.news.php
Curiosity overcoming me I clinked the link to find
Sir Peter was personally recommending I pay to work from home?!
Indignant I decided to take a look at this
‘opportunity’; it seems I’m being invited to pay to participate in a scheme that
actually guarantees me Nothing in return.
By becoming a member I would be agreeing to “For
a limited time only, the cost of this product is $97.00 ( usual price $299.95 )
and every 32 days thereafter you will be billed the member’s only price of $9.95
for the monthly use.” I suppose this seems a small amount to
“basically make $6,000-$8,000 a month online”; and yet once I read the
Earnings Disclaimer I noted “We cannot guarantee your future results and
predict your future success. There are some unknown risks in as with any new
business venture that COULD AFFECT YOUR RESULTS“. What a Surprise!
I suppose to a Conservative Lord and MP $97.00 is
nothing but £60.68 is more than half I receive to keep 2 people, fed, housed,
clothed and alive for a week; and this is with NO guarantee of a return. Further
if I did elect to risk this money, surely I’m deciding I’m ‘Fit’ for work and
therefore am no longer entitled to ESA??
I want to know, Why would a Member of Parliament be
actively promoting a scheme to lose money & Why would a Lord of the Land be
suggesting I put myself at risk of either losing my benefit or committing
benefit fraud?
I thought I’d ask Sir Peter the question above, but
apparently I wasn’t allowed to reply because he doesn’t follow me on Twitter; so
I tweeted “@PBottomleyMP Why are
you sending direct messages to links for bogus employment? http://89.161.247.3/twitter.com.news.php.
Having little faith in getting a reply I
also emailed him- Yesterday I received a Direct Message from you on Twitter…The
link is a self employment working at home opportunity that requires me to pay
$99.00 upfront to be guaranteed Zero return. Why are you promoting such?
I imagine I will receive many excuses and apologies
for what will be called ‘an error’ and I’ll update any replies I do receive but,
for me the real question is Someone physically used Sir Peter’s Twitter account
to send this message and I want to know who is was and why they think sending
bogus employment opportunities to people in severe poverty is a good idea??
