      Subject: Thread on your website


      Good Evening,

      I have noticed I am now on a thread on your site regarding checkmybenefits.co.uk


      We do have a team ready for business and we did think the idea up after our funding was cut at various non for profit organisations. Saying that, the site was put up too soon and plugged on a number of websites by someone and it should not have been. The terms and conditions were not ready and the fee too high. We do not have any links with the CAB and do not claim to, and any inference that we do is purely accidental and co-incidental. We apologise if anyone thinks this was the case.


      That being said, we had a poor response to the website being put up anyway. We have not done any business at all as of yet, and as soon as we received negative feedback we took the site down. The site will not be going back up, and we do not intend to pursue this business.


      Apologies to anyone and everyone and I hope you can see the genuine mistake in this.


      Thanks.

      "Although scalar fields are Lorentz scalars, they may transform nontrivially under other symmetries, such as flavour or isospin. For example, the pion is invariant under the restricted Lorentz group, but is an isospin triplet (meaning it transforms like a three component vector under the SU(2) isospin symmetry). Furthermore, it picks up a negative phase under parity inversion, so it transforms nontrivially under the full Lorentz group; such particles are called pseudoscalar rather than scalar. Most mesons are pseudoscalar particles." (finally explained to a captivated Celestine by Professor Brian Cox on Wednesday 27th June 2012 )

        Re: www.checkmybenefits.co.uk Con? Scam?

        Well, I guess that was an incredibly swift and satisfying result.

        Following my complaint to them on their website feedback form at 10.03pm on 7/5/12, their site was down by 11pm.

        I hope the deluge of complaints they received, garnered this successful resolution to a gut wrenching new industry sector. I think everyones reaction was total horror and shock that such an industry could even exist. ATOS and the government have a lot to be guilty of for that fact.

        80% of people fail the DLA ATOS assessments.

        Of those 80% who appeal, 80% are successful and have benefits and back payments reinstated. ATOS get paid. I believe £500 for every candidate they kick off DLA, yet don't have to repay it if that claimant later successfully appeals their original decision. So we have created an ineffective layer of well paid extra bureaucracy which makes the system more complex and daunting. That is the single most significant factor contributing to the establishment of this new claims industry.

        The response received above at least demonstrates that they regret this fiasco.

        Now lets see if we can deal with the other one:

          It seems they have very much and very quickly learned their mistake trying to set up this business and hats off to all on here who contributed to that decision.
          It's just a pity the MOJ and other financial regulators are not as quick on the ball to see potential rips offs and indeed to deal with rip offs that have been going on for years.

            Do we know, or can we find out, if the person who sent this e mail is called Daniel?

            IF he is, he is sending mixed messages on different sites. On AAD a Daniel has very nobly confessed to being the ebb designer and to having taken the site down. There is nothing on there about having a team in place and deciding not to go ahead with the business. To me it reads OTR as though the person who took the site down was an innocent victim and just the website developer caught up inadvertently in something unpleasant.

            I think over something this serious, any potential loose ends should be cleared up. Obviously only my point of view, and yes I'm very suspicious and cynical about these things. :beagle:

              Yes it is Daniel I'm communicating with. I emailed him back last night and he has sent me two responses overnight.
              He sounds pretty shaken by the experience and has absolutely no plans to pursue such a business.

              He has explained that one of his colleagues, copied and pasted mybenefitschecker T&C's for use on their website, hence the typos and the odd mention of mybenefitschecker on the checkmybenefits website.

              I think we can rule Daniel out as a master scammer!

              Hence, I am removing his personal details and address from LB andy have advised him to update his whois swiftly.

                Thank you. was he just the web developer, was he the sole person with the business idea or are there others who still may reappear? Or don't we know?
