Revealed: Full toe-curling sales pitch used by top Tory Grant Shapps to convince people he could make them 'filthy, stinking rich' (for a bargain £130)

  • MP posed as business guru Michael Green to offer keys to making cash
  • Posed for pictures with private plane, luxury cars and six-bed mansion
  • Offered his 'friends' a tool kit on how to make a fortune – for $197 a pop

The tactics used by Tory chairman Grant Shapps to convince people to hand over cash so he could get them 'stinking, filthy rich' have been revealed.

Mr Shapps, posing as his business guru alter-ego Michael Green, used online leaflets to boast of his wealth and status in a bid to prove that he knew how to make millions.

Using pictures of himself in his private plane and six-bedroom mansion, the future Tory minister offered his 'friends' the chance to learn how to make their fortune –as long as they handed him $197, worth £130.

Mr Shapps said his wealth was 'hard-core' evidence of that he could help people get rich.

The revelations come just days after Mr Shapps, 46, faced calls to quit after being forced to admit he had continued to offer get-rich-quick advice after becoming a Conservative MP despite vehement denials to the contrary.

The Tory minister had insisted he had not had a second job since being elected MP for Welwyn Hatfield in May 2005, but was later forced to admit he had 'screwed up' by denying the allegations 'over firmly'.

It comes after a recording emerged from 2006, a year after he was elected to Parliament, capturing the MP selling self-help guide Stinking Rich 3 and claiming his products could make listeners a 'ton of cash'.

The full extent of his toe-curling sales pitch was published in the Sunday Mirror today after pictures were published on the website Political Scrapbook. In it he offers punters the chance to buy his toolkit on 'How To Become Stinking RICH Online' for $197 – even though he claimed it was worth $100,000.

The toolkit, he claimed, would make those who bought it '11 to 22 times more successful than the crowd as a result'.
