Blocking EGR Valve outlet - javauk

I have problems with the EGR Valve on my VW Polo; On Ebay they salling a PLATE to cover the outlet were the EGR valve seats on the engine, the seller say is perfectely safe and the emision when you take it for the MOT will pass.
My question please is: will the engine be safe by blocking the outlet? will the car run properly? if any one out there has done this could you give me some advice before I block the Valve
sincerely
