SweetCollect

BeHeard! · 15 September 2006 at 8:16PM

Come on then... tell me how many of you have signed up to SweetCollect, completed offers in hope of being 'rewarded' in sweets? To wait and wait and wait and never recieve anything?

I know i have! :mad:

Had your email inbox spammed by them around 10 times a day?

Yep me too! :mad:

Recieved emails/telephone calls from him threatening to sue you because you have said something that he didnt like? :rolleyes:

Ok maybe not all of you but I know of a fair few that have! :mad:

But i really think that the time has come where we stand up to Carl Knight Ltd/Sweet Collect/Sterling Rock whatever he wants to change the companys name to now to try and con us all in to doing it all over again :rolleyes:

I know for a fact that Carl Knight recieves money for everytime you complete one of the offers through any of his sites he is getting paid for it! Nice little money spinner he is on there isnt it :mad:

How many of us on here stand up for what we believe in? Argue when a company treats us badly? So why is this man getting away with it? Why dont we all get together and try and put a stop to his scamming ways?

I know for a fact he and his company has been reported to BBC watchdog and Trading Standards, the more complaints they recieve the more the complaint will uphold

You can contact BBC Watchdog by going to http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/contact_index.shtml and fill in the online form or you can email them at watchdog@bbc.co.uk

Contact your local Trading Standards and report them to them to! Go to http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/ type in your postcode and it will give you details of your local office.

Lets stand up to this scam artist and see him taken down a peg or two! :T

Whose joining me?

Carl Knight and two of his lapdogs actually came to my house the other day regarding the anti-sweetcollect blog which I wrote. So not only does he threaten via email and phone, he'll also personally pay people a visit regardless of how far he has to travel (I live far far far away from him)

I would say that im shocked but im truly not. It does not suprise me that he will sink to such low bullying tactics to try and intimidate a woman because he doesnt like to hear the truth!
Not only that but every single one of you that has signed up to sweetcollect or any other of his many sites have quite willingly given him your name, your address and your telephone number at the very least! :eek:
Makes you wonder doesnt it? :eek:

i hope you filled him in

He caught me offguard so he got away very lightly. If i'd known he was gonna pay me a little visit i'd have had the camcorder ready so as to catch him in the act of harrassment/intimidation.

Such a shame he didn't give me a bit of notice because there's so much i'd love to say (and do;) ) to him and now i've wasted the perfect opportunity.

I have jkust signed up to get the sweets and then realised, im not doing 10 min survey for a drumstick lolly, i have better things to do with my time.

Sweetcollect emails go straight to junk now, looked dodgy even just from the very little Ive seen of it.

BeHEard, you want to be careful that you dont want to be seen to be making this a PERSONAL issue on this site.

I have heard something very dodgy about sweetcollect on a MSE style grapevine too.

I would say if you believe this man is intimidating or acting in a threatening manner towards you, do phone the police.

when i used sweetcollect i waited a year before i got my sweets:rotfl: what a joke and i was told i would onlu need to wait three days because they had improved there so called service:rolleyes:

Good to see people standing up to the owner and if i would be happy for him to give me a visit any day:D

It's about time too. It's not like the owner is someone to be feared, after all he's not much more than a kid anyway.
