    My God, that sounds really dodgy!!!
    Nobody in their right mind is going to send a birth certificate to them. It has got to be a scam.
    No it's not - they're a normal company and they send a lovely hat.

    Did you send a copy of your child's birth certificate, or were you lucky enough to just send a photograph of your child (as any photo off the internet would do so one wouldn't have to send a photo of their own child).

    I wrote back to the company and explained that I would not be able to provide them with a copy of my child's birth certificate for legal/safety reasons, but they have not replied.

    It's a nice idea to give away a hat to a newborn, perhaps they would have more success by advertising in the Bounty newborn packs that the hospitals give away.

    its not dodgy! they changed it from photo to birth certificate after a member on here complained that sending a photo was dodgy. why? what are they going to do with it? and now you're all complaining that its dodgy to send a birth certificate and would rather send a photo! :rolleyes:
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire
