    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 hope you phoned the police and told them you had been threatened by him and made a formal complaint for them to follow up.

    just noticed you PM, this still going ahead? I was screwed over by CarlKnight (or Carl Buckingham as he used to be known) a few years ago when he owned Telecama ltd. A telecoms provider. Walked away with a few hundred quid. (a bit more than a few sweets) and Im told this was the same with everyone who used the site!

    I joined CandyRewards after reading this thread, and i have to say they are just as bad as sweet collect :mad:

    after a few of the staff left in december candyrewards have gone the same way,

    i ordered back in jan and was assured i would get them no later than feb, it is now may and after emailing adrian he never replies and now the website is down for maintenance.

    Long maintenace of over a month. Dont sign up its a waste of time you will never get a package from these.
  • Is anyone on here still using Sweet Collect. I became first in the queue to have my sweets sent to me back in April and although in my account they are showing as "picked" I still havent received them and there's no dispatch date showing as yet. I have bombarded SC with emails and only had one reply ages back saying they were putting me on the list as priority. I think this was about 6 weeks ago now.It's not that I particularly want the sweets but more that I took the time to do the clicks, earning them money, and then not getting my sweets or even a reply from them.Should I just give up now? If anyone has recently received sweets, please let me know before I give up hope!I know this may all sound petty but its the fact that SC get away with doing this to people who genuinely think they're going to get something out of it.Thanks.Julie
  • Do I take it that no-one else is still going on Sweet Collect then?

    Damn it. I signed up with them a few days ago and spent a while making sure I'd gotten the minimum of 25 sweets. I guess I'm going to have to wait for months till I see anything. :(
