got an email from this site saying if I joined I would get sent a free bag of skittles.

filled in the loads of crap you need to do (took ages,,signing up for other services) and then replied to my confirmation email.

They then told me that part of the joining procedure is to recommend 3 friends and them actually joining!

Loads of work,,,for very little.... dont bother!

PS. The latest amazing joining offer is a free ChupaChup lollie!!

    I got a free drum stick lolly pop through the post the other day..........you are right, it's really not worth the hassle and my inbox is bombarded by rubbish mail. Save yourself the hassle and buy the sweets :-[

    I had the same thing. It looks full of promise but as per usual it's too good to be true.

    Every time you thought 'I'm done' , you'd have to do something ELSE to complete your registration and I wasn't going to send out junk to my friends for the sake of a few 2p chews etc >:(

    I have a seperate mail which I use when applying for freebies and only check it occasionally and so far I have had 12 mails in 4 days from these pests!

    Well it takes time to get stuff and lets face it if you dont do the stuff then you dont get the sweets ! They send regular emails with vouchers codes for offers . As for the 3 friends you dont have to do that just email them ~ you have been given a link to that info above by someone ! Also i WILL confim i have had 4 parcals from them in couple of months of joining and refering to a waste of time for just one lolly ! >> my last package was a box of after eights and 2 easter eggs from there easter comp ! But all of my packages have been loaded ~ dont do it ya dont get it .
    Also ya can get free email addresses from loads of places on the internet make another net passport bla bla so ya can send the likes of the sweetcollect email to if you dont want it in your personal email box ;)

    Welcome Peachyxx, you dont work for that site do you?

    Seriously though, good to hear all sides but its better if you register on this site to make the posts seem more legitimate.

    I have received sweets from them ok. They sometimes take quite a while to arrive but they do come eventually.
