    Point you all out to this thread.

    If you didn't complete the offer the Company is not paid ! We don't own that beat the bully site they are one of advertisers.

    If you do complete this we are paid to pay you. Isn't this the world of business ? Like every banner you see on most sites, its advertising & the advertiser choices who to advertise with to get people involved with there site / offer.

    They are not linked. (Depends what you meant though) Just a Company that wanted to be advertised & they advertised with Sweet Collect as well as other sites i'm sure.

    But as you say its free. Your not forced to take up the offer & its how the world goes round.

    I think you will find that most of the bands are about awareness rather then raising money, if people stand up to bullying then hopefully things will change.

    Its like the testicular cancer badges, its more of a reminder to men to check themselves, likewise for the breast cancer badges. Otherwise they wouldnt bother making badges you would just donate and that would be it.
    :)

    These wristband freebies, though possibly supplied with good intentions (though I'm very dubious), are from my recent experience usually worn as fashion statements by individuals and attention-seeking "celebrities" who know sweet FA about the cause its promoting - a bit like many red ribbons wearers of the nineties.

    Put your hands in your pockets and get something genuine and direct from the established charity (e.g.Make Poverty History white wristband; pink breast cancer awareness bands; etc); join in their events and activities, rather than complain about a free wristband not yet being delivered.
