I have written to postpals using their email facility on their website several times and had no reply. There doesn't seem to be any other way of contacting them.

Despite what they say, cmt *never* causes the possibility of blindness or deafness, it seems to me that some of the parents perhaps make things sound worse than they are for sympathy? I am not of course saying things are not bad enough when you have a sick/disabled child but even so.....

I have written to them suggesting that they 'edit' what parents say because quite frankly reading a load of nonsense (including cherubism causing teeth to grow roots first!) does nothing to inspire me to send anything, be it good wishes, gifts or whatever.

I am a moderator on another kind of website and a member posted a request (with her email being postpals@ so presumably she is an official for the site?) asking for donations/gifts from other members which is why I looked into it when I noticed some discrepancies.

I am not saying that postpals as an organisation are crooks/scammers, but they should 'vet' the kids before putting their 'stories' on their websites if they want to maintain any credibility.

And answer emails from enquirers....

Ok, please feel free to lock/delete/whatever this thread, if I dont get any joy from postpals within the next week I will contact watchdog and see if they can look into it for me.

Thank you.

As 'god' himself has locked a previous thread about this site Clemepol, I am going to lock this one too. If people wish to make comment on this to you personally then they are free to do so within the PM facitlity.

I hope this answers everything. I think the best thing would be to not delete this thread in order to inform other people who might receive those fake emails as well......[/quote]
