Has anyone ever actually gotten a "free" item from one of these...

Kim C2 · 07-10-2005, 04:35 PM

things where you have to take a survey, then complete one of the following offers??

They offer credit card sign-ups...info on taking courses thru the mail...free samples of diet meds for only shipping cost...magazine subscriptions...Netflix service...BMG music service...or Disney movies, etc..

Then, if you sign up for at least 2 of the above listed offers, you get a free digital camera or some other such item???

I've never done it - but just was curious! Too good to be true, in my opinion, usually is...but I'm dying to know if there is any truth to these free item or gift offer emails!

I never did these because you had to pay for the "offers". I do get tons of email for freee movies, free cameras, free computers.... just TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!

My sister completed one of those and got a really cool flat digi camera - almost the size and width of a credit card. Unfortunately, a baggage handler in Belize is enjoying it now.
