some of them are legit, but you have to complete alot of offers, that in the long run, ur paying the equal amount, or even more for the product you can go get in malls.

In most cases, those annoying advertisements and popups you see on every website you go onto are scams. It is a very easy way for internet illiterate people to give out there information and have emails with viruses attached to them sent to their mail box. It also gives the chance for your personal information to be sent to anyone, anywhere to be used for who knows what. I've heard of people who have had their credit accounts wiped out for giving them personal information but whether thats true or not i cant say. You obviously got lucky but i wouldnt recommend doing that to often. If that were true i would have about 100 free iphones, 500 free laptops and cell phones and so on and so forth. Just keep your eyes open for those kinds of things and if it seems to good to be true....it most likely is.

Yeah, you may get something for free, but not without buying or subscribing to something. I always close out of those. I also use a pop up blocker.

When is the last time you got something for free, from someone you don't know, with no strings attached? It doesn't happen. Especially on the internet.

Well if it worked great, but now everyone and their brother has your email addy and will be sending you offers for who knows what. I hope you didn't give out your address or phone number or else you may be getting a ton of junk mail and phone calls. Beware of those 888 numbers. My husband tried to ordered something off of one of these pharmaceutical sites and now they won't stop calling. What happens if you call the number back is it will go overseas and you will be charged the call on your phone. The phone company cannot and will not do anything about it. There are a ton of scams out there. Anyone that says they are giving it away from free there are most usually strings attached and then once they get your name and addy they start sending you spam. Just beware.

Take caution. Other than that, they did give it to you, so I don't see how there's a problem.
