Best bet is to go to the people that know for sure.\n\nThe BBB (The Better Business Bureau) www.BBB.org\n\nUse the Federal and State Consumer Protection Commissions.\nThese can be reached through firstgov.gov. This site really does work. Whod a thunk it.

If you are asking this because you have received an email or letter telling you you have won something, then I'm sorry but it's a scam.  Read this:\n\nhttp://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff185647.htm

The companies call it an advertising expense.  To get the 'free' item, you have to give them your name and address and agree to receive all there ads.

I think it's a very good site. I've found a few things on it, even under the free site...there's a lot of people out there that aren't worried about getting money for items and don't want to go through the hassle of having a garage sale....plus others put stuff on because it's free to advertise.\nCheck it out....I give it a thumb up!\nBut the items go fast....so hurry!\n\nSmileyCat : )

I really think its a scam. I had a friend who tried to get a free ipod on one of those things and it never happened. They ask for other people's emails so they are probably trying to get emails to send people junk mail. Or perhaps when you click on those ads, they put spyware on your compter. I think its best to avoid them.

No, sorry, no money is involved. Had that been the case, many people may have gotten rich for their wealthy contributions to the site. However, it is true that you get a thank you from Yahoo! but it is a thank you that you merely imagine to yourself.\n\nOverall, your reward is simply the thought that you may have enlightened someone's day by helping them in their question.

They do have a forum http://www.cashcrate.com/forum/\nand I don't think they would allow freeom to talk among the members if they didn't pay...wouldn't make sense.  I was on there the other night asking some questions, (I'm marytoad on there, pm me if you'd like!;-)  ). and one of the members said they had 80 something referrals & "this site pays".\n\nI just bought $250+ worth of advertising today, I believe in that site so much.  My teenage daughter does the ads & I am mainly into the referral part of it!  \n\nIt's fun.  PM me on there, if you want to - you've got a friend here! Or email: mamabearbea at yahoo dot com.

It might be, but a lot of those kind of schemes, you have to pay the $10 or whatever (usually there are lots of hidden fees, one time registration costs, etc) before you find out what the whole thing is really about.  Anyone with any common sense and wisdom would not subscribe to such a thing without having all the information up front, without paying to find out what it's about.\n\nAnything that charges up front before you even know in detail what is expected, is, to me, a scam, and I haven't seen any internet money making schemes that don't do just that.\n\nIs yours any different?  Doesn't sound like it.\nYou make money on the people who sign up,. and thats about the extent of hte money making going on.

You shouldn't automatically dismiss every one of these sites as a scam.  Many of them, the Gratis company, for example, actually are legitimate programs that WILL send you the item once you complete their "offers."   Of course, afer all is said and done, you'd have been much better off simply going to the store and buying one.\n\nBy know, we should all know how these sites work.  I sure do, and I've got the 1672 items in my bulk mail folder to prove it.  They offer FREE iPods, laptops, TVs, gift cards, money via PayPal, and all sorts of other goodies, and all you have to do to recieve your FREE item is pay for a bunch of trials and product samples.  All of these offers that you must complete require credit cards, which is dumb, because if you can afford to maintain a credit card, you can probably afford to go buy whatever it is that they're giving away.  \n\nOnce you complete the offers that they ask you to participate in, after everything goes through, you recieve the product sample, credit card, free trial, or what-have-you, that you paid for, (keeping in mind that these kinds of things usually take anywhere from a few weeks to a LOT of weeks), AND you recieve credit for it (another few weeks), you must refer, usually, 5-or-so people, ALL of whom must complete an offer or two themselves (another few weeks for each of them), and then THEY must refer someone to complete an offer.\n\nThey'll also revoke any offer, or your whole account, if you don't follow their rules to a "T".  For example, if you post a link on your website instructing readers to sign up for a free trial so that you'll get your credit, but then tell them to cancel the trial before it expires and their cards will be charged, they won't make as much money, and won't take too kindly to your instructions.  You also must refer unique people, who then must refer unique people, meaning, you can't create multiple accounts and pose as your own referrals (which doesn't make sense to me, since they're getting the money anyway).\n\nObviously, very few people are going to put up with all of this nonsense, and these companies will have to send out very few of the products that they offer.  They make all their money from the people who sign up, pay for a few offers and then say "screw the whole thing."\n\nSo, all in all, you CAN get an iPod off of them for a few bucks, but you'll need a credit card, an incredible amount of patience and 10 other people who are actually going to go through with it.

its probably not true...most of those are hoaxes or jokes that will ask for your bank account number and take a bunch of money instead of put some in like they promise...i would ignore it, you wont get any money. sorry! : (

There ARE LEGIT systems out there to get it for free. It has a proper business model, and this DOES NOT include scamming you.  Stop listening to BS about it being a scam and read:\n\nhttp://freebieinfo.blogspot.com/

This offer looks too good to be true. They need your email address, so they will probably send you even more spam. You probably have to download a program, which could be a troyan horse that takes over your computer. The music they offer is probably not made available by the artists for free. When something looks too good, it always isn't.\nCheck music under a Creative Commons license instead.

Basically, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.\n\nStay away from those things. Most of them are all scams or rip offs. They make $50, and send you a measly $5 reward.\n\nIf you *MUST* know...\n\nwww.rewardbull.com\nhttp://www.ezyrewards.com\nfreepay.com

They're not illegal, but they are a scam.\n\nBasically they make you sign up to buy a good or service from one of their sponsors, and get other people to do the same.  Those sponsors pay the company a portion of the money they get from you, and that is how you get the 'free' stuff.
