Ok so lets get started!!
This is for all freebie hunters hint and tips..a place to get started.
1. Never use your home/personal email address. Sign up for Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo, any of the free ones.
2. Never use your phone number. Lie. Some of them DO CALL, and you may get hounded if your not careful.
3. Don't be in a hurry. Some freebies take months to get to you. With overwelming demand, it can a lot of time for them to get to your name to send out the parcel.
How to avoid spam
There are alot of sites out there that are spam, You will NEVER recieve an freebie from them. All you will recieve is SPAM. Here are a few tips on how to avoid and recognize these sites.
1. Click on "HOME"......Most sites dont have the request form on their home page like that..( its just one way to check because alot of people will link you directly to the request form page)
2. Click on "CONTACT"....webpage unavailable..(enough said)
3. All the pages you can access from here have alot of "GOOGLE" Ads.
These are just a few of the things to watch out for while freebie hunting...the people that run these sites are trying to get "HITS" on thier sites and are hoping to make money through the google ads..You wont recieve a freebie cause there isnt any and there never was ....all you will probably get is alot of spam..UGH
Another big thing to remember is...if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is!!
Ok Now lets talk about fudging
Fudging is a way to fill out forms that are based for US residents. Please note that this wont work for all US Freebies but there are some that will come even though it looks for US only.
1. You can add your Province and Postal code and Counrty in the address line.
2. In the Zip code you can enter "00000" or "99999"
3. In the drop down menu for State, what I do is select the closest one to my own province. I live in Alberta so I select "AL" ( Alamaba).
Want to fill our request forms faster?
You may want to try roboform..it is easy to use and will save you tons of time. When you go to a request form page it will fill in all the info for you. Remember not to put in your real phone number when setting it up, but if you enter a contest you will have to change that on the form before summiting it.
