Warning-Facebook Ad for Free Samples - Canadian Freebie Forum ~Canada's top free sample, coupons, & contests forum

cheetah · 04-29-2008

I was on facebook today and saw an ad of Free-Samples. Of course I was curiuos and clicked on it. This ad looks like it is totally Canadian Free Samples. It says just fill your information and they will e-mail you information about free samples and paid surveys. Also says just opt in for the ones you want and reject the ones you don`t want. You can unregister at any time. Just before I took the leap, I read the FAQ section. Good thing I did you must be a resident of Australia to do this and you can unregister from them at anytime but must contact survey companies to get off their lists. I don`t think I will be doing this. Just wanted to warn others before they joined. Here have a look, this is the link. All Free-All Canadan I don`t think so!

missklutz16 · 05-27-2008

i checked it out and the only useful thing i got from it is ipsos isay which sends me some interesting surveys from time to time. i haven't noticed any other spam, but that might be because i used my spam email to fill it out.

Geesh....I dunno why everyone is upset. You all got FREE pop-ups and probably a few FREEBIE viruses too. :S
(Thanks for the heads up cheetah..I woulda clicked it myself if I had ever seen it there).

I tend to see a lot of "free" stuff on F.B., but I'm iffy about them. Thanks for confirming this for me OP.

I've seen this site before. Looks a little fishy, so I skipped it. Now I'll know to avoid it. It also come up on google searches. I once searched 'free samples canada' and that was one of the sponsored links. I hate popups and scams.
