How long have you been using winzy? Does it install ads?
Thanks for your time.

Destiny · 03-03-2008

winzy is great... it doesn't install adds.. but you can install the toolbar, it's just like the google toolbar.. no spam no scams... one girl on here won a wii and HappyCappy just won an ipod.. i have won amazon giftcards

This is some great info. I would recommend Roboform also to every one. You fill out your info once and from then on you just click on a button and it fills all the info out at every website! Saves alot of time!

Thanks! saves so much time!

Weeeooojr · 01-10-2009

Thanks. I find these those websites to be quite scammy myself.

strawberry · 03-03-2009

K well you know how you said: "Suspicious websites- If a website has tons of Google ads and does not look legit to you, just skip it. Also, if a website has the words "free" (Example: www.freestressball.com) in it's address name, it is not a real freebie and is a scam. If a website looks badly constructed, has lots of spelling and grammatical errors, bombards you with downloads or pop ups you should ask yourself - "Do I trust this website with my information and are they really going to send me a freebie?" The answer could well be no. If a website has enough money to send out thousands of freebies - why haven't they spent the same amount of money developing a profession looking website? The answer could be that they have no freebies to give out and only want your details."

this website contains the word free in it as well! So how would one know if its a legit site or not? I'm a newbie and just wondering if anyones actually had issues with this site or not and if it is legit.

thanks

HappyCappy · 03-04-2009

Strawberry. The difference is We are a Community of discussing freebies, and where to find them, including contests, etc.

Are we legit? lol, stick around and find out for your self.

Most people have received our free magnet, shoe charms , etc.

Feel free to ask.

Oh just another note to anyone, Before you click on any of the links you should scroll down to read comments left by other freebie lovers. if there is a problem with the freebie like a bad link, fake, something does not work, needs to be fudged, does not work in your location you will know before you take the time to fill out the form and waste your time on it.
Alternatively you will also find out if it is a great freebie too.

And last but not least, please use the "thanks" button. it stops a page from getting flooded with posts that just say.... well.... thanks and the original poster will be happy to see their thanks counter go up!
