Is this freebie site safe to use?

17 years ago

I found this site today but wasn't sure if I should even attempt to order anything from it. They are giving away freebies of coffee and other items.

Here is a link that might be useful: Link

To find a site is legit or not, you can do some
methods. You can check whois lookup for a domain name. Visit the site WhoisXY.com here you can
check whois information for domain name. If the information is public and looks
legit,you can note the email id, contact number of the domain name owner or
administrative or technical department or else sale department. It will help
you to contact them if you have any problem after using their services or
buying their products. Then you can visit the site ScamAdviser.com check
whether the site is trusted or not. If the result will "High Trust Rating.
This Site Looks Safe To use." It is good site. Then you can visit Webutation.info here you can
read users or customers reviews, ratings and feed backs about the site and
their services. If they said good, you can start using the site.

What's the old saying? If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is?

If you're feeling lucky, I would make sure your computer's anti-spyware and anti-virus are up to date before you link to that site. And I would not give them my real email address on a bet. They have to be doing something to pay for the coffee they're sending you (and more "somethings" if the coffee is any darn good).

I'd like to tell you to go to a service provider that offers free email addresses, set one up, then reply from there ... but the link won't be available.

Try this.

Forward the message that includes the link from your current address to the new one, then click on the link from there, but just read the website address, click off of the link.

Then type that website address into the address line and go there without linking through the message that you transferred, for it'll almost surely give them your original email address.

Like steve said, and his advice is usually right on the money ...

... if something sounds too good to be true ... it likely is.

And there'll be a price to be paid, eventually.

By someone - quite often you.

Have a lovely week, what's left of it - and New Year ... what's left of it.

P.S. When someone says that someone else's opinion is right ...

... it usually means that they harbour the same prejudices, right?

Still looking. My daughter's inlaws have one of a forest scene where a deer or rabbit or something appears then disappears. This is honestly, more to my liking - just not a big H.Potter fan, I know that's heresy to some, but I'll pass it along to my daughter who is - it does sound cute. She'll ask but the inlaws probably don't know who put the aforementioned wildlife screen saver on their computer as they're not very computer savy, she said.

It is now computer lingo for WeB log. Many people use them as a daily (or so journal), or a place to create a little kind of website. I wanted a place to save my freebie sites online where I could access them from any computer, and the list was waaaay to long to just keep in my Favorites listing. Blogspot.com offers them free. They are unbelievable easy to set up. Marti in Mexico

I'll make it easy: Forget about this web site. There is no free lunch. It's one of those sites where the stuff is "free" after you pay them for several overpriced other items. (If you look at the fine print, they refer vaguely to you having to complete several "fulfillment offers" or similar gobbledygook).

Consider this... Why would someone give you free stuff? Where would the money come from to keep doing this? This isn't some wonderful charity dedicated to giving freebies to folks, and expecting nothing in return. It's just another way of marketing crap to you. Did you find out about this site because you got an email from them? I get offers like this every day, and they immediately go into my junk mail folder (if they're not already there).

I'm not trying to chastise you. I just want to keep you away from these human vultures.

I knew it was too good to be true. I guess I was just hoping that someone had tried it and thought it was legit and great. I've already deleted the e-mail I'd received.

Use your surfing address. I have seen other sights like that, but I wouldn't use them.
