Why do many survey sites say you do not have to purchase anything to get free item then tell u must pick some?

I am tired of the web sites that deceive you into purchasing their products and continue to tell you that purchase will not affect you receiving the free gift. As you continue with participation the web site says please choose at least 2 items and so on. These sites are so misleading and I have started sending them to junk mail.

Good for you! These types of things have been around for awhile. Their success depends on people that are easily taken, such as people that are new to the internet. It seems nowadays you always have to be on the lookout for scams or someone on the internet trying to make a quick buck.





There is a large community that feels the same way you do and one such community takes strong offense to those companies or individuals that spam your email. They take advantage of many available technologies and combine their efforts to help you identify spam. The only downside is that your email has to be pop3 enabled in order to use it. Yahoo email requires you to pay to get pop3; Hotmail used to be pop3 for free, but now they require $ as well. Gmail is free and pop3 accesable plus they have pretty good spam filtering as is.





The program I am referring to is called Mailwasher and it is free as well, but a the paid version has more options which most people are happy without.

Reply:You need to send almost ALL of them to junk mail. Most of the so-called survey sites are not really survey sites at all, but ad sites that give their advertisers a little something extra, namely your time and whatever marketing research answers they can get from you before you get frustrated and leave empty handed. If you push the button that says "skip this page" every YES dot is filled in, and you are flooded with months of spam. The rules usually are, sign up to try six offers, (two from each "level"), keep track of when you signed up, (if you choose, they make sure to tell you, you can cancel each before the trial period is over), THEN, have a friend from a separate residence ALSO sign up for six offers. The "offers" are varying amounts of financial obligation, usually designated as a silver, gold or platinum-offer levels. Once the ad-distribution house receives confirmation from the business that you've signed up for the free trial AND given them your banking information and permission to start taking funds from your account should you choose to stay or forget to cancel, AND your friend has been pulled into this and has fully complied, then and ONLY then, you will receive amounts varying from approximately $2 to $20 for each "offer" you've accepted in about a month, assuming you have credit for the minimum amount they send at a time. Sometimes, they ask you to do all of this so you can get cheap merchandise as your "reward". PEOPLE!!! The very first thing you should click on in an unfamiliar website is something that will save you hours of frustration--Terms and Conditions!
