Can You Get Free Stuff Off the 'Net?

Is it possible? Or is it all just scams?

I mean, I saw this 'free DVD' website. It seems that by creating an entirely new set of e-mail addresses, and by not being particularly bothered by junkmail, you could make a killing.

It's beyond crap. Don't bother.

My sister got 4 George Foreman grills for free on the Internet.

And if the DVDs I order come late, one company refunds my money.

How did she get the grills for free?

She got an e-mail about getting them free if you sign up for something. The thing is there was a disclaimer at the bottom that you don't have to sign up if you're in California.

Wow. I have a George Foreman grill, but the Teflon, or whatever it is, has worn off. Now when I cook, the meat sticks to the metal and tears it up.

The majority of the shit is "ineligible if you are not a US citizen/living in one of the 50 states".

Well fuck you too...

Move to the US. Join the Dark Side. You know you want to.

You can get a ton of posters, t-shirts, mousepads, tupperware, and many other promotional goodies off the 'net. Some of the stuff is leftover from company promotions and special events (ie. Comdex t-shirts) and some stuff is just free for the taking. If you know where to look you can get a bunch of small houseware items for free, all you gotta do is send the company your address so they can mail it to you. Best stuff I ever got for free, a variety pack of condoms and a bottle of Astro-glide.

Condoms and Astro-glide, useful together and apart.

Just sign up anyway. Most of the time they don't bother checking.

Well, they might figure it out when you put down and non-US address.

I've gotten loads of free stuff, including DVDs, magazine subscriptions, free movie rentals, free film, free books...the key is to unsubscribe from the service before they charge you...

I also get free stuff from Amazon and other online bookstores when I order enough, and I get paid to use some of the free stuff.

The best way to make money is to take surveys online...there are companies that will pay you to take them.
