| Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why Free? There has to be a catch!
Answer: Simple. Companies want your business and they want you as a future customer to
their product.
Question: It takes forever to fill out so many forms for freebies and contests
Answer: Roboform is an automatic for filler (which
is free as well) that will make everything much easier. This is the ONLY one that I would
recommend.
Question: Why not Canada? (or any other country for that matter)
Answer:
"Because of the perceived deceptive nature of sweepstakes, they are
heavily regulated. The US, Canada, and individual US states all have
laws covering sweepstakes, resulting in special rules depending on
where the entrant lives. Notably, Canada and several European countries
require entrants to solve a mathematical puzzle, making it a contest of skill, in order to overcome requirements that would classify sweepstakes as a form of gambling."
Unfortunately, freebies and samples fall under the same category.
The above paragraph was taken from this page.
Question: I filled out for many freebies and have never gotten anything.
Answer: Make sure you fill out all of them fields correctly. With the phone field, I use
my cell phone number (or you can use your modem line). Or just get yourself a free
telephone number that will forward all of your voice messages to your email address. Trust
me on this one, it is NICE! You can find it here.
Some companies also send out a very limited number of samples (sometimes they dont list
this on their signup page).
And finally, some are just pure fraud. They just want to collect your info so they can
resell it to spammers. This is one reason why I will never post a freebie that is listed
on a free webhost like geocities.
Question: Why the popups on your site?
Answer: There are none. The only advertising I use on the website is google adsense. If you see popups, it was
probably from the site you came from. You can always use popup blocking software as well.
Just go to download.com and do a search for
"popup blocker".
Question: I would like to get your newsletter, but am afraid of getting tons of
spam.
Answer: Get a free email account at either hotmail or
yahoo. You can then use it for all of the freebie
forms you fill out & not have to worry about your REAL email account.
Question: What do you do with my email address?
Answer: Absolutely nothing. It is stored in a database that gets accessed only by ME. I
send the Just Free Stuff newsletter to you and thats it.
Question: Do you allow advertising on your site?
Answer: No.
Question: Why am I not getting my newsletter? I signed up 3 times already!
Answer: We use a "double confirmation" system. Meaning, you sign up for the
newsletter, then you get a confirmation email from our newsletter service, then you must
click on the link in the email in order to be added.
If you are still having problems, just email
me.
Question: How do I change my email address or unsubscribe from your newsletter?
Answer: Every newsletter I send has an "update your profile" and an
"unsubscribe" link on the very bottom. (and YES, they do work the way they are
meant to)
Question: I have a question that you didnt answer here!
Answer: Ok, so email me!
