I've been wondering, recently, I've been getting lots of those 'Congrats, your the xxxxxx visitor and you've won something' Ad's. And I've tried clicking on some of those and always the requirements is I have to be a US Citizen.

Just wondering? Does some of those really works? Or is there some sort of scheme or clause to it? Like I have to buy something every few months or they'll take away my prize?

Because so far I've won a AlienWare PC, I've won an apartment, free stay at hotels in Vegas and also a Car before. And always, those small coupon's for books and other small rubbish, like USD 100. And stuff. But never been able to claim any, because I'm not American i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

it's just crap, then they are going to say you're eligible for a drawing. Don't waste your time with that.

There's no such thing as free stuff online. There's always a catch, if I were you I wouldn't even try to claim them. They'd probably end up charging you for it in the end.

So far the only free things I have been able to get are free magazine subscriptions to Stuff, Maxim, FHM, Gamepro, EGM, and XBN. Other then that I got a free mach3 razor but nothing big like a cpu or apartment.

only free offer i got that was legit was Gamepro. I suppose most or all magazine offers are valid but don't trust those "Get a free PS2" or "You've won a Plasma TV...just enter email to claim" Those ads and emails only lead to endless spam emails from all over.

well, none of that pop-up ad crap never works, its all a scam to get your information. however, some websites sometimes have like a raffle type thing and i've heard of people winning some cool stuff like a radeon 9800 once but of course its from a real company and a legit website not from some stupid pop-up @_@;

anything that says its free and requires some kind of sign up are just scams to get your information.

Nope, if it makes you feel better sign up with a fake name. They don't require any credit card info or phone number to bill you anyways. But I still sign up as Aeon instead of Akeem.

Well how the fuck do u win a drawing or competition when you have not entered??? You dont.. You will get nothing..

And its best im telling you.. That shit about Penis & breast enlargement dont work ether so dont fall for that ether (well if you did not get the first thing, then it best to warn you about this one to)..

And that about free porn.. There is no think like free porn if you get spam in your e-mail.. all porn that is free dont have the money to spam the whole world.. And on DC all porn are free anyways ^^

Latest free magazine deal is 2free mths to playboy, I'd use a fake name on it since its not a yr subscription they might keep sending after 2mths.

That stuff is usually crap. Though there is one site which IS legit...freeipods.com

My friend just got his ipod, and mine is being sent out now...should be here within half a month. If you want a real online stuff, do this.

wow guys, if you get something it must be legit!

Look up the concept of a pyramid scheme, douches. Just because .1% of the people get a payoff doesn't mean it isn't a scam.
