Freebies
Searching the internet for freebies can be fun
and reward you with some totally free stuff. Many
of the sites listed below change their contents
often so become familiar with each and watch for
changes.
Judy's Tips:
 Beware
of requests for credit card information: I
personally run from the sites that request this information. If it's free why is
there a need for my credit card information? Some sites will offer a free widget and tell
you that subsequent widgets will be charged to your account unless you cancel within a
specific time frame. Does this sound familiar? I can just imagine how "easy" the
cancellation process is. My book says "just
not worth it".
Free
does have some strings attached: My sainted
grandfather, John Horne, once told me, "Judy
there is no such thing as a free lunch". For
the most part, that advice has always served me
well. Many sites are hoping to entice you to
become a customer or part of a customer survey.
You may be asked to complete a questioner, sign up
for a free newsletter (a gift that keeps on
giving), get put on mailing lists, etc. Proceed
with caution and leave some time in the day to
read the mailings that may turn up shortly after
your freebies do.
Do
not use your primary e-mail address for freebies. It
will quickly fill with mail that you do not want.
A disposable address will allow you to throw away
what you do not want.
Never volunteer more information than
necessary. Free might not be worth giving away
your private information.
Do
not give your phone number. Type in unlisted
or imagine a number.
Use
the check box, should there be one, to let the
vendor know that you do not wish to be on their
e-mail list. No is not the default setting in
most instances.
