  • Notice though that it doesn't actually seem to offer any "Real Free Samples"! Haha.
    What exactly will RealFreeSamples.co.uk send me?
    RealFreeSamples.co.uk will send you e-mail invitations to freebies, competitions and paid survey opportunities. There is no obligation to join any of these ot or to complete any particular survey. It is completely up to you. However, the more survey panels you join and the more surveys you complete, the more money you will earn!
    Doing my best to save money and get rid of the clutter in 2009!

    Actually what realFreeSamples really send is spam, more spam and oh yes more spam!!!

    I didn't see it on facebook but I found it and fell for it....I belive this is one of the sites that does not abide by the privacy policy rules and does actually sell on your email address, ever since I signed up I have had a continious flow of spam and no email invitations, free samples, survey oppertunities are anything else of actual use....my advice...steer clear!

  • Thanks for letting us know. Sorry about the :spam: though

    Maybe the url should be blocked from the site as other spam sites are? In fact the site was redirecting to a banned url before.
  • hi,if you download mcafee siteadvisor toolbar for free(there is a free version and one you can buy)http://www.siteadvisor.com/ (i dont know how to make a link so i just copied and pasted the address in the address bar)if you use firefox3.0(i find firefox to be much better than IE as its faster and it also prevents you from going on to known dodgy websites) with this it dramatically reduces the possibilities of all sorts of malicious programs and hackers and :spam: from gaining access to your pc.quote from the website is
    McAfee SiteAdvisor software helps take the guesswork out of Web security.
      McAfee SiteAdvisor technology is a free download that tests Web sites for spyware, spam, viruses and phishing so you can click with confidence.
