They cost about £100, Clearblue run free trials of their item, but a lot of women don't qualify for the trial.

i'm sorry, but the name is completely relevant. and if anyone took the time to read the desrciption (and i quote):

"since kidnapping people and forcing them to buy stuff of us is a bit extreme. We have decided that you guys will have to help us by manufacturing new customers."

i'm sorry for those who were genuinely offended, but no amount of excuses will make me believe that anyone who took the time to read this, instead of blindly clicking on a freebie, for a freebie's sake, thought for even one second that this was for real.

AND FRANKLY, i think it's more of an insult to those trying to conceive to suggest that they were taken in by this nonsense.

But boffer have a history of tongue in cheek descriptions of real giveaways, so that argument doesn't hold. The people who have a problem with this aren't the people who are regular boffer users who clicked without looking. It's the people who read the description and chose to register with boffer solely for the purposes of getting this one item.

I have read plenty of boffer items and none of them seemed worth signing up for as the items were not worth the amount of spam registering would generate. This one appeared to be so I'm annoyed that they got my details under false pretenses, and if I was someone who was having trouble conceiving I'd possibly be upset as well.

well, that's a completely different argument, and i have to agree, there is certainly a case for saying that boffer obtained your details disingenuously.

Maybe everyone needs to lighten up and see,that at end of the day was a freebie,and was not like you was paying for it,so is not all bad.
Happy freebie hunting people :j

Had u stayed up to midnight on Bank Holiday Monday, awaiting the promised freebie which had a pre registration requirement and you had ended up being given a free delivery code off items unknown which the following week may/may not have been of any interest to you, would you have. :j

If people can't afford £100 for a chance to have kid then who is going to be paying for the kids if they would have been born?
ermmmm....oh...that would be me then!

same as grabitnow.com only with slightly better offers......most of the offers are pretty lame but they have done a few good ones. they also do freebies about once a week

I prefer grabitnow as their delivery is free (and they don't let their customers write the product descriptions lol). Depends what your interested in, boffer have done a lot of computer type offers etc.

Boffer will be doing freebies about 1 a month i think. The first week of freebies was just cuz they were a new site.

the week before i did actually wait up and try get one of their freebies,and as everyone knows they go quick and nobody is promised one.You have to fill in your details to qualify to enter for the freebie,does not mean you will actually get it.is a gamble like all freebies.The one i was trying to get,had all gone in 30 seconds.:rolleyes:
