    I don't think it's a 'scam' as such but as always - there's really no such thing as a free lunch!

    I've had a few of these. some small samples but also some full size products. They don't ask for payment and you are not obliged to send to friends although mine are happy when I do :)
  • Anyone know how I can find the gifts to send to people? I find it all a bit confusing.

    I think it's fine, I had a Lancome sample through in the post from one o these, not bad.

    Not a scam, I have had cat food pouches and porridge sachets :) Not huge things, but every little thing to try is good :)
    I just enter and forget...hoping to win something! :)

    I don't think it's a scam. I received a full sized mascara I was invited to claim. Received an e-mail with small, easy survey. Wasn't obliged to but completed the survey anyway.

    I received a miniature bottle of whisky from them this morning.


    I got the link in an email and posted it on the freebies board the other day. No idea if they are all listed on a site somewhere.
