don’t believe that. You will be spending more than 500$ to get the gift card

hahaa…..its called phishing……

Basically they offer you somethign – somethign you’re likely to be interested in…keep in mind that you will spend ALL day for usually 3 days before you complete all the requirements to get it….and very rarely do you actually click all the right buttons before something disqualifies you per the terms. Through all of this you divulge information and email addresses about your friends, etc. oops….now we all get tons of spam…bummer

General rule – dont read em – just delete em….there is no such thing as “FREE” on teh net.

“Completing offers” means you have to buy things from other companies in order to qualify. You’ll wind up spending money on things you didn’t necessarily want.

Ignore these kinds of offers.

I get those, too. They’re scams.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

You have to complete the offers as stated in fine print. That is no good because until you complete the offers and wait a long time and complete some more you will find out there is even more. Good Luck

It’s a pyramid scam. You refer people, they refer people and so on (not to mention those inane offers you have to complete)… it’s not worth it, you may never see it even if you do complete it.

All of those e-mails are scams to get you to spend your money on things and then you don’t get the prize.
