most of the time it's a scam; however, if you are so inclined, you could research the company that is giving out the offer and see if it's good or bad even if you simply type in your email address, your email will immediately become a spam target for random advertisers that will try to sell or give your more junk
It's all a scam. Everytime you click links like that, they make money. It's best to completely avoid any website like that, and avoid all popups.
those are all fake. they're scams to get your account passwords and such. never believe them EVER. just like giving aways wii's are PS2s. theyre all fake. nobody in their right minds would give these things away just because you "clicked here" because a million other people prolly clicked on it too.
I think they are for real--if you want to spend about 100 hrs working for it. You have to go thru a million questions about your likes/dislikes & then sign up for products you like.It could end up costing you a lot of money,, too. You usually have to do some trial offer and if you don't cancel on time, you get charged, which could add up to a lot of money. You need a book to keep up with all the dates and such. Then you have to fulfill requirements in 3 or 4 parts, or sections that you have to fulfill. It's a lot of work, & in my opinion, is NOT worth it. When I first started answering those surveys, I tried them. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, IT IS.
if they are unsolicited they are scams. there are a few that give out money or gift cards but they are ad-model companies, meaning they run ads on the side and generate reveue while you play, you play for points and prizes, the pop up sites get money from getting your email and offers they require you to do, it usually is worth just buying it yourself then going through all of that, If you want a few examples of ad-model sites, look under Fun money on the site below these are examples of sites that don't spam because they want to stay popular and they make their money other ways
