FAKE ALERT! Free Puff Candy Sample
Before you head over to claim this alleged Free Puff Candy, be sure to check out our research. After all, we are the home of the Gimmie’s Big List of Fake Freebies to Avoid. We research all samples before we share to keep you safe online. You may not realize it, but scammers and spammers are notorious for posting fake offers. There are lots of reasons why people post fake freebies, but usually it is about money. They build up a website or Facebook fanpage and then sell it for profit. Or, they take your info submitted in their alleged freebie form, and sell it to Spammers. Some even deposit malicious code when you visit their website!
Findings:
- Form submits before any info is added (you can click submit without entering your name, etc.)
- Spam pop-up after submit, takes you to a Hershey’s “offer” that they hope you’ll fill out so they can make affiliate money when you sign up. This “offer” requires that you complete unrelated offers to get the alleged freebie, which you cannot actually attain without signing your life away 😉
- Site was created a long time ago (2007) and no free samples have ever been received
- No product info
- No product photos, stock photos used
Conclusion:
This is not a legit offer, it is spam.
STEER CLEAR!
To stay safe we highly recommend that you read our Big List of Fakes and learn how to protect yourself on every single freebie you sign up for. Read also: Getting Started with Gimmie.
