Before you head over to claim this alleged Free Kebroak Fire Starter sample, 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 the website!
Findings:
- The website for the Kebroak Fire Starter sample appears to be fairly new . It currently has no Alexa Ranking data. Normally this raises a slight alarm for us. The parent company,Susshi International, Inc. and the Kebroak product line is legit.
- There’s a spam popup after submit now, a sure sign of a fake freebie.
- The business is perfectly legit. The website was hacked and a sub domain was added. It appears that they have removed the fake free offer page.
- There is no link for the free offer from the home page nor the Facebook page, although their FB hasn’t been active lately. Nobody except other freebie sites advertising this offer on their Facebook fanpage for their own exposure.
Conclusion:
Steer clear! If you can get the form to actually work and get pass the spam to submit, this freebie will never come.
So, 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.
