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!
The claim from their page:
Free Personalized Dog ID Tag for the first 10, 000 requests.
Findings:
- Allegedly a small company giving away 10,000 free dog ID tags plus shipping. That is a lot for small company.
- The company info is on the hacked site. But the offer is not on the main company site nor does the hacked site link to the main site.
- We spoke to the customer service department of DogWatch, and a manager confirmed that the site was hacked and they are not giving away dog tags.
- The hacked site has no Alexa data. The site was created recently for the fake freebie.
Conclusion:
Steer clear, this one will not come.
