FAKE FREEBIE: Free Suavva Cacao Juice Smoothie
Before you head over to claim this alleged FREE organic skin care sample, be sure to check out our research. Last night you may have seen the alleged Free Cacao Juice Smoothie. 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!
Their Claim:
Free 5 OZ. Cacao Juice Original Smoothie while supplies last. Valid only within the contiguous United States. Image pictured is the full size product. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
You should receive your free Suavva Cacao Juice Smoothie within 4-6 weeks.
Note: US only.
Findings:
- Their Facebook page has only 573 likes, with no posts since last April
- Their Website appears to be for a real product, including product info, nutritional info
- This product is sold on Amazon, but is not currently available
- Their freebie form appears to be on a hacked subdomain – a file folder added to their site (“/sample/”). The page is slightly different, laid out just a bit larger than the rest of the website
- You can submit their free sample form without filling out any info (leave it blank and click submit)
- A certain tipoff that this is fake: After submitting the free sample form, you get a Spam popup for an unrelated offer. As a general rule, when you get a Spam popup, the offer is NOT legit.
Conclusion:
This appears to be a legit small company that has been inactive for over a year. Their website seems to have been hacked. Hackers have added a Spam popup after submitting the free sample form, hoping you will fill it out and submit it. Because, when you do they get paid. There is no free sample smoothie available from this company.
