Daily Web Deals/ Shop Here Free.com HUGE RIPOFF SITE Don't believe it - "Free $250 Shopping Spree for 2 minute Survey " Don't be shmucked! consumer rip-off fraud tricked and lied to us Online Internet
I got an email titled "Complimentary $250 shopping spree for 2 minute survey". I clicked the link and was taken to a site where everything looked to be perfectly legitimate.

You enter your information and the site says: "Our "Free $250 Shopping Spree" offer has been extended through the month of April. You can now obtain a host of wonderful products and services without having to pay for any items."
Now, tell me if I'm wrong, but it does say "without having to pay for any of the items..." RIGHT??? Wrong.
Once you have gone through the process of filling out their forms, they'll send you a link to the "free shopping". Get this though: EACH AND EVERY PRODUCT HAS A "processing fee" to mail the item you pick out. Also, this is a ridiculous processing fee - for a travel discount certificate - basically a piece of paper - they want 19.95 (!) for "processing".
This is a bullshit site and frankly misleading advertising against the law. They NEVER EVER say anywhere you will be paying for "processing" - quite the contrary they say in their own text "wothout having to pay" and "complimentary" "FREE" and other text suggesting you are signing up for something legitimate.
Another thing they say on the frontpage of the site: "Here's how we do it...
Each month companies rely on us to help them conduct marketing surveys and introduce new products and services to consumers. In exchange for your feedback and as a reward for trying their products and services, (some of which are being offered free through this website) you will be given one voucher for a $250 shopping spree absolutely free."
I would go so far as to say these people don't even deal with any companies at all for "marketing surveys" -- for example, some of their products can be found at most Internet wholesale sites. A silverplated piggy bank that sells for about $2.50 wholesale is said to have a "value' of $29.50 and "processing charges of $8.95. THIS IS AN UTTER RIPOFF.
I can't even imagine who all they sell their form information to. I for one am REALLY sorry I fell for it.
