I am aware that the practices of these companies seem shady and that the original report was filed 4years ago. However, I feel that I must defend what these companies do. I routinely complete offers for these sites within their restrictions and have been compensated with gifts such as gift cards, checks, free products on many occasions. I must say that you HAVE TO READ THE FINE PRINT. you need to print the Terms and Conditions and privacy policy. You must also print the policies of all the offers you sign up for.
Also, you shouldn't complete more than one program offer at a time. You can send these companies correspondence and ask if another offer company is affiliated with them. Again, I do not work for these companies but have made many a profit doing these offers and would suggest that you follow their terms. I love doing them and if you are going to complete an offer READ, READ, READ, and Print their fine print. I believe that the problem here is lack of understanding in the fine print and hurriedly trying to get the reward. Slow, down and READ and understand. That's the idea. They are a for profit company that makes their money, some of that they give you to in a reward, by advertising for other companies and receiving a commission each time you sign up or purchase something (trial offers, one time purchases). It's genius and I wish I had thought of it first.

Ok, so now I find out plasmatv4free is owned by Market Labs and yourcoolfreestuff is owned by Bullseye Media. They are separate companies and both are equal scams. For the purpose of this dispute, note that Market Labs was previously I-deal direct (look them up on here) and they are now disqualifying people for no reason, working out of a UPS Store in Newark and not delivering people's items.

Apparently this company makes a practice out of soliciting people to sign up for sponsor offers by promising a free gift. They then do not send confirmation emails or redemption links, hardly reply to emails, and don't return phone calls or answer letters. There is practially no way to get a hold of them unless of course they email you to say your account expired and you're SOL. In my case, I fully completed the offers according to their terms on the plasma4free site. Their terms plainly state you will receive credit for an offer once but yet they revoked mine. I was already approved and sent my form in, this is a blantant excuse to try and withhold my TV. Next I will be contacting the Bureau of Consumer Protection and hope to shut down their entire family of scam sites.
