I was listening to the radio a few days ago, and I heard this about this website: http://freelaptopreward.com

I was just curious if anybody here has tried this, or even heard of it. I know already that almost every ad that you hear for these kind of things are usually fake, but it looks like it could possibly be true. I dunno though.

If you do get the laptop, you may get 1000's of spam emails. They don't have the one I wanted anyway

someday I'll get a second phone line and address listed under a fake name and cash in on all the freebies around the internet... Then I will sell them all and be rich whilst the mailboxes and inboxes keep piling up with advertisements, spam, and who knows what else.

Certainly not. I'm just saying I will have a second address, phone number, and e-mail address, and have all the advertisements and spam addressed to those locations with a fake name. I will sort through the spam and what not to get all my free xboxs and PS3s I've won from smacking elves and penguins around on advertisements.

I would say they sell your information instead of giving it away, but yeah, pretty much a list grabber here.

Whether or not you or anyone else ever gets a laptop out of it remains to be seen, but you can bet your bottom dollar that you'll get plenty of e-mail, junk mail, and evening phone calls from diverse and far away telemarketers.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.
