EVERYTHING on Getting Free Samples By Mail

If there is one thing I’m an expert in it’s getting free samples by mail! After all, I’ve been collecting them for OVER a decade. I know all the in’s and out’s. What is a scam and what’s not a scam when it comes to getting free samples by mail and other freebies. It all started as a “poor” college student when I noticed other people online talking about their mailboxes being full of freebies. So, I signed up to be a cookie tester. The company sent me 3 bags of cookies in the mail to eat, and review for free. I was totally hooked! I knew that if getting free cookies was that easy then there must be more! So, my quest for finding all things free ( by mail, in stores, online – basically everywhere ) was born. It wasn’t until 2 years ago that I started this blog in hopes of teaching others that you too can get all sorts of free samples by mail ( FOR REAL ) without being scammed.

This post is going to be an “ all in one “ quick guide to telling you everything you need to know about how to get Free samples and other freebies with out surveys, scams and rip offs. Let’s start out with the obvious, how NOT to get scammed and ripped off…

How to avoid scams and NOT Get Ripped Off When looking for Free Samples by Mail:

1. Read the Find Print!

When on a webpage that gives out free samples by mail or any freebie it’s important to scroll ALL the way down to the bottom of the page. Is there any fine print there? Is there anything that says “ terms of service “ or “ Sample term and conditions “ ?

Read an offers Terms and Conditions. Read all the ” Fine Print! “ This is an Example of a FAKE Free Sample! Feel free to check out the offer for yourself [ HERE ].

Sometimes having “ terms of service” or ” Terms and Conditions ” is a great! It means that the company has put into thought who is going to get a freebie and they want to be transparent and honest with you about it. Other times, they list a freebies that extremely few people are going to receive ( like maybe 1 person ) AND you will have to complete a TON of different offers to maybe get that that freebie. All of this will ( should ) be listed in the  “ terms and conditions”. So, for example, a webpage may list a FREE Hair Dryer and “ all “ you have to do is submit your email address. HOWEVER, if you were to take a look at the “ terms and conditions “ you would easily see that in order to get the “ FREE Hair Dryer “ you have to 1st – sign up with your email address. Then complete 5 more offers. Oh, and your email maybe be sold to other companies *cough* [ Sold to everyone with a pulse ]. OH, AND even if you do complete 5 other offers they only have 1 hair dryer to giveaway. So, you still might not get it. The moral of the story is Read the fine Print !

#2. Is the Freebie By Mail too good?

If you a webpage boosts about giving away a free $250 / $500 / $1,000 Target / Walmart / Any type of gift card for doing NOTHING. Chances are it is FAKE! In my decade of freebie hunting I have NEVER gotten a $250, $500 or $1,000 gift card TO ANYWHERE for doing ONLY 1 survey Or filling out 1 offer. Sure, there ARE trusted survey sites that you can EARN gift cards from. HOWEVER, LARGE dollar amount gift cards for doing little or nothing are NOT REAL. They are praying on the inexperienced freebie hunter ! Don’t fall for it! This is also [ mostly ] true about high value items. If the item looks expensive then chances are it’s fake!

Example of a FAKE Free Sample By Mail that ” Over Promises “. See it for yourself [ HERE ].

#3. The look and feel of a webpage !

A lot of times ( but not always ) a fake freebie page will looks fake. Again, this is not always the case. BUT, if your gut says a free sample webpage looks strange – then it probably it. Let me show you some examples of some fake freebie pages that LOOK fake !

These FAKE Free Sample Webpages just ” look ” fake. Use your gut! If something looks fake to you it probably is!

#4. Endless Questions and offers…

For the most part if it’s a true Free Sample by Mail then a company will not ask you do to a survey. However, sometimes they may ask a few short questions. If you find that you are doing pages and pages of surveys then it’s probably a fake free sample. This is especially true if the questions they are asking have nothing to do with the product they are claiming to giveaway for free. In the below example image I did 12 Pages of questions there completely unrelated to each other before I gave up ( knee pain.. Health insurance.. Do I like to ” Save Money ” … and on and on.. ). The endless surveys and questions is an easy indicator that you are on a FAKE free sample offer.

I was asked 12 different questions before I GAVE UP! [ CLICK HERE ] to see this FAKE Freebie offer for yourself. Remember , it is FAKE!

The same goes for offers! If you find you have to sign up for another to get a free sample then it’s a fake free sample. For example if you have to sign up for credit score monitoring to get a free perfume sample then it’s fake!

Here are some examples of FAKE Free Samples webpage!

What happens when you fill out fake free sample offers?

I have, by mistake, filled out free sample by mail offers. To be honest no one stole my identity by doing so. However, I have had my email inbox explode with spam AND my phone explode with sales calls. So, for that reason I often use my “ other “ email address ( an email account I set up just for doing freebies ). I also use a fake phone number most of the time too.
