I've always wondered what will happen if I write my correct information into the ads in Newgrounds where it's written get a free blablabla. I mean, where is the trap? It's kind of impossible to get a free Xbox 360 or something like that? Do I'll be Spam to death or perhaps they will send me a hit man to kill me and steal my goods?

What is behind that mystery?

They ask for your credit card and give it to Best Buy or something and Best Buy buys 50 HD Plasma 60 Inch TVs with your money. And you never get to see any of them.

You'll be given loads of offers in you're email and things like that. Then you won't get anything unless you sign up for 5 £/$ a second things. Then you won't get anything anyway.

A lot of offers like that don't work.
However, I heard that some do work.

Nothing is free. When you try to go get a free whatever, you will get to like part 3 of 4 where you need a credit card to sign up for something. Like a membership to something. If you do manage to do it all, you will get something. But you will have already paid for it.

I remember seeing an experiment on this on some site.

After paying a lot of money to sponsors and what not, they eventually got their prize.

Still, the risks are not worth the reward.

I'm thinking that I should just make an e-mail account for the soul purpose of testing out those ads. I mean like, hey if I subscribe to like, 10 of those ads with a phoney e-mail address and get at least one iPod nano, or X-box 360 out of it, I'll be happy.

they give you an endless amount of useless surveys. It's only endless until you buy something from the sponsors, then you get spam email from every company involved with offering you this free* gift.

You'd need to suscribe to some stuff they offer you. If only it was free.

I lived in an apartment, and filled out the adress of a pothead upstairs. But when it started asking for credit card number and shit i was done.

Well I have heard some of those actually work. Just know that if you ever put in your information be ready for a life time of spam!
