Free Gift Scams

You’ve won an amazing free gift!(Just give us your credit card number for a small shipping and handling fee.) Well, then, it’s not really free, now is it?

Don’t give your credit card number to unsolicited e-mail offers. Don’t make us say it again! If you’re really tempted by the “free” toy, investigate the company first to make sure it’s legitimate. Does it have a phone number you can call to reach a live person? Does the area code match the address of the company?

Call the Better Business Bureau where the company is located to get all the dirt.
