Hello friends,just curious to know if this is really true. Everyday and every time i would open my email lots of online promo from different companies promoting their laptops and notebooks.. As with me, this is exaggerating..impossible they would give this expensive items for free as what they said.. Now, I would just like to know from all of friends if this is true. Has anyone here really got this already for free? Please share... Mobhomeir here...

hello daddy! i am not really sure if this is true...but i think its not! haha i agree with you that its a bid exaggerated and i think there's something in exchange before they give the item...well that's just what i think and i think that's how business works...they will not do something that will bring them loss...most of the time, in their promos they will still be receiving greater return... so with me, nope, i have never received any of it and besides i don't join in any promos on line! haha

I truly believe its all a scam. I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. I remember years ago completing an email like this. You have to buy 3 different items to get the item mentioned in the email. However, I never received a thing. So never will I let them get me again. You learn from mistakes please learn from mine. Take care.

Hi my friend lelin, did you mean you bought 3 items for that and yet you received nothing? Am sorry for that..I guess it is really a scam. Ever since I had already a doubt of that..how can a company give that expensive gadget for free without expecting anything from the one who participated? Well, now i conclude that it is really a scam.. Thanks my friend for responding... Mobhomeir here...

For my entire life, I never won any contest or raffle draw. Maybe I'm just too unlucky person in this world. I joined so many raffle contest in school and outside school premises still I didn't won anything even a consolation prize. However, my niece had won twice already in a raffle contest even though she joined unintentional. My niece won a XP Gameboy worth P5,000 or $107 and a bicycle. Well, this was not too expensive but at least she won something.

Hello kissie, i think we have same fate in promos and raffles draw. But yes, there are people who has a lucky charm on that..good for your niece she got an xp gameboy for free, wow that's good. But speaking of laptop given it for free? No I don't believe that especially of all who replied this were all negative on this... Thanks anyway for responding my friend.. Mobhomeir here...

thanks for the BR friend. i think it's a scam. or if not-- it's a marketing strategy where you need to browse lots of promo items on sale and you will be encouraged to buy. again, i don't patronize this kind of marketing stragegy.

I have heard the promotions also. I can't believe they are true. I'm sure there is some catch or maybe I'm just being cynical. There is a saying "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is". That is probably the case here.

There is usually a catch. Maybe they will give you something and then you have to pay for something else. I would try and research it first, and if they request any money or if there is any cost to you, it's a scam!

Wow, one must be pretty damn lucky to win one. I think it's kind of like winning lottery, it's one in a million chance. But what we should think is probably those who are poorer than is, I don't mind having a 4 year old laptop. There are 5% of world population who doesn't have the luxury of electricity

Hey, Most of the companies that give away laptops and stuff are fake. No one could have that much money, but some of them are true. an example would be winnla on facebook, they give away prizes like mac book, wii and others. I'm pretty sure they're legit as they have users posting their prizes and Ive even had a chat with some of them.

I have not won anything from online promos. Whenever there are promos in my email, I just ignore or delete them because I think they are not true. Spams, I guess. Happy New Year friend.

Well, there are places that are "free". Now, the word "free" is in quotes for a reason. In those "free offers" they tend to make you join up with all these offers that're seemingly free. However by signing up for them you can put yourself at risk financially. If you follow up with all of them very carefully it's not too big of a risk. So you'll get your "prize for free" but in a lot of cases, suffer the consequences later if you don't follow up with any offers that you signed up with for "free". Hope this helps,

I never won anything in online promo. It also must collect points and these points can be exchanged for prizes but I think it is impossible, I just give up for this one because we must search people to register. In this world where there are free if we don't try by our self.

Not in an online promo. I've entered my e-mail adress, but never got very far. Those are scams trying to get you to go through promotions for other people. Places trying to get your money. Its a waste of time. If you see those delete them. People often try to offer big prizes, to get their products noticed by eager users.

i am also a member of this kind of site, they give away laptop only for 195 points,and 1 point to read one e-mail from them, and till now i have 42 points, so it will take some time for me to got scammed. no doubt i have got paid from some sites, so i thought nothing wrong to try this one also... lol... so lets see what happened.
@mobhomeir (7558)

I respect your decision my friend. 195 points minus 42 equals 153 remaining points to win a laptop how often you open their site for an email to read..once a day? 153 days to go...well, good luck my friend just PM if you got already the laptop...thanks for responding...
