I decided to try one of those Get Free Samples in the mail advertisements. I signed up, gave them my pertinent information took their surveys and wa-la, I got hit with over 2,000 email spams to buy products To date I have not received any of these so called free samples in the mail and have spent a lot of time unsubscribing, blocking and deleting spam. Has this ever happened to you?

I've tried once before but it started asking too much information and I backed out.

@sherryeb They really can and I don't want everyone having my email or my phone number.

They always want so much information and keep going on and on that I never complete them. Thanks for the warning about email spam.
