Look - I'm the #1 Winner!
Did you see this banner ad here on Buzznet this morning?
Wait, how could you - I was the 10,000th visitor, not you!
In any case, if you had clicked on the banner, you would have seen this screen (don't worry, it's a screenshot, disabled) with it's great offer for a FREE laptop... with completion of program requirements, etc. And no, that's not my email address you see there..
Check here and you'll see that You'll find that Ripoff Report has a few complaints on file about this outfit, which has many different 'free offers' running - just click here and you can read about them. And see Complaints Board as well, or here, or here...
This group has been reported on more than one occasion for using deceptive wording to get people into filling out many advertising forms before telling them that I must purchase or pay shipping and handling prior to being able to win. Note that one must have a valid credit card in order to finish their "surveys" and spend money on that card prior to having a chance at a product being offered for 'free'.
This group has complaints filed against it, but if you do believe that it's no joke and that you really are the 10,000th visitor, then by all means, take your chances, give them your credit cards, and come back and tell us about all of the great free gifts you have received.
And someone please tell me: what make this any different from the e-mail scammers and spammers... except that Buzznet gets a certain amount of revenue from banner ads of this type.
Remember, there's no free lunch here.

on the plus side the porno ones are gone! (which they didn't even seem to know about *cough*)
A person also might consider the ADVANTAGES of MISINFORMATION... They want to hook you fraudulently, so taking the time to fill out their surveys incorrectly could potentially reduce the pay that this company receives for data collection.
I am sure there are plenty of ways to tackle this.
