As we have a huge freebies section it is important to have thread that has a list of all scam sites to prevent us either from posting threads or wasting time on items that never come.

Others on SD recommended me add these sites http://samspade.org/ and http://www.whois.net/ to get more info. thanks Isis

Adding information about such sites are also available at hiddenmysteries.org [hiddenmysteries.org]

I was hit some by below few of them in the recent past and (somebody on this forum provide me the link (couldn't find him name as my original thread was deleted) and thought it will help this forum. Please spread the word about this thread so that everybody on these forms can benefit from it

Here is a compiled listing of SCAM SITES, ADDRESS HARVESTERS, PHISHING SITES.

Ringtonica ~ They post a new freebie each month which never comes, but spam does.




the mini football offer from theexerciseguru.com, BEWARE

I would add freemilliondollarbills.com/index.htm -- it is coming around again on smaller freebie boards.

http://getyourbeats.co.cc/
This is getting visitors from Facebook who believe they will get free beats if they 'attend' and invite all of their friends. The site is just making a profit from a content locker.

Can you post how we tell which ones are spam ones?
To my knowledge there is no surefire way to tell. Please correct me anyone if you think I am wrong. There are signs that a site might be a phishing/scam/spam site, but even if they have these signs it does not mean they are definetley one. The signs are:

1. lots of google ads
2. check their homepage and see if it looks "irregular"
3. look the site up on http://www.samspade.org or http://www.whois.org and if its a brand new site, or some of the information looks strange
4. google their phone number or address and see if the information is in line with their whois or samspade information

Sometimes its just a feeling you get about a site, like it just does not feel right, something is off. That is when I check it out (# 3). BTW, I think the majority of people who post these do so with the best of intentions. Most of us have either posted or signed up for offers from these sites (me included).

I wish Nuala'sMom would respond to this. She is really good @ ferretting out these bad guy sites!

Rewards Gold is not a problem. They send the mags but not the spam. Remedy Life, on the other hand, is SPAM.
Agree-RG is fine, I always get the mags and NO SPAM(except more mag offers) and they are great magazines with full subscriptions(not just a 3month trial etc)--Remedy Life should definitely be on the sh*t listnod

This is such a good idea, I'm so glad it is posted. It will help us from being spammed so bad. I prob get 100 to 150 spam emails every day. Maybe this will help a lot.

Umm...

Several years ago, I would do CleranceCrazy offers and get freebies. Sometimes they would just send a pack of lipton instand soup if they ran out of stock on a certain freebie they were offering, but I always got something.

I haven't gotten anything recently, though. So, while it MIGHT be spam now, it didn't use to be. :/

anything from ANY free host - if you see a subdomain/folder - go to the main domain


if it offers hosting, its a scam

-unless the freebie is free hosting
