Do E-mail & Zip Submits Make You Feel Dirty?

14 years ago

If there are some sort of paid sign ups entailed after the email or zip submit, I would say it's entirely a false advertising. But completing surveys is fine with me as long as they are free like CPAlead surveys.

Thanks

They have a very aggressive back-end sales system ( to put it nicely )

I find them a little annoying but overall I don't have too much of a problem with them. I understand that nothing is really free so...

They're one of the shadiest out of all CPA offers

...and to make matters worse, I just found a "Free UFC Gift Card" offer on PeerFly that allows users to purchase items at TheUltimateFighterStore.com, WECstore.com, and PrideStore.com. Unfortunately, none of these websites actually exist!

Free $500 UFC Gift Card Which Can Be Used on Imaginary Websites!
Simply Give Us Your Contact Information!

Of course, this has left a very bad taste in my mouth... as I now fear that many of these promotional offers are not even achievable. (Shouldn't the CPA network verify this??)

Out of curiosity, have you found that some CPA networks carry higher integrity offers than others? If so, I would love to hear your recommendations.

Thanks

Can you show a screenshot? That sounds 100% like false advertising if it's true.

I've never heard of any of those websites, but I see Pridestore.com has nothing to do with MMA! LMFAO

I'm a mentor in the freebie industry, so I understand how these offers work, and the fact that you can pick from a selection of other offers to achieve your prize is okay, and understandable, but yes if it promises you something and doesnt give it, well then yes Id agree.

What you also must consider is the fact that most of these offers can either benefit you or a loved one and you still get the free Ipad or laptop or whatever it may be. So there's a lot that goes into it, and some are shadier than others, but overall I think it is okay and not to be perturbed by

Trial offers for Health stuff, Teeth Whitening, E-Cigs paying $40-$70 are usually the shadiest. They usually just start banging your credit card with charges, and make it very hard to get out. That way, they can get away with as much money as possible before you have to shut down your CC and STOP all the charges. :p

Yeah, all the physical product offers are shady as hell.....basically what happens is you get their free trial offer just pay Shipping and handlin.....then once you have tried our offer, you have bought it for 100 bux, yeah, now if you dont "try " it, then you can return it, but you pay shipping, yes lovely offers, that's why you dont deal with physical product trials, welll at least I dont

Some offers I can agree with can be very shady but some are legitimate as well you just have to weed out the good from the bad. And that sometimes can be very tough.

Yes, and no. Depending on the company some of them actually provide that valuable item they are giving away for free. I remember the Gratis networks from back in the day that operated similarly. I have gotten stuff in the past so I think some may be okay, but there is no real way of being absolute about it.

So... are there any CPA networks that actually verify
whether or not the offer is legit? (Seems like all of
them should!)
