I found this site offering a free car seat and am wondering if anyone knows if offers like this really work? http://www.CarSeat4Free.com/get.cgi?&sid=118005&cid=86911&e=w&k=1&mid=65809013

The usual catch attached to free offers is that they are collecting information which will be used for soliciting business.Info collected is used to generate spam and junk mail and often sold to companies involved in selling via call centres and a thousand other businesses.
Free goods and services offered are often genuine,but may carry with them an obligation to allow yourself to be further solicited by sales oriented techniques.If you do not mind that sort of thing,some companies will even pay you to assist them to collect info.

Yeah, here is a site that lists several free offers, some of them don't require a rebate and such. There was even an offer for a year's subscription to a magazine on there.

There is NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!!!
Nothing is free. Read the small print! Click where it says "Terms and Conditions" and read carefully; click on "Privacy Policy" and read carefully.
Your link doesn't point to a car seat but to a plasma TV, by the way.

I definitely think that all people should pursue these ads for free things. Most small internet companies still have millions of dollars and feel like doing philanthropic things like car giveaways with no strings attached. Doesn't everyone know that American business is what is best for the consumer; that whole stockholder thing is not important anymore.

Nothing is free on the marketplace. Trust me, they are getting something from you. Stay away from such offers if you do not want to get an email inbox full ofnjunk emails.

I never trust these things. Nothing is for free, there is always a catch.
