In order to even qualify, you generally have to sign up for some type of service or buy "stuff". Then your odds of winning that laptop are as bad as they would be in any other contest. So no. If they end up giving anything away, it's only after they have made plenty of money on the deal and/or sold your e-mail address and personal contact info. Even if you get really lucky and "win" the laptop, it would probably cost you less to just buy it.

There have been plenty of people to "win" things off the internet, i.e. iPod, but there's always a catch to everything.
You can get the "free" iPod" but before they "give" it to you, they give you many offers to BUY something from their affiliates.
The fact is, nothing is free. Don't buy into some TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE scam. If it seems too good to be true...it probably is!

Yes, but it requires work and 3-5 friends with credit cards. You have to sign up for a trial which gives them referral points (the site giving the stuff away), then it counts one for you, refer 5 friends to do the same and you will get it.

once you've a good idea of what suspicious content textile appears like, then certain its secure to receive "freeware" yet continually have anti-virus operating at the same time as downloading/operating classes and continually do as many double-assessments to be particular the article is authentic previously permitting it to get on your laptop. in case you actually typed in "loose stuff" i can rather a lot garuantee atleast ninety 5% of what it brings up will be fake/virus infested.
