"FREE" * on the Internet?

Question

I keep seeing FREE (*) offers. There is always a catch or you have to subscribe to a second offer. Is there anything really FREE offered on the Internet ... that is actually worth something -and why are there so many scams. Is the general public that naive and vulnerable.
