No - don't bother, they are all part of a big scam. It's more or less always a losing situation... Sorry. You gotta pay! Anyway, they're not that expensive!

everyone should know that these freebies are all false. laptops etc cost money, and who is going to pay?? not the government or such other body. especailly for not doing anything in return. it is only possible to get anything for free like winning a competion etc. unless u stole it, but i would not advise that lol, just save up for one is the best answer!

No don't bother it's all a scam. I had a popup for a free top of the range mobile phone. Till i put my existing mobile number in, they emptied my credit in five minutes saying i had asked for Free ring tones.

Nope. From long experience, you get nothing for free. There's always some scam involved in it! It'll either be a dud, or you'll be expected to fork out a certain amount for something you don't want - eventually!

It's a scam and you have to subscribe to like 3 magazines and spend like an hour on the internet giving away all your information, then you end up with tons of spam in your e-mail.... what a headache for nothing! HA!

They make you sign up for things that you have to pay for. In the end you pay almost as much (if not more) for the laptop in ads and signups.

If it is too good to be true, it usually is.
