I love it when the postman delivers the Internet freebies that I asked her a few days, there is something incredibly fulfilling about having something for nothing. But unfortunately there is a downside, it is done so in order to fill the amount of spam that your mailbox and inbox.
I try my best to make sure I avoid unwanted advertisements, while signing up for these freebies. Is this something you want to learn how to protect against so take a moment to read the advice below.
• First, I want to create a new email account specifically for the Internet freebies and offers. I think my original for personal use and must not be in your inbox, take care of the top filled with spam. You do not even have to check this inbox, unless there is a particularly important freebie or newsletter, but then you could always have your important e-mail account for this.
• If a company requests a phone number, then you should be careful about giving your personal home or mobile phone number as you may end up receiving unwanted calls. I personally would set up a free phone number online via Google Voice. This allows you the company to be sent directly to your mailbox or your number directly without giving set.
• Sign only to Internet advertising gifts and offers from reliable sources. Use your common sense, if it seems too good to be true then it seems likely. Do your research to ensure that it is not a scam. Never give out personal information like your social security number or even your date of birth, since this is not relevant for obtaining a freebie. If it require a date of birth has, then you can always have a generic.

When filling out the form to ask your Internet freebies, make sure that none of the boxes were checked for you automatically, as these are generally newsletters, notifications and Follow-up e-mails that your mailbox is spam. Make sure you uncheck the box before sending your request.
• If you do not feel comfortable offering your real name, then you can always use an alternate name for your middle name or just one up. This allows you to distinguish quickly that the gifts in the mail.
