Free Gift, Special Offer Scam

Introduction

Free gift scams use free goods or services to obtain your personal information or to subsequently request for fees, such as false delivery charges, handling fees or other hidden costs. Sometimes, instead of free gifts, scammers may offer special prices for travel packages or training courses instead.

Prevention

Check the terms and conditions of the free gifts carefully to see if they contain any hidden charges or traps. Don't provide anyone with your sensitive personal information unless you can trust the source of the free services.
