FreeStuff Avis 79

They bombard you with spam. Avoid!!

Useless and a disgusting habit of bombarding your phone with spam text messages. Stay away! it would be nice to cancel these texts without charge.

It’s all about getting your phone and email address then they bombard you absolute rubbish scammers

Getting scam calls. Asking for bank details and all. Avoid at all cost.

Never used them, dont know what to do about these messages and calls

have never used them yet they tex me, i dont have an account with them, or never visited the site.

Thought of making some money by signing up to the surveys and stuff, biggest mistake. Didn't win anything and I most likely released a lot of private info to companies that will sell that on. Biggest regret of my life, constent text messages about joining the new freestuff raffle etc. The optout number 63666 doesn't work at all. I have finally went on their website again and unsubcribed using that. I have a cap on my sim so hopefully I didn't lose any money from this terrible companies repeated messages.

I usually enter competitions with a fake phone # (please don’t do this, I was desperate at the time) but the other day I completely forgot and just automatically auto filled my contacts. Next thing I know? A message come through, I go onto my EE account to see I’ve been charged 30p. I opted out however it cost me 15p. The company have 100% sold my details on as today I got 5 spam calls, I’m used to getting the odd one here and there but 5?! Please don’t sign up to this. If you’re looking for money, I recommend a survey site called Qmee (in the uk at least) :)

Aggressive scam.
No way to unsubscribe even never heard about it until start sending text spams about every half an hour.

An absolute scourge, these people get hold of your contact details and then relentlessly bombard you with unsolicited emails and text messages, pretending that you've somehow signed up to be pestered. Emails and texts contain an unsubscribe link but clicking it will no doubt just confirm to them that your details are active and they can be abused.

I have never signed up with this company despite what they claim; they have no doubt bought or otherwise obtained contact details some other way.

Now receiving multiple spam emails a day and they are sending from multiple email addresses to try and circumvent spam filters. Also, getting text messages from them from multiple different phone numbers, presumably also in an attempt to evade any blocking. The tactics this company uses are disgusting.

I suspect the few positive reviews they have on TrustPilot are put there by company employees, bots or paid shills.

Note - I would never reply to any text message from them, even one claiming you can stop future texts because you can be charged up to £2 plus your standard message rate for the privilege.

Scam, taking part in other reviews this site has my details and has been relentlessly bombarding me with texts.
Instantly I began receiving spam robot calls from fake non geographic numbers.
The 63666 number to text OPTOUT to is fake and unable to send a text to it.
Also it seems unable to block as I have blocked these texts every time they are recieved, fake fake dangerous scam that should be blocked by all networks

Like everyone else is saying, definitely a scam.

I'm trying to make money to save up for my tuition fee to study an MA so I've been on survey sites to get some extra petty cash. Tedious, I know. I was on Swagbucks when it directed me to its 'discovery' bundles. I could get some extra Swagbucks points for signing up to FreeStuff. However, not only did I ""win"" an iPhone (after the site took £1 out of my bank account where I had to ring my bank and block any future transactions from TheMindTask.com - a website I've never visited) but I'm now being spammed relentlessly by FreeStuff, TheCasino and other phishing sites after my data/money.

The 63 666 number it urges you to text to 'unsubscribe' bounces back immediately.

I'm hoping the fact that I have a £0 extra spend cap on my mobile plan that I won't be charged for receiving/sending texts. For now, I've blocked the number(s) anyway.

But I would definitely avoid!!! I've learnt my lesson!

Super annoying scam. I've never even visited the site and don't ever plan to as I've no clue how they even got my number. I never visit such waste of time sites as they are all essential scamers. Nothing is free. Specially in todays world with technology is so easily and heavily relied upon.

Even if you think you might be getting something for free by doing a survey but your not. The questions asked are designed for extraction of personal information from you to sell on to the highest bidder.

Scam. Very annoying, all you will get is junk calls

your ass reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

SCAM. Would not stop sending me texts saying to confirm and entry which i ignored, they then said my location and told me i had won even though i never entered.

Bombard you with texts and you can't opt-out (message not delivered) or even block them. They should be investigated for these shady practices.

BTW, I read that this works to find out their number and block them (iphones):
Open the Spam SMS in question
Tap the face-like icon at the top of the messages pane, and then tap Info
Tap the blue phone icon on the right side of the spammer's name
This will start a phone call. Cancel it immediately
Close Messages, and open up your Phone app
Tap the Recents pane
Click the i icon next to the number you just dialled
Select Block This Caller

In a moment of weakness, I entered a 'free' prize draw for kids toys or something. Normally, I know better. Just started getting bombarded by texts from them and realised they will have harvested my data without my consent.

They also charge to opt out of texts! What a con!

The positive reviews on here are clearly fake. I don't for a second believe they won anything.

They constantly spam and you cannot opt out. Block them and report them. Hope this company goes bankrupt.
