Have any of you signed up for this? For those of you who don't know, you are supposed to get free samples of household items etc. through the mail. I haven't signed up yet myself but see it advertised on FB a lot. Any comments?

I wouldn't sign up for anything "free" from FB or any other social website. Nothing is ever really "free," they are probably looking for information.

I hate that site. I have one, but I just post photos for my very few friends and family members, I do not participate in any games, contests, free offers, or even conversation.

I'm thinking about taking it down.

No. They want way too much personal information. I don't want to be bombarded with emails and things coming in the mail. I think they even ask for your phone number.

I signed up which led to various other pages of "signups", home loans, school leans, magazines, various services and other nonsense sites. It took me about a month to get rid of the spam emails and nuisance calls.

I didn't get any free stuff either, I'm usually not that gullible but I thought that I would give this a try.

Thanks. I started to sign up one day and when I saw all the info they asked for there was no way I would do it either. They wanted everything and I could see the mess it would make for me. Glad I didn't do it.

Just another scheme to collect info on people. Of course, if you think the freebies are worth it, then I guess some people would jump at the chance.

I have a friend that signed up for something like this but she had to provided the e-mails of 5 friends. She put my name in without asking me and I got over 100 e-mails a day! I am serous, it was awful. Ads for things I would have never bought. It took hours for weeks every single day to get rid of all these e-mails. That was back when I had to delete them one by one.
