I just wanted to applause you for your down to earth response. Somtimes we need to relax and and not stress over such little things. If you want something free sometimes there are a few problems but move on be happy and enjoy. Since I heard about this website I have free popcorn, laundry soap, shampoo, breakfast bar, a calander and if i get to stressed out I have the heartburn freebie. Thanks for all the good stuff!!!
PS a response to Willow…… my identity was stolen thru my morgage company so I agree there are bigger risks……..

First of all, don’t worry about it being a spam or phishing site. While yes, you did give them your e-mail and address, we already probably get a fair amount of junk mail from all of the freebie offers we do, so you’re not going to see an increase or problem with it.

Second, there won’t be identity theft at all because, well, while you gave them all of that information, there’s no social security number or credit card number attached to the deal. So all of that being said, its nothing to worry about.

Finally, again, just don’t worry about it. Think of all of the freebies that we sign up for that just never come. Many of those could be exactly the same as this, except this one was sadly obvious in the end. Nothing bad is going to happen, the world will still revolve, and we’ll just look a little more carefully next time before we get stuff out… Its part of the risk we take with any freebie we post, and we do all we can. This time, though, one just slipped a little further through than others.

They copied over the whois records exactly from the original site, and just changed the e-mail contact information. That was a real tricky one and didn’t even think that there’d be another site because everything on the site looked very legitimate. Very good catch, thanks!
