99% of the time you will get spam email, which is why I made an account specifically for spam, but you won't get pop-ups on your computer or viruses or anything. The only time you risk that is when you do the download offers, but even then, your anti-virus would find it.

I want to say thank you, I have a seperate email just for my survey site's, and I don't download anything. Maybe I'll try a couple of them and see what happen's.

I'm not worried about the spam email, it might sound crazy but I'm worried about putting so much personal information in on these surveys like who lives there, my address, household income, if I work FT, I mean there's enough information there for someone to know where I live, break into my house and rob me. Or are you guys putting bogus information in on the surveys?  ??? :-[

I agree. The only thing is, you get tons of junk email. I only download free offers if it is from a company I have heard of and trust, like Netflix for example. I did that one and got the $8.00 right away. I kept it for about 2 weeks and then I cancelled it and I didn't get charged anything. I actually really enjoyed it while I had it. I just don't have the money for it. I would say as long as you keep your anti-virus up to date then you are pretty much all set, besides getting a bunch of junk email.

I think the free offers are basically safe.  Just as someone about said, don't down load because you can really get bugaboo's that way, etc.  And someone (can't remember the name) also said that with the surveys, we put sooooo much info out there..geeze that scare me more, but it's all out there anyway for a price.  ANYONE, for $50 bucks or less can find out almost anything about anyone these days ... it's the techno time of life!  chuckle.

i havent had any trouble with the free offers.  as far as giving out info, if you ever decide to get a po box, go to someplace like the UPS store, they have post office boxes for as little as ten dollars a month.  i have one for other reasons, but use that address.  the UPS store gives you an actual mailing addy, not a po addy, so it works for the offers!
