And the website link they provide, takes you to a page saying "Under Construction"? Offer is posted by yet another newbie. Looks like another Facebook Hijack with a post by someone who is likely a shill for the company who posts these freebies on all of the well-known freebie boards.


ETA: I did a WhoIs for the heck of it. A 10 yo domain, yet page is "under construction"? Lazy scammers never bothered to get around to making a fake page.

This offer was just obvious, as soon as I saw the name "Rolex." Check the address out - FB page says: 26222 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33761
Now look at the picture, where's the "Switch Watch Service Group?"

BING (Pic 2) shows a different picture than Google Maps (Pic 1)

i didnt actually ask them anything ... i just heard her answer the phone as " swiss watch service " and said sorry i have the wrong # and hung up. hopefully someone reported it to FB because it down now i believe. anyways all it asked for was name and address so i am not that worried ..

This is the third freebie posted here recently in which users reported the free makeup pop-up, was previously MAC, now it appears they are doing Mary Kay. More about that pop-up can be found here. No free makeup, and you might unwittingly sign yourself up for a service you never wanted.

Looks like a scam. But I am not so sure.

P.T. Barnum was right.

P.T. Barnum was right.

Thumbs up for Quoting P.T,Barnum, though it is questionable whether he uttered that famous phrase attributed to him.

My father carried a newspaper clipping about Barnum with that phrase on it, for years in his wallet. He got it from his father, who also carried it in his wallet, before bestowing it on my father. It had grown yellowed and fragile over the years. I would often hear my father and grandfather recite that quote in reference to something in a conversation. It is certainly apropos to this thread and the post quoted, it seems the scammers live on this credo.


Greyowl, if it looks like a scam, talks like one; it most likely is. MumzOf2, gimmiefreebies, Bluefw and I typically research and post our findings. You can generally trust what we find. Sometimes other members report things they find. Some hallmarks of a scam: posted by newbie poster (poster also posts nothing but fake offers); form can be submitted without imputing any data in the boxes, after submitting you get a pop-up from Quality Health (a known spammer/scammer) or a pop-up for free make-up for a year (Mac or Mary Kay), a whois search of the website shows a recent registration, the address and/or phone number on the fake page doesn't match the name of the business offering the freebie (if you call, the person answering has no knowledge of any freebie being offered), or the address used is actually an empty lot or some other anomaly. You'll note that the mods put a disclaimer below the OP's post, plus I or someone else will upload a picture of a can of spam in the the Quick Summary. If you aren't sure yourself, trust the senior members who are pointing out the scam, they are almost never wrong. These scammers use your information to spam you via email, and sell that info to junk mailers to target you via your home mailbox or post office box. No one has ever reported getting the freebie from any of these scammers that have been reported in these forums, but some have reported an increase in spam, and the arrival of unsolicited junk mail.
