Over the past few months, and even going back further than that, we have seen a series of obvious scam offers posted in the freebie section. Recently, one user has researched them and discovered they are all perpetrated by the same person or persons.
See this post here:

The offers almost always offer a too good to be true sample or gift such as:
Godiva chocolates
Free full size bottle of X14
Free Clorox cleaning kit
Free Scrubbing Bubbles
Free Apron
Free gift basket
Here is a partial list of the scam offers:
20-25$ Gift Cards from Wal-mart, Kroger, 7-eleven

Of course, the page has since been taken down for this one which is par for the course for these scam offers. they stay up for a week or two and then go POOF.
Same goes for this one which was also just like the other scam offers:
Bottle of Palmolive Spring Sensations

Note that all the offers are promising something just a little too good to be true such as a full size product or something like Godiva truffles which are never offered over the net as free samples. They often use established brand names and use the Trademark signs to lure people in thinking it's for real.
Looking at the offers, I would not sign up. Most of them point to the same ip address 82.165.132.115 which indicate the sites are hosted on the same server.
