producttestpanel.com Free Dell Computer Ripoff Internet

This site sends you a clever email luring you with the promise of free merchandise such as a "Free Dell Laptop" for simply testing products. Okay, I bit. The introductory ad says NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, however they dupe you by claiming you need to earn "Points" by making purchases to obtain the laptop. After you buy your mandatory 2 points, they next tell you you really needs six, and so on. Then they entice you to buy from vendors such as BMG music club, and Columbia House DVD club with the option that you must complete the introuductory offer within 30 days as part of the requirements. And on and on it goes. BMG music club refused to answer emails, and had no phone number. Same with Columbia House. Fate was with me though. I made the 2 tentative purchases with a credit card that was about to expire. Next day, I received the new card, activated it and the card could not be charged for these bogus advertisements! BE very aware. The vendors will only take your money as well. I am turning this over to the attorney general and FTC for further investigation. This is clearly a case of false and deceptive advertising, and it would appear legitimate vendors are somehow involved in some kind of kickback from these unsavory web operators!
