There is obviously no limit to some peoples imagination when thinking of new ways to "con" you. I have been receiving emails offering "free samples" of well known brands, e.g Nestle, Arnotts, Coke and some others. However, when you open the email, there is NO "free sample", but an invitation to a competition to win "free samples". Now if I am offered a free sample, then that is what I expect. If I am invited to enter a competition, and I choose to enter, then I am competing for a PRIZE, not a "free sample".
Another type of competition that I believe is underhand is the one that asks you to list friends email addresses before you complete the entry. I will never do this, with or without my friends agreement.
