ClaimFreeRewards.com is a website that claims to gift you a $500 check in exchange for completing their Unemployment Survey on consumer related issues.
If you read further on their website, you see that this $500 check will be issued to you not only in exchange for completing the survey, but also for completing the 13 required sponsorship offers, meeting their eligibility requirements, and even then only after you properly follow their redemption instructions.
If you read through their Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, it’s pretty easy to tell that the Unemployment Survey is a simply a way to get you to officially release all your contact information to advertisers affiliated with the Unemployment Survey.
The Unemployment Survey honestly tells you in their Terms & Conditions that they only way they can offer you any gifts in exchange for your survey info is because they sell your contact information to advertisers. This includes giving your phone number to telemarketers and giving them express permission to contact you even if you may be on the Federal “Do Not Call” list.
So is the Unemployment Survey a Scam?
I can’t say whether or not ClaimFreeRewards.com and the Unemployment Survey will honor their promise of a $500 check because I haven’t taken the survey. The truth is that once you give your information to this service, you will undoubtedly be completely swarmed by emails, phone calls, mail advertisements, and yes, even text message advertisements which will likely cost you money.
If you have already taken the Unemployment Survey and are experiencing this kind of marketing harassment and would like to unsubscribe to this service, simply go to their Privacy Policy page, scroll the bottom and click the blue link to enter your email address. In order to stop the phone calls and text messages there is a separate unsubscribe policy, but you should find that all explained here as well.
