The Montana Buffalo Bags is offering free camera, messenger and duffel bags for free and you only pay for tax and shipping charges. I logged in to check it out and found out that the final cost was not known until you entered your credit card number! I stopped right there... it did not look legit. Check it out, it is worth looking at it.

I hate to rain on this parade. On April 16, 2020 I ordered two bags from this company—paid over $100.00 for shipping the two “free” bags. After months and months, one finally arrived, (about a week ago) and it was nothing like the quality I expected from the advertised picture.
It is the same bag as pictured, but the picture made it look much better than the delivered product.
I am still waiting for the second “free” bag.
At my age, I should have known better—nothing is free.

Thank you for confirming my suspicion. Something was really wrong here.

It's like the old saying: "If it looks to good to be true, it usually is!"

Cavet Emptor!!! (Let the buyer beware...)

I usually get 4 to 5 emails a week, from some yahoo telling me he has 10 million dollars waiting to be put into my personal account. LOL. Printing out these letters, I have a collection of wall paper amounting to over a trillion dollars. How rich I am...Ha, ha.

Rich...

"Free" things can be tricky. Lots of places want the CC number right away - a bad sign.

Years ago, I took advantage of an ad for free items. They offered a 100% instant rebate, and the buyer paid shipping. The items weren't great, and shipping was a bit higher than I expected, but I got a few good things - penknife, etc., - for less than I would expect to pay. Nothing major, but I mainly wanted to see if it would work.

Yes, and the rest of us pay dearly every two years.

Recently there has been a rash of ads on Facebook advertising heavily discounted name-brand clothing and other things. Discounts like 90%. All are scams and should be reported to Facebook.

There are some legitimate sites offering “free” items with shipping around $10.00. I’ve ordered several and have been satisfied with the items.

There are other sites offering similar “deals” but also come with a monthly subscription fee hidden in the “terms and conditions”. They’ll say the subscription can be canceled at any time but a little research shows this isn’t the case. Even if the cancellation is successful you’re still out the fees already paid.
Just be careful.

I sold my Toyota in 1977 in a similar Advert: Free 1969 Toyota Corona with the purchase of a Lear Jet 8 track stereo. $500.00 It worked great!

The TOYOTA CORONA was a fine car for it's day.

I remember as a kid in Appalachia we had a general store called 'BAILEY BOYS COUNTRY STORE' that practiced creative advertising and once advertised a "19 INCH BLACK AND WHITE TELEVISION FOR ONLY $1.99"*
