Are there any safe pop-ups, and can you really win the prizes?

Question

You know the little things that come up that say like, "click here to win an iPod"? Can you actually win the prizes that they claim you have won? And when they ask for your cellnumber or something, is that safe to give out or will it give you a virus or weird spam mail??? if anyone has actually won a prize from one of these pop-ups, please answer.

Answer 1

if you couldn't win then it would be false advertising and im sure that against the law.

you CAN win it just takes ALOT of effort.

You have to go through this whole referral program i think and you have to help people with these adds and c**p.

It really annoying and takes forever.

Edit: My God. Im not saying that you ALWAYS win.

IM SAYING; you CAN. not always.

there are scams too.

:\

Answer 2

Answer 3

there might be but why chance it? or better yet find somebody who has super antivirus that destroys everything and get them to try it and tell us

Answer 4

no but theyll give you a free virus and it5 sucks my computer didnt work for like everr

Answer 5

lol no you always have to sign up for at least one bullshit thing. and that costs your money anyway

Answer 6

from what ive found there are never any that really give you what they say they will with out making you sign up for a million things that send you spam messages first... sorry.

Answer 7

Its all a scam. You dont win the prize, but you could win a virus! Dont click on them, and dont give out ANY info on ANY site, sooo unsafe

Answer 8

No!

Don't give those things your details ever.

Answer 9

Sorry no. They are mostly adware and spyware.

Answer 10

uhhhh. NO.

Answer 11

uhm... NO. Thing is, that probably 90% of those pop ups are either scams or just sites that gather information to use it later for spam and publicity. There could be some that are legal, but with those odds... It's not a very good idea. Best is not to do it at all!

Answer 12

yes you can actually! BUT it is not free and some of them in fact are scams, to get that prize you have to buy tons of other c**p and take tons of surveys to win them. and the cell phoen ones usally cost money on ur phone bill,

No i never tried it, but a freind did, and after spending $300 on junk and taking a million surveys he got the laptop. but i woulnt get in to that stuff!

Answer 13

They are all fake and you end up spending 100s or 1000s before you ever get anything. NONE of them EVER give you anything.

Answer 14

ah h**l no those are all scams
