Are there any repercussions to filling out the info needed to get the free samples I see here? I'm a little leary about putting all that info in. Anybody get a lot of unwanted junk mail or spam? Or any trouble with these people getting your address and etc? TIA, folks!

I set up a separate email address just for freebies. I don't put my real telephone number on any freebie request.

I haven't had any problems at all. Most reputable companies have privacy policies and also most have the option to check or not check a box to receive future e-mail. I rarely check the box unless its something that I really am interested in receiving future e-mail from. There are some sites I am leary of and if I think they are just trying to get info, I don't fill them out.

By the way, Walmart.com usually has really good samples.

Thanks, guys! And thanks for the heads-up about the WM freebies, Denise. I may chance it.
