A couple of months ago, I came across a pop-up ad offering a free Apple iPod in exchange for accepting one of the websites' offers - that website was TopFreeGifts.com. One of the offers was Columbia House DVD Club. I agreed to join the one club, pay the intro fees, and wait the 60-day waiting period before becoming approved and receiving my iPod.
Well, 60 days passed, I was approved by Columbia House BUT I NEVER received my iPod. I contacted TopFreeGifts.com through their website and they claimed that I had not followed through with my obligation and that I was supposed to accept THREE offers (the rest of which were primarily credit card companies that only allow you to purchase items available through them! And I believe they wanted a credit card to secure the card!). The original promotion was that I only had to accept ONE offer. I fulfilled my obligation and TopFreeGifts.com wasn't following through. They conveniently changed their promotion rules.
To make matters worse, Columbia House was not interested in the fact that TopFreeGifts.com was a scam or that they were dragging Columbia House's name through the mud with their shady, fraudulent Internet practices. (see my other complaint on Columbia House).
You may only contact TopFreeGifts.com through their website - there is no actual email address. They also have a PO Box you can write to but there is no phone listing. I found out another company name, address, and phone # that may possibly be the parent company of TopFreeGifts.com:
MetaReward, Inc.
999 Skyway Road, Suite 200
San Carlos, CA 94070
650-637-7800
Hope this helps anyone out there who got scammed. I'm grateful for this website and the information it has provided and I hope that more people will continue to report TopFreeGifts.com as well as other companies who lie, cheat, and steal. We can't let them get away with it!
