Hi ****,
We're sorry to hear that you didn't have an enjoyable experience with our site! I don't see any correspondence with your email address and our support account but that's okay, it's still really easy to unsubscribe yourself. Simply click unsubscribe in the footer of any email we've sent you. If you don't see an unsubscribe button, the email did not come from us.
If you are a member of our SMS program, simply reply STOP to opt out.
I hope this helps!

My daughter ******* (11 years old) received a **** debit card from Netspend. She never requested the card. ******** advised me that they got her info from getitfree.us and that they said she may have requested it on her behalf. They continue to share her personal info with other companies and is now receiving lots of unsolicited offers.Business response

Hi ****,
Please email us at *************** with the email address your daughter would have used when registering with us. I will need that to reference her user history. I conducted a search with your email and we don't have any records associated with it. If there is not another email address that you can think of that she may have used then unfortunately this mail has absolutely no association with us at all. Thanks!

my daughter's email address is *************************************
They are scamming kids and need to acknowledge their unethical business practices.

Hi ****,
I can gladly ensure your daughter is suppressed from any of our marketing campaigns. There were no records for the email address you provided which tells me the lead simply could not have originated from us. We'll still take steps to ensure she's not contacted by us in the future. That said, please be aware that complaints are published publicly which is why I suggested emailing us her address so that it would never be shown here.

I don't know how. But somehow my email got registered for this site. However, when I go to unsubscribe it says invalid email but won't let me change or do anything about it. The emails are scams and I don't want them.Business response

Hi ******,
We're sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying our site but no worries at all. If the unsubscribe button is not available in the footer of the email, it did not come from us. However, based on the screenshot you attached I believe I see the issue. It looks like you may have input "[youremailaddress]@gmail.com,phill" so it does make sense that would error. Try simply, inputting your email without ******* at the end. I did not post your actual email here for your privacy! I will also add your email to our unsub sheet from our end. Thanks!

Hi ****,
No problem at all, we can help you unsubscribe yourself. I test our email preferences page often and it is functioning across all channels. What kind of device are you using? What browser is it? If you receive an email from us, simply click Unsubscribe in the footer and then update your preferences on the next page. If this doesn't work correctly it's possible that email did not come from us or there is a technical limitation with the browser or device you are using but that would be highly unlikely.
If you would like to remove yourself from our SMS program, simply reply STOP to any message we've sent you. Replying STOP is usually an industry standard so you can try that for any messages that did not come from us too and it may work!

Hi ****,
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had a positive experience with our site, but please allow me to help. We absolutely do not require anyone to be a part of any of our communication programs. If you would like to remove yourself from our email list, simply click Unsubscribe, which you can find in the footer of any email we've sent you. If you do not see an Unsubscribe button in the footer of the email, it did not come from **. If you would like to remove yourself from our SMS list, simply reply STOP. That keyword is an industry standard, so even if you aren't receiving SMS messages from ** that still might work. Replying STOP to SMS messages that came from ** will remove you 100% of the time.
I hope this helps!

I submitted my personal information and they promised that I would get free DeWalt products. The product was never actually confirmed and then I began to receive spam text messages. The questions and surveys are never ending and you never actually get the product. They just sell your information and you get tons of spam.Business response

Hi ******,
We're sorry to hear that you did not have the most positive experience with our site. I can assure you that if you properly claimed your DeWalt sample it will arrive at your door within 4-6 weeks. If something went wrong, please email us at ********************************* and we can help figure out what's going on!
Furthermore, if you would like to be unsubscribed from any of our programs, that is totally fine! Please simply reply "stop" to any SMS message you were sent and you will be removed from the list.
Thank you,
