$39 experiment - free stuff please

Imagine taking a roll of stamps. $39. 100 stamps.

Sending 100 letters to companies asking for freebies.

That's what Tom Locke did. And he wrote it all up here.
Tom, very amusing, very creative -- get a hobby dude :)

My favorite letter is to Hormel below. Did they send him anything - see his website for details.

Dear Sir or Madam:
I love your products. Well, I'm actually not too crazy about Spam. The meat is a little too... can-shaped... for my taste. It's a little creepy. Anyway. I am writing to you because I am a chili connoisseur, and I love your chili. Please send me all of the free chili samples you can, without getting yourself into trouble for giving away too much free chili to a guy like me. Thank you well in advance,
Tom Locke, chili enthusiast

Most Internet users have been targeted by criminal phishing emails, yet less than one third have any idea what phishing is, and only 3.5% have changed their habits due to the threat of phishing!

Risks include Identity Theft, Credit Card fraud, and more.
