Free NFL Jerseys - Fact or Fantasy?
By Pete Griffin
There's no shortage of sites on the Internet offering stuff - NFL jerseys, Apple iPods, etc. And all they ask for is your email address. But are these offers legitimate? Will providing your email address really get you a NFL jersey? The short answer is yes, but the complete answer is a little more complex.

First of all, these are legitimate offers. A NFL jersey or Apple iPod could be just an email away. But these are physical products and they can't be delivered electronically. So after you provide an email address, you're going to have to provide a physical shipping address. You'll be asked to provide your home address. Providing a home address is a no brainer for most football fans who want a NFL jersey.

Of course each offer is unique. It's normal to be presented a long list of offers where you'll check the ones you like. You'll see all kinds of offers from magazines to insurance to colleges. As soon as you indicate any interest in a product or service, you'll start receiving emails. Don't forget your email address is already on file.

Some people provide fake email addreses in an effort to reduce the emails. You

can, but you won't get a NFL jersey. You have to agree to a certain number of offers and complete certain requirements before you'll receive your NFL jersey. Requirements vary depending on the offer. But a definite requirement is a valid email address and if you don't provide one you're not going to get a NFL jersey.

An alternative solutions is to use a "throw away" email address especially for offers. This would be an email address other than your primary email address. Throwaway email addresses are easy to set up. Yahoo and hotmail are just two places to set up "throwaway" email addresses. The fact is that as soon as you provide your email address, you're going to be inundated with offers. By using a "throwaway" email address, your emails go through but you don't have to wade through all the junk mail to get to the messages you want to read.

So the bottom line is that you can in fact get a NFL jersey, a Apple iPod, or whatever else is being offered free. The avalanche of offers you'll receive is the price you pay for a NFL jersey. The offeror is counting on making money when you spend money on the other offers.
