Wowfreesamples.com is a survey site that gathers consumer opinions in return for free samples of a variety of products, including razors, designer perfumes and colognes. The Freelance Informer tested this site out and within minutes of completing two surveys, the cold calls started, despite marking in the surveys we were not interested in certain sponsored products or services (from new property developments to windows). We will update this section if and when we ever get that free product sample.
