FAKE ALERT! Free Tea Sample Set and Tea Mug from Coffee & Tea Experts
Before you head over to claim this alleged Free Tea Sample Set and Tea Mug from Coffee and Tea Experts on Facebook, be sure to check out our research.
After all, we are the home of the Gimmie’s Big List of Fake Freebies to Avoid. We research all samples before we share to keep you safe online. You may not realize it, but scammers and spammers are notorious for posting fake offers. There are lots of reasons why people post fake freebies, but usually it is about money. They build up a website or Facebook fanpage and then sell it for profit. Or, they take your info submitted in their alleged freebie form, and sell it to Spammers.
This offer was first shared in March. Nothing has ever come from this site!
Findings (What makes it fake?)
- SPAM popup after submit! – Not just one but THREE of them!!

- This company does not exist
- There is no website
- There is no product info, and no way to purchase alleged products
- How could a business like this afford to give away unlimited numbers of various freebies?
- No Address given
- Request form cannot be submitted empty (they’re on to us! lol)
- Images are hosted on the same cloudfront.net server that known scammers (such as Anti Snoring Center) use

https://raw.statichtmlapp.com/tab/1/visitor/209398525909104 - This was shared by a known scammer who has shared other fake freebies (such as the FAKE offer for a Olive Skin Care) that won’t come.
- UPDATE: I’m happy to report that Facebook has taken the fake Skin Care Advisor page down! Thank you all for reporting them! Please report this one too!!
Conclusion:
This is not a legit offer, it is spam.
STEER CLEAR!
