Websites such as FreebieMom.com offer access to sweepstakes, giveaways and coupons. The real FreebieMom.com website used a Facebook page to promote its offerings and had 5.6 million likes, but the website took down the Facebook page and replaced it in December due to scammers using the Freebiemom.com logo. A recent search turned up at least 17 suspicious sites using versions of FreebieMom.com’s name and logo, but these websites are not associated with the real website.

A statement on the real FreebieMom.com Facebook page reads, “I do not send messages. I do not give out large prizes. I do not friend request. To win the prizes pictured on this page you must click the links and enter. If someone messaged you using my picture, it is a scam.”

BBB’s Scam Tracker reports consumers in Texas, Ohio, and North Carolina also received messages from people claiming to be associated with FreebieMom.com, instructing them to call a phone number to claim large sums of money and cars supposedly won from sweepstakes.
