in a car ad i was erlier it has free sunglasses. check out vipereyewear.com to see the company. it says i can get 230$ glasses for 19 beacuse i only pay shipping. if i send a check i cant get sammed right? like, if i send them the check and they cash it but i never get the sunglasses i could just sue them, so i have nothing to loose by sending the check to see if i get the glasses. and input with this ad liek has anyone tried it?

From what you say, it probably isnt a scam, they just make money off the shipping/ handling, although, not alot of things in life are free, so wach out for other hidden fees.

It shouldn't be a scam, you can always pay for something via PayPal (if the option is there) and you can make a dispute against someone which they pay back every penny! (I've done so with counterfeit goods and won)

ive never used paypal but its not an option, so ill just send a check. and ill be sure to dispute if its counterfit, but companies like this can scam people because they dont stay where they are for very long. like online medical company's will say money back gurantee, but they move like every 3 months so you cant fidn them . i learned aobut it in health :). anyway, im gonan go for it and post back in a week to tell you if it worked or not. if it does i encourage poeple on here to do it cuz there like 230$ sunglasses for 19 bucks.
