Free LED light bulbs

[interstate750]

Just came accross this site https://www.mesampoulesgratuites.fr

Depending on your financial circumstances determined from your tax fiscal no & reference de l'avis
on your tax returns you may be eligible for 5 free led light bulbs and/or 25 of choice at subsidised price.
I just ordered 25 for 1 euro delivered.  Up to 12 weeks for delivery.
Hope this is not a con , but does seem to be genuine.

I can understand why they want your fiscal no & reference de l'avis to check your entitlement and at first look it does seem genuine, but I'm not sure I would want to pass that information over to them as I don't know what access it gives them.

I have read mixed responses on some French sites about it, so I'm still not sure so I'll wait till you report back.

Q: Do you have to give your credit card if you go for the free ones?

Hi Fred

I have now checked on the net (should have done this in the first place).
There have been many complaints , but some have received theirs & are happy.
On balance I am now unsure if this is genuine & would therfore not recommend
others to take up the offer.
I guess I should have heeded my normal suspicion that
"there is no such thing as a free lunch".
Hey ho c'est la vie.

The website is owned by GEO France Finance if you want to research a little more.

It does seem a legit company, but personally I wouldn't be happy giving a finance company my name, address, tax reference and credit card details. As it's a low income offer I'm thinking they are building up a list of possible clients and you could end up with a lot of spam. I may be wrong so do please keep the thread updated.

*There was also a similar offer with Carrefour but it has since been discontinued.

I didn't try it myself in the end, but thank you for updating.

Can't believe it - my 25 LED light bulbs arrived today - less than 3 weeks since ordering.
So.......was genuine after all !

That's good to hear. Sometimes we do think too British over these things.

Enjoy your Free light, and thank you for updating.
