They actually exist: markets that are looking for product testers. But there are also black sheep who are only interested in collecting your data.
The drugstore chain “dm” supposedly has products to give away here:

“That's great. I received 40 amazing products from: [URL]
It was so easy to receive them without paying a dime.
It only took me 3 minutes”
Feature #1:
The link that you should click on seems to point to the dm-drogerie page, but if you take a closer look you can see that it doesn't say "Drogerie" but "Droger l e", i.e. with an "l" instead of a " i”.
Feature #2:
There are many grateful comments under the post. But there's one little thing that's wrong!

All commentators come from abroad and their profiles were only recently created. The only commenter who appears to be German-speaking is “Ursula”, the profile is also only a few days old and only contains two pictures. In some cases we were able to understand that the profile pictures come from other websites and do not belong to the profiles of the people commenting.
What happens when you click on the link?
The creator of the posting is deliberately targeting smartphone users. If you on your PC , nothing much happens: you get to a fake “dm” page, but if you click on “Continue reading,” you end up on the drugstore chain’s original page, not a word about the alleged campaign.

On the smartphone , however, things look different.

“Yes, I agree that the companies listed on the sponsor list will inform me by telephone, post or email about offers from their respective business areas.”
Suddenly it's no longer about free products, but about a €250 dm voucher that you can win. However, this competition is a data collector . There is nothing to win, but you will be entered into dozens of newsletters.
Apparently at random you can also end up on other sites that also have an apparent time limit and thus put additional pressure on the user, but even then you end up on the data collector sites.

Pay attention to who shares a link and where it leads!
This is particularly tricky with “dm”. The drugstore chain is actually regularly looking for product testers . But you should make sure to only take advantage of such offers from the original Facebook page , not from dubious profiles! You can recognize this page by the blue tick next to the name:
