Are Free Gaia Cash Offers safe?

Many users on GaiaOnline have been asking this question for a while now. Some have already tried a few offers. One member posted in a forum related to this topic stating that a friend of hers had his identity stolen for providing personal information. Of course, her words alone is not enough proof and there may be other facters invovled as well but what if it is true? Would Gaian users risk losing their identity for Gaia Cash?

Some users have warned others of downloading free games, apps and tool bars because they may contain viruses, adware, spyware. They caution the others to have a good anti virus software. Are viruses worth the risk in order to obtain free Gaia Cash?

This whole article isn't to persuade or convince anyone that free Gaia Cash offers not safe or at least not all. Some are as simple as providing a valid email address. Others ask for you to create an acount on their website and many of them are free accounts. Some offers are of products or services you may have already been interested in or were planning on signing up for anyway such as a Direct TV service or Netflix.

So maybe not ALL free Gaia Cash offers are bad. ;)
