There is a scam on the internet that my sister-in-law fell for and tried to get us to fall in with her. She had received a notice that she had won a $1,000 shopping spree on their website. There were special circumstances and time limits on the money usage. I had previously heard about a scam like this one, so I investigated and discovered that this is indeed a scam.
What they do is trick you into thinking you have won a $1,000 but in fact you have not "won" a thing. The prices on the merchandise they carry are very high (highest I found on a google search of like items), and they charge a high (what they call) "Shipping and Handling". You also have to use all of the $1,000 at once or "lose it". So, in the end, you will have spent over $1,000 for shipping and over-pricing on items that are not any good to begin with. So...cheap stuff+high prices does not = free. Not even close.
