Seems they are trying to get people to let them call them by offering free stuff. I don't know about you but a free 12 pack of coke isn't enough to have my phone ringing off teh hook.
I wonder if they verify the number before sending the coupon (hint, hint).

I kind of trust the FTC to crack down on any of these scams. I can sort of see it play out . . .
FTC: We've received numerous complaints that your co. has been calling people on the DNC list.
Co: We have a business relationship with them
FTC: What is that relationship?
Co: They requested a coupon from us.
FTC: Do you have a copy of that request?
Co: Uh, no.
FTC: Bam. How about we settle for $1000 for each violation?
