It's a scam based on a lie. In order to get these companies to send you a "sample", you need to represent yourself as a major purchaser. The instructions give you lots of advice on how to make it seem like you are a major wholesale purchaser, from ways to trademark your "company" name, to links to getting cheap stationary with your company logo, even services that give you a phone number answered by a secretary that is sorry you aren't in, but would love to take a message for Mr Phred Green, company president. Build enough of an illusion, and companies will send you plenty of samples in hopes you'll buy many.
That's the lie. You are tricking companies into sending you samples of a product that you have no intention of buying in bulk.
