I posted this warning over at Goodreads, since the originating post came from there:
EDIT: Tom has amended his blog post to include the following statement (in bold below). I appreciate the update and hope this avoids any confusion from here on out - thanks

Warning Concerning Free Audiobooks from Authors
Several authors/narrators are promoting free audiobooks during the June Is Audiobook Month campaign, claiming that they're working in conjunction with Audible to give you one of their audiobooks for free.
What you're not being told is that if you accept this offer, you're using up your one and only free selection from the Send this Book (aka OneBook) feature.
This is flat out misrepresentation, if not worse! So be wary before accepting any book from an author for review that doesn't come with a code or as a gift.
Here is one such offer from Tom Abrahams. Offers are also being cross posted all over Facebook.

"FREE AUDIOBOOKS...SERIOUSLY...FREE
There isn't much that's free in this world. But this month, AUDIOBOOK MONTH, fantastic narrator and talented audiobook producer Kevin Pierce is working in conjunction with Audible to give you one free audiobook. THIS IS A PART OF AUDIBLE'S NEW SEND THIS BOOK FEATURE. It allows you to choose one FREE book from a friend without joining Audible's monthly service.
You can pick any of the books listed below. All of them are narrated by Kevin and all of them are written by wonderfully talented authors.
Pick one by clicking on the cover you like. Enjoy. Then please leave a review.
And if you haven't gotten a chance, please check out my newly redesigned website.
Happy audiobook month."
