activemx Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Hey guys well i came across this website http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7743812 and i decided to check if this is scam or real and seems like this is real. People have actually received their ipods. There are even guides out there to complete this offer. Basically u have to sign up for a trial offer and get 5 people to sign up for an offer. Offers are not that hard. Some require credit car. Usually trial offer like AOL that can be canceled or signing up for an ebay account. So give it a go at http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7743812 so you could get me an ipod and ur self one too:) Thnaks guys http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7743812 - link http://www.freeipodguide.com/ - the guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juba310 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I dont trust any websites that say "free" and then ask for your email address. I get enough spam as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meuge Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have a domain name which comes with unlimited email addresses ($3/month). For questionable things I never download the email, and check it using the webmail utility, and I made a couple of special addresses such as junk001 and junk 002, and there's a third one but I am sure you can guess its name : ) I also made a special address for my online shopping needs, as well as my official address and an address for my friends. Along with plenty of rules in Outlook and junkmail filtering for addresses that are likely to get junkmail, only 3-5 junk emails get through to me per day, and I have yet to have lost one due to a false positive... at least not that I know of.

thebes Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Be careful with something liek this especially if a credit card is involved. If you need to sign up 5 friends it's most likely a variation of the classic and ever-popular Ponzi scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA1984 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 If it was legit why wouldn't they just pay people, wouldn't that attract more folks? Plus, how is it free when you have to do some work by getting people to sign up for something. Let me reiterate, SCAM, NOTHING IS FREE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Logic time: An iPod retails for $250 (Mini) to $300 (15 gig standard) At their cost, let's figure $200 minimum for the iPod. How are they going to recooperate $200 from you? End. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activemx Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Wtf are you talking about logic? you ****ing ****heads heavent even read the site i put the link for www.freeipodguide.com where they have the damn proof that people are getting their ipods. SO im not going to put some scam on this forum. I Have been reading these forums for more then 2 now. Anyhow lets talk about simple logic as you say. You sign up for an offer which like sigingup up with their sponsors like ebay, aol, ge mastercard, and lots of other ones. Thes companies pay Gratis (the chief company) money for every peorson that signs up to recover the cost (Nothing is free as one of u said) and you have to reffer 5 people to sign up for an offer. So 50 bucks from each person? they make 300 bucks from one person getting an ipod. COst for them to get an ipod is prolly 200 because they buy in bulk. SO thats how they MAke money and give u a free ipod. So if you dont beleive me and dont read that site and still think its a scam you are a ****ing dumbass. Good luck!

thebes Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Active, I had gone to the site before posting, but wasn't about to go through the registration process without looking over terms and conditions and checking for uptodate secutrity certificats. The links to terms and conditions will not pop up which puts you in the position of giving out info wihthout knowing what it will be used for. Not good. Was able to find one article online where the author had talked to the folks who put this sight up. He, like you, seems to think its probably legit. However, the guy he talked to freely admitted that most people can't get the full five friends to sign up so they usually don't get an ipod. While this type of scheme is not technically a Ponzi scheme it's still not a very nice way to makret products. Reminds me of the "friends and family" nonsense one of the telephone companies was marketing for a while. Believe me I'm not slamming you, and I appreicate you letting us know about it, but it's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activemx Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Well ofcourse im not forcing anyone to sign up. I posted it for my own benifit. I dont really care if anyone does not want to sign up. The only reason i posted is because i want to get an ipod since it has worked for other people. Im providing you guys with an oppertunity, so take take it or leave it. Akshay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblue Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Nice attitude. Hope you enjoy all the junk mail you're going to receive along with that ipod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
