PostPosted: Tue Jun 07, 2005 10:42 pm   Post subject: Free iPods! Anyone do this stuff?

So.. browsing ebaumsworld.com one day (well today actually) I notice a banner.. "Shoot an iPod and win one for free!" Since I was bored of watching people get hurt I decided to take aim. I was directed to www.freeipods.com. After doing some research I find out this is totally legit! You sign-up... follow a link to another advertising offer, follow through or cancel after completing the offer, and then get 5 referrals of people to do the same. Once this is completed they send you an iPod! Totally free! You can do a search on google and find multiple websites tooting the legitimacy.

So... who wants to follow this link and help me get a free iPod?

http://www.freeiPods.com/
[mod:45ed6f522d]I'm just guessing here but I'm pretty sure referalls are not allowed, for obvious reasons.[/mod:45ed6f522d]

Follow that link and you'll be one of my referrals Smile

I think it's only available in the United States. In case you live there, go right ahead. But be warned that somewhere around only %10 - %20 of people that go through this process ever get their iPod. And you still have to invest some money (~$50 buying offers, maybe more). But in the end, you still get your free iPod.

I live outside the United States. May I participate in this offer?
Good news for residents of the UK and Canada! www.freeiPods.com is now available to residents of the United Kingdom and Canada. Residents of the United Kingdom and Canada are now welcome to join and complete offers on www.freeiPods.com.

At this time, www.freeiPods.com is the ONLY website that allows residents of the United Kingdom and Canada to join and complete offers.

All websites (with the exception of www.freeiPods.com) only allow US residents to participate. Anyone living outside the US may NOT join, or complete offers. Anyone who joins outside the US and attempts to have a product delivered to a US address is in violation of our terms & conditions.

We limit users to US only because our advertising partners often do not provide their services outside the US, and only pay us for US residents.


This is right off the freeipods.com website. Canada can participate in Gratis' iPod offer only. Not any of their other offers like free flat screen TVs.

And. I signed up for the Columbia House offer. No payment is made. They ship the DVDs and then you have so many days to cancel and return the package. So I pay for shipping... Big Deal!

I didn't say Columbia House was a bad deal. I'm actually subscribed to it. I'm specifically talking about www.FreeiPods.com
You'll see in due time.

This is the kind of skepticism that prevents you from getting a free iPod. Razz

..But if everyone is against then let me know and I'll remove first post.

Now, call me crazy, but it occurs to me that anyone in the business of giving away free ipods would end up going broke quite quickly. Which leads me to one of two conclusions:
1. They're lying. or
2. There's some horrible catch.

Not necessarily, if everyone EVENTUALLY gets an ipod, they can earn money through the pyramid scheme quite easily to cover all their expenses. The thing is, I myself have witnessed pyramid schemes in action before, the people who join up early DO get money, if your further up enough, you can earn lots of money. The thing is, but the time ti gets really popular, the masses of people joining in won't get squat Razz

Nothing in this world is free anymore Crying or Very sad

Personally, anything like this I ever see, I ignore and forget about within the next 15 seconds.

This is not a pyramid scheme. In a pyramid the earlier you join, the MORE profit you make on those beneath you. This is and advertising chain. Certain companies (ie. Columbia House) pay freeipods.com to advertise for them. FreeiPods.com uses this money for the iPods to promote their site. So initially to some people.. giving away iPods sounds crazy. But the amount that this site makes from the advertisers far exceeds the amount they spend on iPods.

Do a search on google and check for testimonials if you don't believe.
