Caliph Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Ok so I know that these kinds of sites are usually BS but this one isn't. You really can get a free Ipod. I signed up under my friend because he wouldnt stop bugging me. The offer I signed up for was only $1 so who cares right. If he wants to waste his time doing this let him. But then yesterday he came in to work with a big grin on his face and pulled out his brand new in the box Ipod. So yeah. Call me a fool for not believing. Anyway. I will post the link here and if you are interested in getting a free Ipod you can sign up. If not don't worry about it. Click Here for the Link!!! Caliph PS: unfortunately only open for US residents right now. Sorry almost everyone in the game lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinger Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Actually, the i-pod is from apple, the same as mackintosh. Bill Gates is Microsoft, he has nothing to do with anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SirKillAlot Report post Posted March 8, 2005 That site is BS and just a big circle of adds so you are paying them by seeing the adds and getting nothing in return. I spent 2 hours trying to get my free IPOD. Oh well I have a Dell DJ that it 3x better than an Ipod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kami Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Well, there's a trick to getting around all that Useless E-mail Spam. Get a New, Extra E-Mail account with like Yahoo or Hotmail. Then sign up for this little Bit with your new Address and Just direct all the Spam there. You can keep your real In-Box almost free of Spam and still have that other Address sitting there collecting all that crap. Then, all you need to do is just check it every few days to see if you've won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted March 8, 2005 I strongly suggest against using such "get a free INSERT_COOL_DEVICE_NAME" sites. If you do, at least follow Soldus' advice and read their terms and conditions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caliph Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Ok, I almost have enough referrals. Now I just have to wait to make sure everyone gets credit. Been signed up at this site for 1month so far and 0 spam, popups, telemarketers calls, junk snail mail or anything. If anyone clicked on the link and signed up let me know and let me have your referral link. I will then add that to the messages instead of my own when I get all my referrals.

Caliph Report post Posted March 8, 2005 It says there is no "cancelling of the account" with freeipods.com. You can however cancel your accounts with all of the companies they refer you too. I'm not some dumb kid here. I read through all of the terms and conditions on every site I went to. I didn't just blindly rush into this. Maybe, while you are reading the terms and conditions you should try applying a little bit of common sense to your reading. The terms and conditions of freeipod.com is there for one purpose and one purpose only, to absolve the gratis network of any responsibility whatsoever till they get their money for the referrals. They make on average $60-$80 per sign up. $360-$480 give or take if they even send out an Ipod. Then when you factor in all of the people who sign up and never get the required people to recieve the Ipod. Thats free money when you consider that all of Gratis's advertising is done by people like me trying to get their free Ipod. Last year Gratis made $15 million in profit and so far has shipped out over 10,000 Ipods and ships out around 500 "free" ipods a week. The Ipod is only one facet of the free stuff they give away. They also give away PC's, LCD Monitors, Mini Macs, Photo Ipods, Ipod Shuffles, PSP's, PS2's, XBOX's, Gameboy DS's, Gamecubes's, Condoms, and Purses. You should, like I did, do a little bit of research on whats going on before you pass judgement. It's not like they aren't making money hand over fist here. :lol: Caliph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
