Making Free IPods Pay Off
By Leander Kahney 02:00 AM Aug. 18, 2004 PT
Unless you're extremely gullible, the promise of getting a free iPod from FreeiPods.com looks extremely dubious.
But surprisingly, the site appears to be legitimate. The program almost certainly isn't a dodgy pyramid scheme; it's a new form of online marketing supported by companies like eBay, AOL and Columbia House.
Here's how it works: FreeiPods.com promises an iPod or a $250 gift certificate to anyone who signs up for various online promotions and persuades five other people to participate.
Subscribers are given a choice of 10 different offers, including a 45-day trial of AOL and a two-week trial of Ancestry.com's genealogy service. Typically, the offers are free and easily canceled.
Once the trials are over -- for both the main subscriber and the referrals -- the free iPod is dispatched.
A friend told me about this in this instant message.
totally legit... all you gotta do is paste this into browser,
<b>no referrer links</b>
few clicks, then enter name to register for aol or blockbuster trial, cancel the next day if you want, no charge at all. You have 2 weeks to cancel for blockbuster and 45 days for aol , and no charge will be made.
Then I am almost at my free flat screen. Trust me, this is so easy, and painless. No charge will be made if u cancel in time.
I do recommend the blockbuster trial,
it registers instantly that the offer is complete, aol takes a day to inform the company,
plus u dont need to worry about installing anything.
<b>no referrer links</b>
So sign up, quit, and get an ipod?
