shmali 0 #1 September 16, 2004 So this has started going round my campus, everyone is ranting and raving and i'm starting to see more and more people carrying ipods that would not normally shell out the $300-$500 to buy one. So my question is 1) what is your take on it. Basic scheme, sign up and complete an offer then get 5 friends to sign up and complete an offer. When your 5 friends have finished you get an ipod no charge. The free offer i choose, 4 weeks free at stamps.com which gave me $5 free postage and some other goodies. 2) anyone want to be one of my referrals , you can call it an early birthday gift (9/26). pm and i'll send you my link and more info if you want.

jimbarry 0 #6 September 17, 2004 Quotepyramid scheme...doesn't that make it illegal? might only be illegal if you *had* to buy something. the marketing plan seems to be betting on people actually buying stuff on their own, or not having enough discipline and getting themselves sucked into the non-free part of the offer. etc. but, sounds like if you do it right, you don't end up having to buy anything. I've found Wired to be a pretty reliable source of info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shmali 0 #7 September 17, 2004 Exactly what I was thinking, and doesn't that make it illegal? you'd think that, but there is a write up on wired.com about it. Completely legal.

Danofre 0 #8 September 17, 2004 QuoteQuoteSounds like a classic case of a pyramid scheme to me. No thank you. Exactly what I was thinking, and doesn't that make it illegal? Its not a pryamid. Each person to sign up only has to get 5 others to sign up for something. You can cancel, it can be free if you do it right. I know people who have gotten free ipods as well as TVs. As I said, i am just to lazy to do it myself, worry about cancelling aol or BMG and then convincing 5 of my friends to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #9 September 17, 2004 is anyone thinking of siging up? send me your email address. BTW - you can just do the infone thing - you get credit instantly, and you don't have to worry about cancelling anything.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derekbox 0 #10 September 17, 2004 Nothing against shmali - everyone needs there free Ipod. But when I posted about how to legitimately enter a contest to possibly win a couple of $100,000 it somehow seemed to get zapped by the mods. Things that make you go hmmmm.....

Conundrum 1 #12 September 17, 2004 It's real and it can work. Here's a link to get a Free Flat Screen TV or Monitor. http://www.FreeFlatScreens.com/default.aspx?referer=9177103 It's really quite simple. Sign up for an offer ( that doesnt cost you anything ) and canel as soon as it posts on the account. Done. Get other people to complete offers under you and voila... they send you a free TV. Sounds like bullshit, but it does work. I thought the same thing until people I know started getting free TV's, lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 3 #16 September 17, 2004 Listen, I think this is a complete sham, but I challenge any of YOU to show me pictures of YOUR free TV or I-pod to make me a believer. I have already told one person on here not to post this crap, but since someone else already put it up, I am not going to be the one to delete it. Once again, show me YOUR free prize. Conning your buddies into buying shit to make yours free does not count (that makes it a pyramid scheme and I won't let that slide.) Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 4 #17 September 17, 2004 I dunno... the Wired articles make it seem pretty legit. I just signed up and did the infone thing - didn't and won't cost me a dime.

You just put your old fruit/veggie/meat scraps in them and then drop them in the mail. If the junk mailers want to send me their garbage, I'll return the favor.
