free ipods

fsmith · Post by **fsmith** » 21 Nov 2004 21:13

hey all, i read these forums all the time but I haven't ever registered to say anything. Anyways, I recently found about a free ipod offer, so I checked it out and it was definitely legit because I got my ipod. Now there are a bunch of sites from the same company that are offering different free prizes. You have to sign up, then get 5 or so friends to do the same, depending on the offer.

I have a lot of the links below, check them out and PM me if you have any questions.

I have edited out the links given because this reeks of non-community solicitation which is simply not allowed on modifed. I do not believe "Frank Smith" is a legitimate member of the community and until I get evidence to the contrary I am not inclined to allow this solicitation to continue. Frank, feel free to PM me with any more info if you like.

and when you sign up, please use the links above. That will help me get referrals, I would also be happy to hook you up with referrals in exchange.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!!

qphox · Post by **qphox** » 21 Nov 2004 21:32

Oh and since you say you've been checking these forums for a long long time, I'd say that you are essentially part of the community! But, y'know, we don't know a thing about you. Why don't you give us the skinny:

What's your name? Where ya from?

How long you been playing for?

What have you been hitting?

Oh and who's your favorite player and why?

Also, what's your favorite trick?

Did you hear Worlds' is in Finland next year? Wow! Hey, what's the name of that really good player from Finland...Something Wenger? Damn, I can't remember, maybe you can help me out on this one.

Furthermore, who is Andrew Grant's new favorite emcee?

Thanks for playing!

I've actually heard about this, is it for real? Is modified all going to be hooked up with Ipods soon?

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 21 Nov 2004 22:27

Hey guys!

I AM SERIOUS HERE!!

I am willing to go into this with five other people!

WHO IS IN??

Let's give it a shot and if it works once we can start a chain going until we all have them!

So I am seriously looking for five or however many people they want to sign up for this with me. I am not sure how to delegate who gets the iPod, maybe I do because I started it, and then you guys get them because you'll all get five more people, and then they will do the same and so on.

So I am the starting domino I guess then.

Who's gonna be number one in my iPod domino chain?

"Complete offer" means to buy something, right?

Cameron - do my knives cut through shoes? Because I've been lead to believe from watching late night tv that being able to cut through a shoe is a very important feature of a good knife and I don't want to get an inferior product...

we have american friends who know how to mail stuff!!

Come on, it can happen!

Don't be so discouraging!

millenniumtree · Post by **millenniumtree** » 22 Nov 2004 06:02

I see those banners all over the web, they're disgusting.

Shoot the gangster and win a free Ipod!
Hit the duck and win a free Ipod!
Pee on this poor monkey and win a free Ipod!

I will never fall into a scheme that advertises like these do. It's a waste of time, a waste of money, and you're essentially setting yourself up for spam and junk mail for the rest of your life. :P

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 22 Nov 2004 10:19

COME ON!

There HAS to be a few brave souls who aren't over paranoid and willing to TAKE A FUCKING RISK FOR ONCE!

shit!

mc · Post by mc » 22 Nov 2004 11:05

tom,

get it all set up, and I'll take part in that. I've had a few friends say the ipod offers going on right now are legit. just tell me what to do... we'll be the test rats in the footbag community, and if it works for us, everyone else can do it.

I wish I had an ipod.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 22 Nov 2004 11:18

OK, I'd be willing to bet that the guy that posted this thread really isn't into footbag, but he is using a good technique.

Matt, can you please PM me your address? I have to have it sent to you sine the offer is not valid in Canada.

That is step one.

I am working on the 5 referrals right now.

Also, I have looked into it and it seems that this is legit.

man, shit like that always make me nervous. so far i have never gone for anything like that, because im assuming it cant be on the up-and-up. just think...why WOULD they give away free ipods? WHAT are they getting out of this? if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 22 Nov 2004 11:46

They make money in the way that has already been explained:
- alot of people TRY to get 5 friends to sign up and fail, each of the failed attempts supports their sponsors and the loop continues
- they actually lose money when you pull it off, but the number that fail outweigh the successes and thus it is a profitable business for them.

I checked out what you have to do ti "sign up" for this. There are several free online trials of various programs you sign up for. For the most part it looks like you really don't have to do anything much.

And frankly, if there is a chance this is real it could really be awesome.

home contact information, email addresses, phone numbers, the contact info for your friends, $$$ from people who sign up for "trial subscriptions" and never cancel, CC information, bank account info, implantation of spyware, ad bots, and trojans of undetermined variety.
