| Free iPods... You may have read about the Free iPods offer that was done in the States last year, and about how the whole internet went crazy - basically everyone was divided into two camps as to whether this was a scam or real. There have even been articles on the BBC about it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme...ht/3683524.stm Most went on the side of scam until the iPods started turning up... http://people.ku.edu/~kgodard/2005/0...free-ipod.html http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/the-fre...t-article.html http://www.terrania.us/journal/2004/...dreceived.html (etc etc ... search on Google!) Well the good news is that this offer is now available in the UK!! All you need to do is sign-up with the site - it costs nothing and all you need is an email address. Then you need to sign-up for TWO of their offers. The offers cover things like applying for a Credit Card, switching to PowerGen, getting an eBay account, or depositing a tenner at a gaming website - that sort of thing. I've picked the two cheapest which is a low-cost call service through my BT phoneline which is free. The other was to put a tenner deposit down at a gambling site - which they matched with another tenner - so I'm now playing cards for cash  Then all you have to do is get FIVE others to sign up and do the same ... and that's it! What do they get out of it, and how do they pay for your free iPod? Well the offers that you sign up for get them paid cash as referals. It also gives them your details to sell on to marketing companies. This is where they make the money and make enough to give you a free iPod Mini. So if you fancy it, here's my referal link which will get me that iPod a bit quicker! http://www.freeipoduk.co.uk/index.php?REFID=78199 If you want to sign-up but don't want to use my referal link, use this link instead: http://www.freeipoduk.co.uk/ Fingers crossed!  |

| None of the people that signed up under me ever completed their offers, even though I did! In fact, I actually made money out of this offer - I signed up for the call from one of the alternative carriers, and my phonebill for calls dropped by half. The other offer I signed up for was to put a tenner deposit into one of those online gaming sites, and they matched my deposit, so I ended up with 20 quids worth of credit. I played this for a bit, then got really good at one of their games and started playing for cash against others. I ended up winning just over 15 quid, so I got my initial tenner deposit back plus a fiver profit! So in the end I didn't get my iPod (although there is still hope if those downstream complete their offers) but I'm better off than before |
