Default Holy Balls! Free I-Pods!!

You can get a FREE ipod if you sign up with them, sign up for one of about eight free trials (can cancel them shortly after signing up), and get five people to do the same. Omega has verified this does work. One of the eight offers is signing up for an ebay account and placing one bid--Easy stuff!

Suggested Completion Steps

1. Click the first referral link below. That will take you to the sign up page for freeiPods, as a member here for referral.

2. Fill out the info, using a email address you dont mind getting spam at.

3. Check your email box, you should get a email from Freeipods, to activate your account.

3. You must complete one of the offers. All require a CC type number, but I, and others would suggest using the ebay or GM card one. As such,

4. Click on one of the offers. It will redirect to to their page, make sure to tpye in correct personal information and CC information. Once you are done, you should go back to that page with all the offers at it, at the Ipod site.

5. If you see red checks, infront of the offer, than you have completed it, and we have our referral. Remember it can take up to a week or so for certain offers to show completed. As a result, you can now refer 5 other people to get your's. I can also tell you when you get signed up under someone, and when you finish your offer, because it tells them under their referrals.

6. After you know you are approved, go to the website of the offer that you signed up for, then cancel. My suggestion is to wait a few days, just to not arise any suspicions because people have had their verification revoked.

-----------------------------------------------------
Remember, To get in the line you simply have to,

- Complete the Trial Offer (See bottom of this post on suggestion on how to do it.)

- Tell us who you signed up under, so they can VERIFY that you sucessfully completed the offer.

- Post your referral link.
-----------------------------------------------------



Keefe - DONE!

so, by all appearances, this is a pyramid type scheme. I don't think its illegal to participate in (after all, who really knows the technical definitions to these things), but if you don't get your ipod, you might be able to sue/call the FBI to get your retribution.

On another note, I have one of those voice recorders for the iPod that Apple wouldn't let me return when I decided not to get an iPod. It's unopened and worth $50 bucks. I'm trying to get rid of it for $30. PM if you're interested in it to go with your free ipod

Someone on another forum actually contacted the FBI regaring this deal and the FBI stated that this is a valid corporation with a valid offering.

Apparently, with all of the referral signups they are able to make $200 over the cost of the Ipod for every Ipod given away.

If you think about it, most people sign up for one and never get the 5 other people to sign up. This is money into the pockets of that company.

I tried it, but when I put in my address information, it didn't load another page, and I never got an email. Oh well, I wanted that Ipod, but I guess I can't get it...

I don't want to have to deal with recruiting 5 other people to do it....

that's fine, but they still have to have money invested. and there is no info about the company on that site really. the question remains.

Some referral programs offer big cash, especially credit card company ones. Freeipods.com is most likely making at least $50 for each one of those credit card, or other trial, sign-ups. Thats how they make money.
