Are Free Ipods, Tvs, Dvds, Etc. Scams? - What do you think of these?

Borghunter
Me myself, I have never signed up for a free "something" on the internet, reason being I beleive they are scams, adn I was wondering if anyone has signed up for these and have actuaaly got something from it.

When I look at one of those sites, they always want you to sign up for something else and those people want you to sign up for something else, and on and on is goes.

There are some out there that are scams and people are out to get you but there are some that you do get a free ipod or whatever after hard work. I guess there is one in which you have to get 5 friends to sign up and get those 5 friends to get another 5 friends to sign up and so on until eventually you get your ipod and stuff. It is hard but I believe works on some although I haven't tried them. My bro is working on one right now, I will let you know how it turns out.

Hi,

I'm in the midst of trying one out. This particular one offers a free flat screen TV/monitor. It also offers $250 in paypal. I'm going for the paypal. It does require that you sign up for one of their offers. They have netflix, stamps.com, numerous credit card offers, etc. Since you have to "buy" something, I'm guessing it's legit.

Stamps. com has a free trial, so i tried that one and cancelled before it charged me.

Feel free to sign up:

These offers are not scams as they are used as advertising. Most require you to sign up to a 'free' service, such as a movie rental scheme free for x number of months. You refer 10 people, who also sign up to the movie company, getting them loads of customers. They just hope that you get used to using their service for free, and forget to cancel before they hit you with a large monthly charge to stay with them.
The BBC ran an experiment (can't find the link) where they signed up for one of these offers and got the people in the office to refer eachother and they did receive the iPod they were after, so they do work. However, now 'scam' versions are appearing, like phishing, where they pretend to be one of these services, but you will never receive anything. Just check them out before you sign up and you should be OK.

I think some of them must be scams but I know some do actually work. The thing is, I'd rather just buy myself an iPod/laptop/whatever, and not be so cheap.

I would not know if these are scams or not, in the sense that I've never bothered to launch into a research about free giveaways. For instance, I've seen companies calling for beta testers, and there is a small chance that they might be genuine - but it definitely falls short of my idea of what's a professional advertisement. I mean, every company needs software testers, does not mean you need to go around paying non-trained beta testers $500 for using ^H^H^H^H^H testing the product.

My intution/instinct/whatever-you-want-to-call-it tells me that there are no free lunches in the world. A natural extension to ipods, dvds, etc., tells you that they don't come for free, either. If someone has really gotten one, I would be plesantly surprised to know that - congratulations to you, but I don't think I'll ever try a offer like that, thank you very much.

Cheers!
