Best not to give these sites publicity :/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
Sorry to be a party pooper...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/A pyramid scheme would be "Join the Free iPod Club for only $50! Sign up five friends who also pay $50 and then you get a free iPod!"
(It would be a pyramid scheme because there would be no way to continue giving participants an iPod unless they continued to sign up more people underneath them in the pyramid.) (It could also be made legal if the $50 wasn't a "club joining fee" per se, but instead was used to purchase something of value. If each person who paid $50 actually received a product (even if it was a bumper sticker or t-shirt) that might be enough. The iPod then would simply be a bonus for those who sold enough t-shirts at $50 each.)
FreeiPods.com doesn't appear to be a pyramid scheme, because the participants don't have to send in any money, merely complete advertiser offers. And if they're willing to complete offers (as one of the 5 friends) fully well knowing they are not going to get an iPod, but they are instead simply helping out a friend to get one, then that is their decision. Really I don't think the site mentioned in this entry is unethical, unless people who do follow the rules are being denied an iPod. All they are offering, is a highly modified "points program" similar to, say, frequent flier miles. You have to earn, in essence, 6 points, by having yourself and each of 5 people complete an offer. And although some people may not like doing that, obviously some people thought it was an okay deal. Personally I don't think it's that great of a deal, because I doubt I could find enough people to complete offers on my behalf.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/

there is a conga line going at www.flyertalk.com for both the iPods and flatscreens to help people get their 5 referals. so far we have 12 people who have recieved or are waiting on thier flatscreens and quite a few more than that who have recieved their ipods.

here's the link:

Very good info there.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
It's not to say there aren't also a lot of inexperienced people out there trying to make a quick buck and starting up things that end up being a scam because they get so much business they can't handle it and it crumbles, so everybody gets screwed.

Gratis networks aren't complete newbies in this area.

Definitely give it a try.

Good luck everybody!

THANKS IN ADVANCE.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
I too smelled scam when I first saw the site, but thought what the hell. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have not had an increase in spam and everything seems to be legit. The damn thing even works!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/I've written up a website about the entire process. I documented everything that I've gone through (My 15gb is en route via UPS right now). Perhaps you might find the site useful for convincing friends. Comments are welcome!

Hopefully no one will actually steal my bulletin board too. This one forum is dedicated entirely to this deal, and I will be constantly updating it with proof that this is legit and anything else that they're updating themselves. If you have already signed up with someone else's referral link, then feel free to come and discuss, but please refrain from trying to get on the conga list.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
I'd also highly recomend the following site for getting information on all the offers, and how the entire process works:
http://fibb.cjb.net

You'll even find a list of other ipod seekers where you can get started in your own quest for an ipod by giving your reference to the first person on the list to get added to the bottom of the list.

Good luck and spread the word.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
the main problem i had was getting referals because most people are highly skeptical of 'free' anything. oh, so things to look out for, do not sign up anyone at the same address as you, dont try to scam them with multiple accounts for yourself, and USE ONLY IE to go to their website because mozilla tends to have problems with their code.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/Dec 19th 2005 12:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/http://www.engadget.com/2004/07/16/free-ipods-from-freeipods-com-engadget-gets-the-scoop/
