Get (me) a free iPod!
Jul. 22nd, 2004 02:11 pmApparently, it's legit. All you have to do is sign up (use a throwaway email address), then create an eBay account, bid on something small, and then pass this along to 5 people. Get them to do the same, and you get an iPod!
More info on it here, from a source I trust in these matters.
Care to help a man get an iPod?

on 2004-07-22 07:26 pm (UTC)"The company rep we spoke to insisted that this thing was for real and that they had already given away about 400 iPods to people. To get it to work you actually have to sign up for one of their sponsors’ offers (like the Columbia House DVD club, the GM credit card, AOL for Broadband, etc.) and also get five other people to also take them up on one of their offers. Gratis Networks picks up a decent referral fee for every one that’s completed, and since it’s a lot harder than it sounds to also get five of your friends to sign up for AOL (for example), they only have to ship out free iPods to a relatively small percentage of people, while simply pocketing the cash for anyone who is able to only get four people or fewer to sign up (the company rep admitted that they lose money whenever someone gets five people to complete orders, since it means they have to ship out an iPod)."
Let's make 'em lose some money! ^_^
