dogz, its funny u made that comparison because, in fact, freeflatscreens.com is the same company as this ipod site. a credit card is not needed for either sites.

You buy a CD worth about a tenner, then go in a queue for an Ipod.
The idea is, when you reach the top of the 'queue' you get sent a 'free' ipod. They calim you only need 40 people to buy these CDs (containing ringtones or other such piffle).

But...

You never get the Cd and you never reach the top of the queue.

I think mods should be aware that in the Uk at the moment, they have issued a public warning that these schemes are scams.
Ebay is investigating this under requests from useers and (I heard on the news) the Office of Fair Trading.

They cannot find a single human being with a legitimate telephone number who has received an Ipod from any of these schemes apparently.

If I was a mod on this site, I'd remove any reference to this bollocks.

Deadly.

Although thinking about it, why we need government warnings that getting a £300 IPod free with a £10 CD is dodgy...:p

It doesn't really matter whether it's legit or not. It's bad enough getting a mailbox full of American rubbish that's no use even if it were interesting without some dumb Texan posting this crap on Boards too.
I reckon we should just feed him to Bubbles and be done with it :eek:

He's pimping his referral id and the offer is of no use to 99.9% of the users here.
That's his only reason to be here - to pimp his referral id - if he wants to do that let him buy an ad....

Tone of this thread has degenerated... so I am closing it.... The bargain alerts forum really is 100% used by Irish Bargain Hunters, so the fact the this is not available to Irish users and the bad feeling its is generating, even tho the offer may or may not legitimate, its better that this one slips away quietly.

Hitachi-man, please just post bargains that the majotity of users can use. Thanks
