Title: What do you think about Gratis?
Post by: Triple Ace on June 25, 2005, 10:16:28 pm
I actually got convinced this is real. They are giving away free things such as psps, ipods, desktop pcs, and flatscreen tvs. Before I signed up I researched it on different forums and they said it is real. Msnbc, cnn, fox, G4, and Wired also said the same thing. I also read the sitse testimonials and checked out the gallery of people that received their free thing. I was wondering what you guys thought about it?

You have to sign up for a free or cheap offer (I picked the 14 day trial at real superpass and canceled it after I got credit for the offer) and you have to get a few people to do the same. I just need 5 people to do it.

I am going for the PSP. But I can't get no one to do it. It may take a while.

Thats how these things usually work.  Referral pyramids suck real bad.

Just remember that for every person in a gallery of receivers there are galleries of people that haven't received their stuff yet. The bottom of the pyramid always gets the shaft...

a guy has to be really dumb to sign up for these kind of things, no offense against you Triple Ace. I've seen a documenary about this and to actually get something free you have to sign up your friends and family for that companys products.

Nothing in this world  is free. We are allready paying for the air we are breathing.

No offense taken. I'm not asking my friends or family. I've been trying to get random people from chat rooms and different forums to do it. People I don't know and could care less about, just in case I get srewed over.

It almost sounded like you were trying to advertise to us.:wtf:

No, I'm not advertising to any one here. I would never dream of it. I love this forum and don't wish to be banned from it. I consider the people here to be friends. If I wanted to advertise I would post my referral link. I posted it on steam's forums, which was really funny. I did that because I hate them. I was just wondering if anyone heard of it.
