    FreeFlatScreens.com - is this shit for real?

    Came across this site while goofing around (done all my work for the day and I'm bored) - is it for real?

    Apparently all you have to do is sign up for a free offer (free AOL trial, free Blockbuster rental trial etc), refer 8 people who must also sign up for a free offer and they give you a flatscreen of your choice (15" LCD TV, 17" LCD monitor, 27" TV or 24" TVD/DVD combo).

    As I'm not opposed to the odd bit of refwhoring, here's the link :

    http://www.FreeFlatScreens.com/defau...eferer=8557117

    I signed up for the free Blockbuster trial (lies! They charged my $1! ) - they accept Epassporte virtual visa's! And yes, I was on the genuine Blockbuster site so I don't think it's some sort of phishing scam.

    I don't hold out much hope of me actually getting anything - has anyone tried this and actually got a free TV, or know anyone who has?

      Dunno, but I think the chance to win in the lottery is bigger than to get such a flatscreen.

                After you get the referrals, 3 days for them to review the referrals, 3 weeks for them to ship it, 2 weeks for the shipper to deliver it.

                "If there is suspicion that one of your referrals is not a unique user, we reserve the right to place your account on hold. Accounts are on hold indefinitely."

                They'll send out a few screens, the way a Ponzi scheme pays out the initial dupes, to lure more dupes into the con. But I wouldn't start clearing space on your entertainment center before the box arrives.

                  Its legit. My brother got his and I got my ipod. They are not plasmas or anything, just smaller flatscreen pc monitors and like 27" Sony Wegas. If you follow the rules and cancel the "trial" offers correctly, you can get one too.

                        How long did it take to get them?

                        Oh, if anyone signs up, be SURE to use a diposable email address. I just checked mine, and I've had four spams in the last two hours

                                        just like freeipods, they are creating a massive information database by getting intial signups and sending out the stuff - i doubt it will last long

                                          My ipod took a little over a month (they are backordered now) but the Wega was here in like 3 weeks (he signed up the first day they started).

                                          You are right about the spam thing. Get a "spam" e-mail addy
