Trying to replace iPod

[star-stryder.livejournal.com]

UPDATE: I show 5 people have signed up. I'm still waiting for their stuff to process, but I'm going to trust that it will. Thank you! If you are still interested in freeipods.com, use someone else's info in the comments. I'll post when I actually get my iPod. THANK YOU!

As I reported last week, my iPod was stolen from my car. One of my friends at MIT mentioned that he got an iPod for free using free iPods.com ( he has an iPod from them, he paid nothing to anyone. This site was also on the local news last week as legite, if confusing).

Since I can't afford a second iPod, I'm thinking of giving it a try. The catch is, I need 5 people to also give it a try. Are any of you kind souls willing to also try for a free iPod? My friend at MIT posted to a online board there to get his, so I'm trying here. How does this work?


1)5 people go http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7013555

2)Once there, fill out the questions, and for your try something option select ancestry.com. Tomorrow morning (or anytime in the next 14 days), call ancestry.com and cancel before your free trial becomes a paid membership). You can also, of course, opt in for something you want that costs money :)

3)Post your referral URL as a comment to this. As soon as I have 5 people, I'll post a comment (or can you update messages?).

I feel real slimy posting this. My MIT friends assures me this is all legit, and neither of us can figure out who this is getting paid for, but... I just want an iPod.

Not unless you also want an iPod.

I will happily be one of those 5 for you if you could do the same for me?

You can edit posts. Just go to the comments of the post and hit the blue pencil which will bring you straight to editing. :)

5 for all

Yes, we each need 5 people :( As near as I can tell, that's the only catch.

My account is at http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=7339788

I need just a few people. I'm doing an offer for you now. :)

[kora-datcvcutie.livejournal.com]

it says you have to take part in some offer. which did you choose? i really don't wanna spend any money.

[star-stryder.livejournal.com]

If you choose Ancestry.com it will ask you for a credit card # but it won't charge you until your 14 day trial is over. If you call them and cancel the day after you signup, it counts for the website, and you won't get charged.

Thanks to all your help, it shows that 4 people have logged on, but their offers either haven't been completed or haven't been processed.

I just need these 4 people to finish, and 1 more warm body to try. Then 5 people can help these ldyfyrefly and any one else who posts there referral #!

THANK YOU! While I will never leave my car unlocked in David ever again, I will trust the kindness of people in Davis Square with LJ accounts :)

I signed up for you but I said I would only do it if you did the same for me. I don't see any sign up from you for my account so I can't help you out. Sorry. :/
