When I was looking for an Ipod Touch on Craigslist, I was bombarded by emails telling me how I can get an Ipod Touch for a dollar. I was curious so I had to check it out. I was taken to a flashy landing page that descried how I can really get the device for cheap.
In a short time by doing some research and looking on the website, I found that I had to perform a few tasks to earn my reward. I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be easy. The requirements were:
1. Sign up for a few offers. Perhaps trying out a membership to a website, or getting a new credit card, or buying a foreign language tutorial cd set.
2. Then after that I had to refer some of my friends and family and they had to complete number #1.
Is it a scam? perhaps not. They are upfront about what you have to accomplish. But beware, you will spend close to what the amount of the reward is by the time you complete the offers. In most cases the reward is legitimate, but make sure you get the item that was advertised and it is in the condition you expected. Many giveaway sites will get older or defective models.
