Do sites like yourfreeistuff.com actually give you free iPhones?

Question

What are the hidden catches? Will they send iPhones to Ireland?

Answer 1

I'm certain these sorts of offers are only marketing ploys.

~~

Being curious and persistent and increasingly astonished at such wild claims, I’ve *tried* to get to the end of such glorious offers.  Several times.    

In all the cases I tried (about five times through the years) first there are many, many, many, many, MANY screens full of MANY check boxes indicating your desire for more information about (or indicating exactly the opposite) a gigantic variety of products/services.

After that there is more of the same--but this time you *must* choose two (usually) to qualify for the Big Prize.  (The Big Prize is, of course, the supposedly free iphone or whatever they're offering.)

In my firsthand experience, one of two things can happen when you get to the "choose two" part of the scam.

1. You have to pay some money to begin some service or get a product.  It's not usually a lot but you ARE required to shell out some money. Along with this stage comes the information that your email addy will get plastered all over the world 'o mass marketers.  They don't say it like *that*, of course.  But that's what they mean with the words/language they use at this point.

2. You get tossed back into the ongoing living h**l of more and more and more and more check marked pages.  Never ending lists, tens of boxes to check or uncheck if I DO or DO NOT want those particular products/services.  At this point you're, essentially, back at the beginning again.  I've followed this loop through three iterations (complete loops) and never reached a place where I actually got any information about the Big Prize.

In all cases, I used a throwaway email addy from the beginning of the process.

In all cases, and almost immediately, the throwaway addy was filled to bursting with total spam.

My advice?  I think this is a cheap, effective marketing gimmick.  Don't go there.

Nobody gets something for nothing.

Answer 2

The catch is it's not totally free.  Companies that offer these promotions have to help cover some of their cost and they do so with offers.  You have to do one offer for your own account, then, if you sign up with a Conga line as explained below, you have to do one other offer.  The good news is there's plenty of offers that are just $10, so you wind up with a brand new iPhone for $20!

Personally, I had trouble getting friends to sign up.  Conga lines work well, but most are long.  There's a new, low-key Conga group on Facebook that moves fast, right now there's only two people besides the Conga leader in line.  On Facebook, join the group called Shortest TRAINN Conga Line Around.  You can also do Multi-referrals there, which allow you to skip way ahead in line.  Offering that encourages more referrals as people want their stuff fast and first.  I'm working on my second reward now, only took me two weeks to get my first reward using this Conga group.  :)

If you haven't joined this program yet, it'll cost you about $10 (to do one referral for someone, it's not *completely free.  Nothing worth anything is!)) then you wait for people behind you in the line to do the same for you!  

If you need to sign up for the rewards program, and you thought this info was helpful, please sign up through my link!  :)

Answer 3

most probably not those are usually scams to get u into purchasing other things

Answer 4

The catch is that it's a referral scam ...like all the other sites that promise you something for free

You have to get a whole bunch of other people to join in order to get points (You become a spammer and end up getting banned from forums and other sites)
