Hi guys!

I could not believe it (I usually never pay attention to those kinds of
offers...), but I actually received my new ipod some days ago, so I
really encourage you to give it a try yourself !

Check out this great site that is giving away 100% free iPods,
including the last 20GB ipod that is worth 500 bucks - the one I was
able to choose ;-) !

It's a completely legitimate offer. It is funded by advertising. All
you have to do is to complete an online offer (I chose Blockbuster
online, it is just great! I really recommend that one) among a whole
list of offers, and refer 5 contacts. That's it!

It's a pyramid scam, which is completely sleazy.  In order for you to
get your iPod, all of the people who you refer as "contacts" also have
to "complete their offers".  For those people to get anything, they have
to recruit 5 times as many additional people.

So, at any given time, *at most* 1/6 of the people signed up could have
received an iPod, while *at least* 5/6 of the people signed up have
received nothing yet.  Since there are not an infinite number of people
in the universe, and even fewer stupid enough to fall for this, the
pyramid must stop growing at some point - leaving 83% of the people who
signed up with nothing at all (except angry friends).

If, despite knowing the above, you want to join the scam, *do not* use
the referrer link provided by Annia.  Why should you help out a spammer
you don't know?  Just join directly.
