Well, this was a post asking one thing that apparently turned into more of someone asking me why I want to know or why I am curious.

All I really asked was if anyone here has tried it and done so. Yes I know its a pain in the ass, and yes I know it could also be a scam in the fact you may spend 100$ doing crap. Thanks for the opinions, again...it was just ment to be a question of who has and who hasnt...sorry if in some way my thread just got under your skin.
Yep, I know im the one ya love to hate.

No they aren't. I got my IPOD (which I have had since 2003) through one of those sites

I know how you feel. I hate when threads that are seeking help turn into interogations.

Everyone knows "a guy" who got a free iPod from one of these things. :P

Some of these sites do sound to good to be true. However I did know a friend in high school that had some success with these sites. He told that it involved some tedious work and constantly flooded his inbox with spam. Just be cautious when you approach these sites. I would also check your credit card statements around twice a week to make sure you aren't billed for something.
