I was just wondering if anyone has actually gotten a free item from an ad or pop-up? Like, for example, an i-Pod etc.?

yeah, I got a virus which crashed my computer and fried it totally. I felt like such an idiot. No, just kidding, but yeah, responding to ads like this can give you adware, spyware, viruses, and other malware, let alone have a bunch of spam begin over loading your inbox on your e-mail account. Just read the privacy policy and the policy on what they do with your address and personal information on any site you wish to participate in and you will soon find out which ones are dirty and which ones to trust. However, those are trying to get your private information so they can sell it at the very least. It is what they do to try to make moeny, sell your address to those who send out spam to viable addresses. That is the very least you can expect from this sort of transaction. The so called prize is the bait, and when they hook you and reel you in you will regret it big time. STay away fron this type of hype.

It relies upon on how good you're at getting others to stick to you. I have been given my loose computing gadget a protracted time in the past yet all of us is familiar with that ninety 5% of the persons who try something like this are losers and don't stick to with the aid of, so the agencies make rather some money.

How could one consider that a winning, when you need to sign up for so many offers, you would be spending more than the gift they offer is worth. And the wait is sure to be many months, so then 6 months to a year to get the prize. Wow, definitely not worth the trouble .

My friend claims she did. But she said it took for ever and she had to sign up for a bunch of crap she didn't want.

NO THEY'RE ALL SCAMS :) IF YOU ACTUALLY FINISH THE WHOLE THING, YOU WOULD HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY THAT WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE BUYING THE PRODUCT
