Sounds like a scam right? That's what I initially thought at first. I saw all those advertisements flashing free this, free that at me; pretty much almost everyone would think it's just fake. Well, earlier this month, after reading how people got free stuff from Transcendent Innovations for free, I decided to give their free iPhone site a shot.

First, I had to sign up for an account which asked me for some personal information. Well, at least I was reassured when they put up a big, yellow notice on top saying my information would just be used for shipping information and nothing else. I also never received any spam since the day I signed up for this, which was definitely a plus. They offer two account options, a referral account (receive help from others) and a points account (do it yourself); of course, I chose the referral account option.

Well after all that sign up stuff was over, I was asked to complete one offer. Oh boy, the fun in that. So I went to the offers page and checked out the most popular offers that other people are completing, and Stamps.com's Free Trial that features $5 of free postage was the most popular. So I went and did that for my offer requirement. They had offers ranging from Blockbuster to Diet programs, but since I didn't need those, $5 of free postage was too tempting to resist.

Since Stamps.com was an instantly crediting offer, I immediately proceeded to get my referral requirement. I asked all my friends and extended family to help me sign up and get my free iPhone. After three days, I got all my referrals done. I ordered my iPhone from this site on July 22nd, and I received it directly from them on the 29th (I'm guessing they have it on-hand and not backordered).

Now I'm a happy owner of a iPhone I didn't have to pay a dime for! If you want to check this out, just go to http://iphones.webhop.org/. Back to playing with it.

ryanparkes, incentivized marketing (the biz plan behind most of the freebie websites) is an interesting concept, but the industry is riddled with fraud. Also, are involved with this company? Your user profile lists the main site linked in this article...
