The Truth Behind Internet Referral Sites

Ranked #793 in Internet, #45,791 overall

About My lens

Basically I have created this lens to tell the world about those so called internet scams or Internet Referrals.

 Everyone has seen those adverts for "Get a Free iPod, PS3, Xbox" etc

 but do they really work?

I will be telling about my experiences and what I have found out since signing up.

 

 

In the Beginning......

I was always aware of these adverts popping up about "free ipods" but had never taken any notice of them as I had always been taught that everything on the internet is a Scam.

until I went to Uni that is,

In my time at university I met a couple of guys who had both signed up to these sites and had already received ipods, games consoles and more.

This baffled me as surely they must have been lying, but I saw the invoices for the gifts they had and sure enough they hadn't paid a penny for them.

I was still slightly skeptical as the internet is a place where you have to be extremely careful with what you disclose on sites.

So they showed me further proof
The proof was in the form of a whole online forum site which was dedicated to people who were doing referral sites.

and the proof forum was enough to blow anyone away.

The total value of all the gifts that they had recieved was in the ten's of thousands.

So needless to say I signed up and started on the road to getting an internet freebie.

My First Freebie

Well after a month or so of getting referrals I went into "verification"
Which is basically where they check your account for any fraudulent activity.
I passed through this with flying colours as there was nothing done wrong with any of my referrals.

After about 2 weeks I finally got my first official freebie. A Nintendo Ds lite.

I know it's not much, but I decided to start small since I wasn't too sure about the authenticity of the site.

Needless to say the site support was flawless, answering my every question and worry I had.

I am now extremely active in the internet referral Scene and have also received an iPod Nano 4GB and I am now going into verification for a Nintendo Wii.

If you have a look at the flickr section you will see some photos of my gifts that I have received.

I have also put some links to some freebie sites below incase anyone fancied signing up and starting on the road to get some freebies.

Conclusion

Basically these sites work, if you stick to supported ones.

Do a bit of research behind the site first to see if you can find people who have actually got something from them.

My advice is to check out http://www.exceem.co.uk

This site will keep you on the right tracks to make sure you do not get scammed by anyone out there.

but if you are willing to part with say £5-£10 and put in a little bit of effort. The rewards are worth it.

Thanks

Recent update: December 2008

My status atm

Well I thought I would come back and update this lens after almost a year.

I am still currently doing referral sites and have been extremely successful.
To give a bit more detail, in the past year I have received over £2000 worth of goods.

These include:

3 x iPod Nano,
2 x iPhone
1 x Macbook
1 x 37" HDTV
1 x PS3
1 x iPod Shuffle
2 x iPod Touch

This is an amazing number of things to get for free and I'm extremely grateful of the referral sites for giving me the chance to get as many gifts as this.

I never would have been able to afford it without them.

I can't recommend these sites to potential readers of this lens enough. If you would love to get some of the best gadgets in the world, but quite simply can't afford them then this is one way that you can. If you're willing to put in the efforts it really can pay off.

Please get in touch if you need any help or have any queries.

Thanks
