EDIT: Since my original posting, I've come to find out that the site in question is a fraud. Please don't waste your time going there! Thanks ...

Stirling

Here's a site that gives away free hardware for referrals. You can get anything from a stick of ram for a few referrals to a laptop for a lot with things like video cards (X800) and hard drives (120 Gb, 7200 rpm) in between. Check it out at:

What? You mean there aren't warehouses full of decent components, whose owners want <i>no</i> financial gain from them?

The world is packed with such people! How can you doubt this?

This site sounds like those contests held for school kids. You know, if you sell 100 candy bars you get a crappy piece of merchandise. In this case, if you convince enough people to sign up and buy a crappy piece of merchandise, you get some free stuff, maybe.

Not really! These attempts at ripping people off don't get talked about enough! I would be willing to bet the farm on the fact that you are in some way associated with this scam, but if your not then you actually pose an even greater risk to the general public. I have always beleived in every persons right to their own opinion. This post has caused me to seriously reconsider my stance on this issue!

PS. Have you considered serious shock treatment? Oh, almost forgot "You are an idiot"!

Sheesh, you get pretty worked up, don't ya'? You might drop the paranoid delusions and conspiracy theories ("I would be willing to bet the farm on the fact that you are in some way associated with this scam") ... you loose credibility pretty quick, not to mention your farm!

As I said earlier, I was gullible and didn't check the details ... my apology stands. However, if behaving like you are right now is how I become a perfect little forum troll, then no thanks ... I'll stick to my sometimes ignorant, but generally friendly demeanor!

Stirling

My bolocks you madea mistake, I bet that you work for the web site and are trying to get as many people as possible to see it. We have already had some1 trying to get us to go to a web site that offers free Ipod's.

From a group of really smart folks, it's surprising how many refuse to listen (or in this case read ...). Please allow me to spell this out.

I went to the site based upon a link in the "graphics card" section of this community. I bit - hook, line, and sinker, and set up the link here in the CPU forum to try to get the free stuff. It was correctly pointed out that the site was a fraud and I admitted my mistake and apologized. Let me say it again:

THE FREE HARDWARE SITE IS A FRAUD! IT IS NOT REAL!! DON'T GO THERE!!!

Does this sound like somebody trying to generate traffic???

GET A LIFE!!

Stirling

I'm loosing credibility? Very intelligent statement! As for the paranoid delusions, the real delusion is between your ears!

As I said earlier, I was gullible and didn't check the details ... my apology stands. However, if behaving like you are right now is how I become a perfect little forum troll, then no thanks ... I'll stick to my sometimes ignorant, but generally friendly demeanor!
You should drop the word IGNORANT, and replace it with CLUELESS!
 
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!....shut the fúck up

Have a nice day

Hi Stirling
Sorry about the welcome. Just to avoid further problems, could you go back to the lead post of this string, and edit it, so that it says that site is a fraud?
Thanks,- endyen
 
Good idea, wonder why fraud-master extreme didn't think of that?
