    No worries.  Central Michigan University has been made aware of
the referral spam, and, I'm told, will take action on it.

It was kind of a give-away when the spammer/scammer said $8.95, then
offered a loan to pay for it ("Instant Credit")!

I have no idea why he said "instant credit."  You don't *need* credit
for freeipods.  Though you may need a credit card.

At least he was up-front that you might have to complete an
introductory offer with a monetary cost to qualify.

Anyway, it's not a scam--at least not in the sense that they won't
come through with their end of the bargain.  I got my free iPod via
FedEx yesterday.

(I offer this only for informational purposes...as you might surmise
from the fact that I just got my iPod, I don't really care if you
click the link in my signature or not.  Please don't, by all means.)

Whose offering a loan? Credit has different meanings.

I know that. It could mean a citation or perhaps thanks for work
performed, e.g., but I don't think that's the meaning in this context.
I'm pretty sure that the meaning in the context "Honest and Instant
Credit" is that one can very quickly get a loan. I'm sure that you'll
enlighten me if I'm mistaken, but be warned that double-talk does not
fool me.

Which, again, is quite odd, as you don't *need* a loan to get a free
iPod from the place he was advertising.  I don't know, maybe he was
just trying to make a subject line that would get his post read,
throwing in random marketroidese.

Uh huh. Say, I've got a nice piece of mountaintop property in Florida
that I'd like to sell to you.

Dude, as I said earlier, I've *got* my free iPod.  I know what I'm
talking about when I say I didn't need a loan, credit, financing,
etc.

But the important thing is, what does this have to do with freeware?
This thread is being crossposted into alt.comp.freeware and is totally
off topic.

Speaking as someone who is entirely unrelated to the original poster,
and frankly couldn't care less whether you went to his referral link
(or, for that matter, mine)...well, I got my own free iPod yesterday,
via FedEx.  (Which is why I really don't care whether you go to my
referral link or not...my conga line doesn't even have my own referral
on it anymore.)

As long as you make sure to use a disposable address to prevent future
spam, and you have the necessary patience it takes to get 5 referrals,
you *can* get a free iPod.
