Hey..

just wondering if the folks at Gratis were aware of this site http//www.myfreeflatscreen.com/

evil some evil punkass set up a site to look like gratis... even uses their name...

i imagine they are just collecting signups and selling email lists to someone... cuz there is no way to log in or anything...

a buddy i referred to the real site found this and told me about it.

are there a lot of con-job type sites out there trying to ride Gratis' coat tails?

Looks like somebody needs to be slapped with a C&D order. I wonder if Gratis is prepared to spend the moolah on legal fees to make that happen.

That could explain how some people get so many refs so quickly. evil

yeah, isn't that just a gratis site like myfreeipod. Gratis internet is definitely in the TOS.

or are all of them ripoffs who were to stupid to take the Gratis name out of the TOS

The detective in me couldn't help but look up to see who the domain is registered to. Seems like I've heard of this company before.

Did anyone else notice that there is no member log in button on the page?

optinrealbig is a spam house. Looks like they are collecting email addresses for spam. AOL blocks all mail from optinrealbig and their marketing partners, so hopefully you have an AOL or AIM account if you fill out that page. I feel sorry for the rest of the world )

the site forwards you to gratis. both flatscreens and iPods. i've already tried it myself. RIGHT when you put your email in and hit SUBMIT it takes you to www.freeipods.com or www.freeflatscreens.com 's information enterer.
