Pretty simple question, did anyone get an influx of junk mail after signing up with gratis or other companies? If so, was it from Gratis/offercentric, or was it from the people you did the "offers" with, and which offers yield the most junk? (I.e. AOL gives you endless trial discs) Thanks a lot.... And did any of them call you? Sorry if this is wrong area to ask this....
Thanks.

Yeah, I'm getting tons of Junk mail, but it's a price I'm more than willing to pay.

Was it real (snail mail) or email? Also at what point did you get it? I.e. after signup, after you got the Ipod, after you did the offer, and who sent it? Gratis or like AOL?

I get a relatively large amount of spam for free ipods, free cell phones, etc. i can only assume that it's from the free whatever sites i whore my email out to.
I used a unique email address that was never used for anything else, and I have not received a single piece of spam email on it, ever.

Thats why you use a spam email account ;)
I own a few domains, so I can make up new "traceable" accounts at will. D

I created an e-mail account to use just for freeipods, and the only thing I've ever received are a confirmation e-mail from Gratis and one from Infone.

ok, did you get any real, not e-related, mail, from these people. Any Letters? AOL Discs? etc? Thanks

Sorry, I misunderstood!
I don't get much mail to begin with, I get Columbia House offers, but I've always gotten those. I get AOL discs on occasion, but none since I signed up. I haven't noticed any additional junkmail, snail or electronic, and I definitely haven't received any "spam" phone calls.
