I keep getting pestered by people I know to get iPods from various websites. Since I have three iPods at the moment (shuffle which i think no one should waste their money on, mini i got as a gift, video which i use), they call me greedy. Since I'm trying to get another iPod, they're telling me that I should give it to them for free/low price under 50 dollars.

Has this happened to you guys? /

This happens to me ALL the time.

From free greens to iPods, to a 3,000 dollar item.

Even 1,000,000.

I'm so sick of people bagging me to get them ipods. If they where willing to front the $80 or so to pay people than it would just be free TR for me. But of course they can't comprehend a "Free Ipod" actully costing money.

Yarly.

My brother-in-law doesn't believe me that any of this is legit (he changes his mind depending on what I receive) but still asks me to get him Flatscreens and iPods. He thinks I can get them overnight or something and isn't prepared to put the time or effort into getting them. roll

This one guy tried to get me to help him, he was pathetic.

First I tell him $50 because he's my friend

Then he goes "okay fine" but then wants to do it on his own so he gets me to let him borrow one of my Blingo Visa giftcards with like $10 on it left to do offers and stuff. I tell him how to do the stuff ("sign up, complete an offer, get 5 people to do the same, make sure cookies are enabled, etc.")

The noob goes on and signs up for Stamps, it credits, then he rushes to five friends' houses and like does Stamps over and over again with the most pathetic email= addresses ("Nanoistheshitiwant@something.com, email=iwantafreeipod@something.comiwantafreeipod@something.com addresses ("Nanoistheshitiwant@something.com, email=iwantafreeipod@something.comiwantafreeipod@something.com/email, email==omgthisshitnanosocool@something.comomgthisshitnanosocool@something.com=omgthisshitnanosocool@something.comomgthisshitnanosocool@something.com/email), doesn't get credited for like all but TWO of them, then tells ME that I have to "cancel it all" for him, followed by the fact that he owes me NOTHING.

Oh he got what was coming to him. Six $80 colleections claims from Stamps.com. One to his house, the others to his friends' houses. And guess who had to pay up? He did. HAH!

-well can you help me get one
-sure
-liI explain everythingli
-that seems too hard can you just do it for me?
-no

then I just walk away.

Would it be wrong to tell them if they sign up under me for free, then they can complete their own site and get one, without telling them that they can come here and get paid for refs?
