Here's the problem.

My parents get suspcious what i';m doing online that I get so much freebies and money.. They think I'm doing something illegal... Pshhtt whatever.


Anyways. I haven't done much freebies, but a xboix 360 got them suspcious. Now I have a $550 and a $350 check coming in next week.


How can I tell what I'm doing to my parents? They'll never belive I'm getting free stuff..

Any Advise? Any advise would be useful.

I talked with my mom about it and she thinks it's illegal and she doesn't want ot go to jail for it! (makes NO sence) Soooo..I'm trying to complete a Non Credit Card site so I can convince her to let me do a regular site. She also thinks that it is a scam and I will never get anything. (even though I showed her proof) Once I prove her wrong I will laugh and continue making money faster and easier thatn she is! D

Just tell her you will stop and check the mail before they get home. Get your grandma/pa to bring you to the bank to get it cashed. My 86 year old grandma understands it better than my mom......

------or-----
Write down all the facts available that prove these sites ARE legal and sit there and explain it to them. (thats what I'm going to do when I get my Visa perpaid)

Hope you have luck with your parents.

My parents thought it was illegal, too. So they made me quit. I tried to explain sooo many times, no luck. They kept saying that I had to stop. I couldn't convince them, and now I am out of the freebie scene. Oh well, I got $2k worth of free stuff.

I guess the worst case scenario is that your parents call the cops on you, which happened to Zags (A4F Mod), but nothing really happened to him.

my dad still thinks that there is a chance that it is illegal, but he lets me do it, because i'm legally old enough... he sort of believes me just because I have so much free shit, but I remember the day I told him I was doing offers for a Plasma, he told me I was an idiot and I would never get it and I was wasting my time... I told him to wait and see, because 4 months i'd have a plasma... and sure enough, by 4 months, I had 4 ibooks, a Plasma 2K check, and others... showed him what the fuck was up... talk about pwned...

JustBlaze786

But What about my $550 check! NO!!!!! and my $350 (

I even showed her a freaking TV interview thingie for a free ipod site! Still no go. Like I said..it's my grandma's PAyPal and ebay account and my Grandma's house that the freebies ship too ;)

Soooo pyramid scams are no longer illegal. That is what my mom thinks these are.

I'm just gonna keep it on the low until I start getting into the "real" freebies (I need my PrePaid for Trainn)Then one day be like "Mom, check out these iPods! And this $500 check, oh and don't forget the Mac Mini" (i'm dreaming)

just show them the forum and explain to them you are merely participating in legal promotions on your own free will.

show them the CNN video from gratis so they know it is legal, then show them the forums again and say i'm just really good at it.

25-06-2006 00:24:15

mine just kind of shrug it off but are still skeptical even after the free stuff i've got. they're more worried about charges to the CC than anything even though i use my own debit card for offers. they cant really grasp the fact that these sites are so easy and cheap to do.. they always warn me that i better not be charged for the stuff. its pretty hard to explain to both parents and friends because they always think there is a catch or its not possible.

Everyone stop posting P

Otherwise i have to keep replying to those posts before i can start my storie!!!

samz465

25-06-2006 01:17:45

kk ...
Well my first site ever was free360xbox.com

I got 10 refs...I did em all on refstop through the trade system..
All was well. I used a prepaid mall card for thhe offers and traded for all the easy sites.

I kep telling everyone Im gettin a free xbox...No one believed me.
This was last MAY/JUNE. Unfortunatly they put me on hold 1 month after processing...I made two accnts on freeipods.com =(.
Oh well..I get started again on OCs
shuffle site..
I traded for that, and got one friend to do the last ref.

Anyway..About 3 weeks later, I pwn my whole family, and they see i got my shuffle!!

So I get smarter, I start getting friends to do me referrals..
So it was very easy..
I started doing trainn, and a whole bunch of sites (check my list in my profile, its in chrono order from when i recieved) My parents would ask...And tell me to stop b/c they thought it was illegal..But i explained it to my sister,and how the business model works...She told my parents it was ok, and thats all they pretty much needed to know.

At first it was hard..I kinda kept it a secret...But now that they know..its SOO much better.

And i got my paypal debit card too, so i use alot of paypal..
I wnt to the bank with my mom and dad and opened a savings accnt (custodian) and hooked it up to paypal..
custodian i believe, doenst have an age limit.

Anyway..
Im pretty much lovin free stuff now, im SOOO much happier that my parents know i do free sites though, It lets me at ease, b/c i can get PHYSICAL items instead of cash...
Like alot of the money i got i spent on abercrombie, (lol i changed my WHOLE wardrobe up) a new computer, i got an lcd for the computer, a sound system, more clothes..., games, a memory stick for my psp, a camera...and a bunch of other stuff...And FOOOOOD!

I also have a brother who is 25, he was a bit sceptic...But he doesnt care. My moms like "dont u care how he gets free things". And he goes "who cares as long as he's gettin it" lmaoooo.

I basically broke the WHOLE thing down, as to how the companies make $$...Spend a good hour or two about how it works...Theyll either be like

" 0_o. ok son " and just let you do your thing...or actually understand and let you do the sites.

and i HATE when she says "concentrate on school" b/c im gettin straight A's ...

Yeah I am getting the shit about my grades too. I am top 10% of my class, and I have received a book award and all this jazz and my parents tell me I am gonna mess up my grades. I had straight A's too. Parents sometimes are overprotective. Well, I told my dad I'll get him a plasma and he's like ok son do whatever the hell you want just get me the plasma. I am like mom they have free diamond rings. She is like ok son, you can do free sites now wink
So basically I am bribing them, but they will never get what they want. I think I will tell them I won a macbook pro contest, then I'll use this free site money I have been getting to buy one. D You just have to outsmart them that's all. Oh yeah and I almost forget, my parents don't even know how to use a computer. I told them I will start teaching them this year because next summer I am off to college. They have to know a little. I don't even think they know I have a paypal debit card, let alone an account. My dad's more cool about this stuff but my mom freaks out about me getting a bill later on or going to jail. After I have told them about what you can get for free it's all cool. Yeah. I did try that explaining the process route, but that didn't work out quite well. At least I got them letting me do it now though.
