Free Iphone Websites - REAL or SCAMS?

(I know there is general iphone thread below but nobody seems to be posting much it anymore so I thought I'd start a new one).

I have come across several site like (Mod: Removed, don't want to promote this stuff.) and (Mod: Removed, don't want to promote this stuff.) where the idea is you subscibe to a free trial of a website, tell your friends about it and then they send you a free iphone. Spose there can't be anything to lose if they don't send it cause some of the website that you get to choose from are free to subscribe to.Is this a scam or is it for real?

does the fine print require you to be a US citizen though? Most of these types of ~~scams~~ offers do.

The first site requires you to sign up for a trial (meaning you need to supply your credit card).

The second site is a US site and in the terms and conditions it says it no longer sends phones to Florida, so i don't like your chances of getting one here.

Just buy one. Those sites are engineered to be such a painful experience that you'll need to sell out your friends to get anything. The exchange rate is great so just pay for it.

They make it sound so easy but if all you have to do is sign up for something and refer 8 friends and they give you a free iphone then surely alarm bells are ringing in your head. What would they stand to gain from this? How are they getting enough revenue from getting 8 email addreses that they can afford to buy a iphone and send it to you? They obviously aren't so the whole thing is clearly dodgy, and comments like this "The only thing I'm sure is that you'll receive your free iPhone in the mail within one or two weeks." are enough to set bells ringing as well. Basically saying "I don't know how this crazy thing works, but I promise it does, come on, you can trust me, I'm an anonymous person on the internet".

Conclusion: Scam.

The first site all you need to (supposedly) do is sign up to several 7 day free trials. It just seems to good to be true so I think i'll leave it alone.

No more promos about this. Less effort and less damaging to your friends if you just go out and buy one. Anyone linking to affiliate promos or the like will get a quick ban. If you want to pay to advertise, then do that. Otherwise, I don't want a spam free-for-all on here.

Sorry Isaac. I just wanted to know about it, didn't mean to be a pain.

No, that's OK - it's worth asking. I'm just saying that I think your best bet is to save up a bit of money and buy one. Those sites "work" because it is very, very, very hard to get the "free" iPhone and you have to sell-out friends to marketing scams and/or give up your credit card to a bunch of services that you might forget to cancel. Everyone signs up, the vast majority give up, and they win.
