what's the scam with companies like this? i heard their offer on the radio today and it made me curious about the hook but i couldn't find anything really specific on what they want people to do for the free laptops by scanning through their terms and conditions. has anybody done this before?

And I quote....."and as a reward for trying their products and services, (some of which are being offered free through this website) you will be given your free Gift absolutley free".

Other words...most products and services ARE NOT absolutley free.....

Just like the free iPod crap- You have to sign up for 10 magazine subscriptions, or something like that...then hope you cancel them on time after the free trial.

well, if that's all it is, no biggie for a free laptop then. some of those lappys are relatively outdated now but it's not like they are ancient or anything. i might give it a try just to see what it's like.

I doubt you will ever get the laptop but if you do let us know how it works out.

I actually looked into one of those offers, and they required that you open one of their "affiliated" credit companies credit cards and carry a balance of $500 for 6 months... at almost 20% APR.

Nope. I'm not that desperate for a lappy.

Same here. A deal like this would have been worth getting a decade ago, when even the cheapest laptops cost thousands of dollars.

Free laptop, iPod, Canon 30D, XboX; scamola. A quick Google search will give you all the complaints you need.
