----THINGS TO REMEMBER----
* Only one person, per household and IP address (computer) is permitted to register.

*Referred friends must be unique with unique addresses.

*You cannot refer yourself, or anyone living with you.

*Enable & clear your browser's cookies before completing your offer to ensure it tracks properly.

*You can cross-refer (gain referrals worldwide).

*Do not spam/mass post when trying to get referrals online as you may get put on hold indefinitely.




----COMMON QUESTIONS----
Is this real?
*Definitely - I have personally received over £700 worth of freebies so far.


Really, genuinely real?
*FreebieJeebies (aka FJ) have given away thousands of pounds worth of free gifts. Click here http://www.exceem.co.uk/forums/i-got-my-free-item to see what other people are getting for free. Members of this freebie forum have collectively received over £215,000 worth of freebies.


How is this possible?
*Freebie sites earn a fee for every offer completed, this is enough to cover the cost of your free gift and make a profit.


The offer I chose says it's a free trial, why is it asking for my credit/debit card info?
*If it is a free trial, you are asked for these details simply to verify your age and identity (must be 18+ to complete particular offers) and for protection against fraud & abuse of the free trial. You WILL NEVER be charged for any free trial you take up. Also, only the offer companies such as Blockbusters or LOVEFiLM.com will require these details - the freebie company will never actually see any of this info.

How many people do I need to refer?
*This depends on the gift you choose. The more valuable the item, the more referrals will be required. For example, a smaller gift such an iPod shuffle requires only 2 referrals, whereas a larger gift such as a Nintendo DS lite requires 5 referrals.




----WARNING----
There are NO "hacked" links or leaked accounts. There is no way to bypass the need to get referrals, and no way to get instant referrals without actually referring anyone. Please do not fall for these scams floating around youtube. There are always 3 steps to receiving your gift - (1)Sign up (2)Complete one offer (3)Refer.

do u know if there's any spam mail?

[myusernamewastaken07]

There isn't any spam mail of any kind. Hope this helps.

where is the BBC watermark

[myusernamewastaken07]

Obviously there isn't one - I'm sure you can tell from the generation of iPods shown in the video that this report isn't exactly recent. This video (and a written article) used to be accessible on the BBC news website but hasn't been available since they updated. If you're doubting the authenticity of this report I suggest you do a google search or lookup Tom Carver on the BBC website - he's the reporter in this video and a BBC newsnight correspondent.

Does this only apply to people living in UK, US and Canada? What about others who live in Asia?

[myusernamewastaken07]

Hi, if you have a look at the vid description, you'll see I posted an update in June - FreebieJeebies is now available worldwide, so it's open to those in Asia too. :)
