This is almost a guarantee of tons and tons of junk mail and telemarketers. They'll make 2-10x the cost of the DVD selling your "Guaranteed good" mailing address to direct marketers.
 
I signed up too, but doubt it's legit.

Oh well. It didn't ask for a phone number, and I didn't give my normal e-mail (I gave a Yahoo spam-account). So they can send me all the BS they want. I don't mind physical junk mail because I already get sooo much. 😉

agreed, this is not a hot deal unless you love spam not only in your email box but also in your home mail box...

<< after all that, all i get is:

Sorry, only one DVD per customer is allowed.

Thank you for visiting!

You could probably get around this by registering once with IE using your name (i.e. Joe Smith)... and then using netscape (since different cache) and using name like (Joseph Smith). Hope this helps.
 
filled it out...

hey.. juss gave it a try... and dun worry bout it..if ya get it..ya get it... if ya dont..oh well

Heh, I just gave them a fully false Email address. Nothing ventured, nothing gained ... don't care.

But if it shows up anyway, then... 🙂


Still would be nice to get a confirmation screen though...

 
They track they IP that you registered from.

Cleaned out cookies on my system and used entirely different data (e-mail, name, phone, addy) and it bitched about one per person.

Sending 10 references in will not cut it because 5 must respond.

After it goes through it says they are sending a confirmation email to the address you entered. In the email there is supposed to be a link you click to activate it. So if you used a fake email address, you aren't going to get a confirmation email to activate. I used a legit one and I didn't get a confirmation email anyways.
 
Does anyone know how to retrieve an email in hotmail? Unfortunately I used my hotmail account, but when I went to hotmail to get the confirmation email, it said i was idle for 30 days so it deactivated. Sad eh?🙁
 
Who ever not able to order more than one dvd...just go to temporary internet files in C:\windows or c:\document & settings depending on OS....look for Cookie:yourname@www.freepromos and just delete this file before submitting the form for second time,,,,
 


<< great deal gotta make up lots of email though >>



you could sign up for 6 diff hotmail/yahoo/etc accounts
and use a dialup account to get 6 different ips
and sign up the first guy plus the 5 others
then confirm first, and use the 5 others to sign up, and then confirm them

so you would get uhhhh 1+1+5=7 copies of whatever movie(s) you want... a lot of work, and a TON of spam coming your way though...

Hey,
I did this at lunch and already got the conformation email. Hope I get it though. Sounds spamish to me. If I start getting allot of spam mail from this I'll I'll I'll... We'll I'll just have to delete it. That'll show them. LOL

Thanks,
Tony 🙂😉🙁😱:disgust:😱🙁😉
 
hm.. asking for way too much and personal information (how does income relate to free dvd?).. just asking for more spam! no thanks, but thanks for the heads up!
 
They can ask for the length of my penis, and I'll tell them 16" - just because they ask for all kinds of invasive personal information doesn't mean you have to tell the truth beyond your address and maybe your name. (That's circumference by the way).
