Just two more people...

[robotech_master]

Well, after months and months of trying, I still only have six out of the eight referrals I need to get my free flatscreen TV.

For folks who may not know what's going on, this is a site where you sign up, complete a "free trial offer" (may or may not be entirely free; may or may not require a credit card), and then get a number of your friends to do the same; once that's been done, they send you the freebie. It's legit, it works, I got a 20 gig iPod from these people. Here's a journal entry I wrote going into detail about the plan more fully.

But in order to get that brand new 27" Sony WEGA color TV, I just need two more people to complete the referral. I have about a zillion people who've signed up, but only six have completed the offer.

It's maddening to be this close and yet so far away. Anyone out there want to try for a free TV set of your own? Click the "free flatscreen TV" link above and help me out, here. :)

My guess is, if you're stalling out on referrals, that this particular ponzi has saturated.

Looks like you hit the horizontal barrier inherent in ALL pyramid schemes. No matter how benign they seem to be, only a few win while many lose. To wit, look at how much effort you've put into trying to get "just" 8 completions. You say it is legal and perhaps it is, but that is only because these scammers don't use the US Postal Service (thus avoiding postal fraud regulations) and nobody has lost sufficient money to attract the attention of federal auditors.

I do hope you manage to win out in the end, if only to get something for your effort, but I won't be signing up. Face it: you've spent months trying to collect 8 referrals and you've hit the floor. I see my chances of doing better being somewhere around nil.
