You buy antenna boosters and you pick the free gift you want say a free ipod mini and you in a queue for one.

This just seems a bit fishy but alot of people have received their items and i saw this website when i was browsing at trademe.

An antenna which you can buy of them is $40US for 2.Now an ipod mini is around $500.you can also get other free gifts like sony p910i,Free sony ericsson S700i free sony laptops etc.

It just seems to good to be true but seems safe.IF they do offer this kind of deal.Where do they get all their money to send free stuff to people?

Does it seems strange to u?

325355 2005-02-15 16:18:00 Very Strange.
I work on the assumption that there's no such thing as a free anything so there must be a catch there somewhere.
I suppose you would pay for your booster by credit card. That could be the catch.

Just Advertising, you have to buy one of their cellphone boosters for $USD 40.

They get the money by selling "boosters" that probably cost a few cents for $40. The boosters don't work, they are a scam.
