    Any of you guys heard of http://freeitunesgift.com/ ?

    I guess it really doesn't hurt in trying it out, but was just wondering if any of you already tried it and if it works.

    Thank you.

    Yeah, I think it would be a great idea to give money to a website so they can 'give you it back' via PayPal.

    Just go for it, get screwed over and then learn from your mistake and not fall for these obviously false con-sites ever again.

    I've seen versions of this site that genuinely do work, in fact I've been getting a percentage of my money back for online-purchased goods for years now... but I've never seen one for apps. The way it works is the websites are on commission to sell you certain goods, so for each sale they make they earn money, and then pass on a percentage of that back to you. I don't know how it'd work if they're promising to give you back the full amount spent though... the majority of these things are cons so I'd find someone else to check it out first.

    Thank you for feedback. I found numerous other sites as well that have a similar proposition.

    Hmm.... :)

    Will wait for few days to see if I get more comments.

    I'll give it a shot. They haven't asked for any info that seems suspicious yet, so it might be legit. Just my email address and name.

    There are probably no AAA titles

    Not really much incentive there

    Wonder what the purpose or motive is

    Oh well could be cool, but I'll pass this up.

    I applied earlier today, and I haven't gotten anything yet. I can't see this being a scam if they actually give $2 to everyone who applies. If it is a scam though, I don't see what they're getting out of it, unless theres some catch they don't tell you about, and they rely on people who don't know any better. I'll keep you guys posted though.

    No, he's planning on recieving real money through an imaginary account. Top internet tip: they can't steal from you with just your email address.

    The most likely scenario, they are trying to scam the App Store rankings. Probably, hoping to get paid by shady developers to guarantee them a certain number of downloads to push them up the charts.
