Gone are those days when people used to say ‘there is nothing known as a free lunch’. If you are a serious music fanatic and cannot afford to buy a brand new iPod, then you do not have to worry anymore, as numerous sites these days offer free iPod as gifts or incentives. However, not all of these sites turn out to be authentic. Therefore, it is very important to make proper research before you sign up on any of these sites.

Most of the sites offering free iPods need you to fill up a small form in order to be eligible for the offer. These forms consist of your personal information. Unauthentic sites may misuse your personal details for their own benefits and therefore, signing up on such sites will cost you a lot.

The best way to find out the authenticity of the site is by looking out for its online reviews. If possible, also try to look out for some online testimonials of people, who had registered on these sites in the past. Apart from preventing you from opting for an unauthentic site, the reviews and testimonials can also help you in comparing numerous genuine sites that offer a free iPod. Compare at least five to six such sites.

Some of the websites require you to pay a specific amount in order to sign up. It will be wise to stay away from such websites. There have been instances in the past where some companies intending to launch a new product promised to distribute free iPods on filling up a simple online survey form. However, when it was time to keep the promises, they preferred to keep mum. Therefore, whenever you hear a company making such claims, make sure you first find out about the company’s past records. No doubt, getting a free iPod is possible, but only if you play safe.
