are we all here to be so selfish that we replace deception with truth? How would you feel if you gave someone a referral based on the belief that you could get an apple ipod for 1600 points and only after you gave somebody a great gift you found that they duped you. Sure you can get a 1 gig ipod shuffel for 1650 points but that's not what you had in mind. If it was me, I would be really upset with the person who referred me and I probably wouldn't participate in any other online offers.
Being a truthful advertiser benefits everyone in the referral business on both the receiving and giving end. Being a truthful person - WOAH, the benefits are countless.
