Tough Time for Military Recruiters
3 Free songs from iTunes if you agree to be contacted by an Army National Guard Recruiter.
This ad has been seen making the rounds on the Internet.
A full size – readable screen shot is also available.
Not only is this ad in bad taste . . . the ad is asking potential recruits to enter their full name, address, phone number, birth date and other data on an non-secure form, a clear fraud and identity theft risk.
They even have the balls to ask you to refer a friend!
Digging into the “terms” of the offer results in some choice bits, including:
“Users must register by completing all required fields with valid, accurate information in order to receive iTunes®”
Does this mean that I have to stop using iTunes since I’m not in compliance with the Army National Guard terms? Does Apple know about this?
“Limit one (1) registration per person. Any attempt by any person to obtain more than the stated number of registrations by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that participant’s registrations and that participant may be disqualified from receiving iTunes.”
Notice that they are quite specific about not giving you more than three free songs from iTunes if you enter more than once . . . though you will likely receive multiple calls from recruiters.
