iPod This is too good to be true. Scam?

Some of my emails have Chase in them. I wonder if he will notice.

We should make emails that are exactly the same.
An example (I'll just use mine),

ipod_wii_92(1)@yahoo.com
ipod_wii_92(2)@yahoo.com
ipod_wii_92(3)@yahoo.com
ipod_wii_92(4)@yahoo.com
Ect, ect.
 
This feels wrong, but I gave it a shot to see if they'll actually respond. 🙂

But what if they're actually stealing the money from credit cards to buy the iTunes gift cards as someone mentioned earlier?

I'm not going to use the money i got for awhile. Maybe wait a week or two, see if anything happens. I already removed the CC info from my account, and changed the Address 😱.

I would not like to get in trouble, but I guess I cant(maybe).

Just put anything that sounds like a proper name lol. I've just been using my friends names.

Lol. I just used my @live.com account and for the name I put Marie Jacobs. That's nowhere near my real name.
We should but the names of our enemies.
 
Surely it's just best to put your real name and go with the "I was just given a promo code, I didn't know it was fraudulent" line of argument? If you put fake details and Apple look at your IP adress and see your other account - surely they are going to think something is up? Especially if you are connecting the same iPod to the account...
 
I just received a free $10 code. This actually works! 🙂

But it really doesn't feel right. Should I go ahead and redeem the code?

It turns out you need a US iTunes account to redeem the code, but I don't live in the US. I know there's a way to make a US iTunes account, but wouldn't that violate Apple's terms of service?
 
This thread gets nary a peep, but mention a torrent in a thread and everyone gets out their morals stick to beat you with.

I don't understand. Oh well.

Because Apple and the record company aren't loosing anything, the $10 is coming from somewhere.

I don't think anybody used the same email more than once.
And it took about a few hours for my second reply, don't remember the first but it wasn't over an hour.
