BBB calls for iPhone droolers not to fall for free ads

According to the News & Observer, the Better Business Bureau has warned people not to succumb to the lure of ads promising a "free" iPhone:

On another note, the local branch of the Better Business Bureau is warning consumers not to fall for "free" iPhone advertisements. The new gadget from Apple is expected to be a big seller when it rolls out June 29. Scam artists know a good opportunity when they see it.

Many of the phony offers require people to purchase pricey merchandise, complete lengthy surveys or provide the e-mail addresses of at least 20 friends. Do you want the blame for a flood of spam? In some cases, after spending hundreds of dollars and wasting several hours, consumers don't receive the free "gifts."

That sounds very familiar.
