Here is my story and I am ready to start a class action suit.
I have qualified for a free refrigerator from Elitebrandsfree. I sent in my w9 and my certificates. I have emailed them using their "contact us" email over 30 times with no response.
Does anyone what their phone number is or who they are affiliated with, or who the ceo or president of the company is? They are virtually impossible to contact and I have really tried. They answered a question for me before I completed the offers so I know which email address to use. I qualified for a 2000.00 Kenmore Elite refrigerator. I fulfilled all of their requests including having my referral verify her identification by sending in a copy of her credit card as well as her drivers license and a copy of the credit card bill that proved she joined the necessary sponsor offersd which was 6, the same amount of offers I fulfilled.
Here is a copy of an email sent to me and my referral:

Dear Carmela, (this is my referral.
Thank you for participating in EliteBrandsFree.com.
We are writing to inform you that your account is under investigation due to a violation of our Terms and Conditions. The specific term in question is the unique referral portion.
Please be assured that we are not making accusations, but due to information that has been brought to our attention, we would like to ask for your cooperation in this matter.
Before we can proceed to the final process in approving you and sending a refrigerator to the person that referred you to the site we will need to following information from you.
Through the US Mail or fax please send:

A copy of the latest utility bill confirming your name and address.
Please be sure that you include these two requirements. Your account will remain in a suspended status until we receive and verify your information.

"I have also forwarded this to the person that referred you so that she is aware of the investigation."
Now 1 month later their site requires 5 unique housholds as referal
They will not answer any of my emails. Please help a very tired consumer contact these people.
When I go to check my status I receive this message:
"Thank you for your interest in our offer EliteBrandsFree.com! Due to the limited time nature of the offer, your registration is now expired. Please see our Terms and Conditions for further information."
I sent in my w9 and my certificates as per Molly's request. I have a registered receipt from the post office signed by Joby Ruth from Elitebrandsfree. It is dated 4/10/06.
This is an email that "Molly" sent on 3/27/06:

I believe "I-dealrewards" is affiliated with Elitebrandsfree. They also have not fulfilled their obligations to their customers. I joined Elitebrandsfree in good faith. I completed all necessary offers and had my referral do the same and I have been cheated and scammed.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
