FREE laptop

thought it was only fair to share this with you lot, and its not a scam, got it off Martins Money tips

just letting u all know if you have got kids from the age of 7 to 14 you can get a free laptop for your kids from the government ..phone number is 0333-200-1004 .you need to be in receipt of income support or jobseekers and getting child tax credits. i've already phoned to get 1 ..so get ringing guys its a FREE LAPTOP...x

when i had answered all the questions on the phone (automated service) i rang back and spoke to someone about it, what happens is they send you out an application form, you fill it in and send it off, within 3 weeks of them getting it back they will make a decision to see if you are entitled to one, they will then send you a card that you take down to Comet and exchange it for a laptop, you can't pick your own, its whichever one is specified

What questions do they ask?

Does this include 14 year olds?

Have you a link to the info about it?

on the automated service they ask you to press 1 if you have a child in certain school years, then if you get child tax credits then if the school is run by the government or if its private, can't remember owt else

It's not your free laptop it's your lads, now stop hogging it, hand it over to him or we'll report you.

it won't be anyone's free anything if it carries on being an arse, its for both of us ACTUALLY, its set up with parent and child accounts, so THERE

there are so many different safety controls on it i haven't a clue what i'm doing, its even blocked the dongle it came with for some strange reason

feel free to report whatever you want Less, here's the phone number you'll be needing 0333 200 1004
