free phone from the knot/nest/bump?

Did anyone else get this e-mail?

Am I the only one that thinks it's a little odd?

Hmm, I didn't get one.  What does it say?

Here's the link that the e-mail takes you to:

For the life of me, I can't remember where I got an offer like this (it may have been from an airline), and I did some research on it.  The company that this goes through sounded pretty bad.  I wish I could remember more info, but if you google InPhonic or Simplexity, you can find it.

Yes, I agree that it's weird.  The knot/nest/bump gets a commission for every phone that is sold through their offer, so I guess it's just another way to try to make money.
