RE: Free iPods, heh, no joke.
ok if its true.. Then where do they get the money!! I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND!!!! When we sign up we invite 5 people and we sign up for one advertisment... Then those 5 people get one advertisment and 5 people.. But at the end the company pays 250 dollars for each person joining... I dont understand how one advertisment makes them 250 dollars a person..

O.P. RE: Free iPods, heh, no joke.
No it's not. Not if you do the calculations and have an open mind. And it's not one sponsor, they have a few dozen of sponsers.
For starters, when signing up you are given the option to sign up for optional sponsers, there are about 20 I would guess. I clicked no for all of them. Then, there are the 7-8 sponsers from which you must choose one.
Every one of the five people you refer must also complete this entire process and successfully register with the sponsors. In general, it's quite hard to get your iPod, because not only you but also your 5 refered people must complete the whole process. Therefore, statistically, it's very advantagous to them. I'm betting they're making millions with this. Especially since it's been in the news and all. Check CNN if you want to know, or the TV show posted by CookieRevised, and the pictures shown by WDZ. They are independant and tried the normal customer way. It worked. Many people have received their iPod, if they hadn't it would be publicly known by now and all over the news & google. Check it if you're sceptical as I was.
Btw, you can be damn sure that this company had a huge discount from Apple, for buying the iPods in such a huge quantity.

RE: Free iPods, heh, no joke.
what the hell im signing up right now! I live in Canada but i think i can somehow get a friend of mine in the states to help me :D

EDIT: i just found that for all the sponsers, you have to pay to sign up, with the execption of GM card which requires a Social Security Number, i don't even think im old enough and it requires you to be in the states... There's no way i can get others to signup if they have to pay... :( O well i might as well pretend that it never existed and just use my 512MB MP3 player + usb flash drive

Actually, there are about 4 or so for which you don't have to pay a thing. You do need a credit card, because this is the way they work:
You register for a Free trying period. No charges whatsoever. You cancel after that trial, and you pay nothing, if you don't cancel, your credit card will be debited. So if you're clever, and you cancel in time, then you pay nothing at all..

And pipish.. ;/
Did you just not read the video and the pictures posted by WDZ or don't you believe them..?


Edit:
I updated the first post to include a link to a very good guide conscearning this and proof that it isn't a scam. I hope it helps everybody that still want to or already have signed up.
By the way, there are two more services like this, but you need to refer more people for them. Worth a try, I thought, and I added them as well here for you guys.

the only problem is that i don't have a credit card, and my parents' not going to sign up that's for sure

refer friends to join? they won't sign up once they see the credit card problem

I have a one question.   I know I would have to refer 5 people, and those five people would have to complete the survey and do that other thing concerning a credit card, BUT, if I want my ipod, do the 5 people I refered have to then refer 5 other people and have them do the same thing so I can get my IPod?

EDIT : once we are able to cancel it, how do we? I dont want to get any charges on the credit card.

you only need to refer to five people and get them to sign up for a sponsor, they do not HAVE to refer other people too (but that would be a stupid thing to do)
