October 21st: I have heard reports of users of the site recieving their iPod and some saying it was a scam. If you have not seen it before, FreeiPods.com is a website run by a marketing company that also runs sites giving away free flat panel TVs, and other home electronics. They state, if you complete a promotional offer through their site, sign up for BMG music, eBay, Blockbuster and refer five friends that also complete an offer, then you recieve a regular size iPod, iPod mini or $250 on the iTunes Music Store.
This is great, but it makes me wonder how they pay for this. There is no way you and five friends (6 total) signing up for a service will pay for an iPod. Perhaps, they rely on the fact that not all five friends will get five friends to sign up, so although you will get an iPod, they might not, but at least freeiPods got a kick-back. Either way, it seems like a great deal.
MPG has signed up and gotten five friends and completed the offer. Now we just wait, but the site has been featured in many online and print news mediums and is supposedly legitimate. We will see, but for now, you can always give it a shot. As soon as you get five friends, you can then complete the promotional sign up.
