Probably not.
Supposedly the deal is that I sign up to getitfree.net and persuade five other people to do the same and I get a free iPod. As part of the sign up you need to take up one of a choice of offers which earns getitfree some commission. The easiest of these is eBay - create a brand new account and bid on something (just bid, no need to actually win the auction) and the requirements are fulfilled.
Which all seems pretty simple.
Presumably there is a monstrous catch, like a $500 shipping charge.
So help me to find out - sign up here: http://www.getitfree.net/xdrgzwccr and let's see what the scam is.

Hey Gerald,
I run getitfree.net, and came across your blog when I was searching Google.
There's no catch. Just get 5 of your friends to complete a sponsored offer (like the eBay one) and you'll get a free iPod. We cover the shipping & handling, so you won't have to pay anything.
The commissions we get on the sponsored offers cover the cost of sending people gifts.
Good luck with the iPod!
Thanks,
Steve
