Here is a place that you can get a free iPod. All you have to do is sign up, complete the offer and have 5 people join under you. I have read a lot of articles including ones from Wired Magazine and CNN about how legit it is. The best thing is that you can truly get it for free.

Then register and fill out the information (use a hotmail type e-mail address), select the iPod you want, then complete one of the offers. There are 2 that I have seen so far that you can do without any money. For both you do need to use a credit card. One is Blockbuster Online which you can cancel as soon as you join. The other is Infone which you don't need to cancel as long as you don't use it.
Just make sure that you complete the offer, otherwise you have no chance of getting one.
