seems like a scam to me, they say if you sign up 5 people you get a free $300 iPod.
why would people waste so much time doing this?

I just find it funny that Sambeckett posted about this "scam" by making sure his link included the referer id ( http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=xxxxxxx) which is how each person is credited with signups.
So, either that referer id is sambeckett's id and he's hoping people will click his link and sign up, thereby giving him the necessary signups he needs for his free ipod or it's someone else's referer id and sambeckett just helped them get whoever clicked on it and signed up.
Here's a reduced screenshot of the referer page you get to after going through their survey. It shows the referer link at the bottom.
Pretty clever to post asking if something is a scam and asking why people would waste time on it to get people to click the link. If that's what he did.
Either way i think the referer id needs to be removed from the link.
