Free ipod/laptop/flatscreen tv etc..........

Hello!

Ive come across a website that supposedly offers a free ipod/laptop/tv etc if you sign up to a free trial and get some of your friends to do the same. I know it sounds like another scam, but there's a clip of BBC's Newsnight program on the website that suggests its not.
Site address is www.getyourmobile.tk
I just wondered whether anybody had used one of these sites before, it seems a bit too good to be true, which usually means its a scam:confused:
