Sony Ericsson free phone offer
 

If anyone receives an email from someone that says you can get a free phone by forwarding the message to lots of other people ignore it.

I got caught just now, and got this email from Sony Ericsson:

Quote:

Dear sender, This message / promotion is not a genuine Sony Ericsson promotion. We suspect that the people behind this hoax virus/email campaign hope to obtain and misuse the personal data of those who participate. Please do not forward this promotion on. Kind regards Press Office Sony Ericsson

I thought it would be best to post this in here as more people are likely to see it, rather than in another section

Cheers for this. I had received the very same e-mail myself and had viewed it with a dregree of caution, so I will now delete it. Thanks.

Usual chain letter 'please forward this to EVERYONE you know' this wings its way to /dev/null on my box.

As in another post (earn money for doing nothing).....if it sounds too good to be true.....it usually is.

I normally see through it.

The thing that got me though was the 'cc' to someone at Sony Ericsson, which made me think that perhaps there was something to it.

My first thought though was 'yeah, right!'

Re: Sony Ericsson free phone offer
 

CC to someone and asking it to be sent to everyone looks liek a crude attempt to mail bomb someone. I seem to recall a similar thing a few months ago but it wasn't Sony who were on the receiving end.

I would hope that Sony would have the infrastructure in place to sequester the email address somewhere so that it doesn't impact on their servers - I got a reply quite swiftly from a no-reply address

Re: Sony Ericsson free phone offer
 

Aye they will its that /dev/null that I mentioned in my post :)
