Free Sony Ericsson Laptop Hoax
You may have already received a copy of the email hoax that promises a FREE Ericsson Laptop for simply forwarding the email to your friends.
This is a hoax that has been circulated over the Internet for many years. Sony Ericsson don’t give away laptops (it’s not how they make their money). And the model numbers mentioned in the email are actually that of discontinued mobile phones (as this hoax originated as a FREE mobile phone giveaway).
And to top it off there is a new version of this hoax email that now claims you can get a free Sony Vaio laptop by forwarding the email to 20 people.
The idea is to cause congestion to mail servers with all of the extra emails flying around and to waste people’s time in sending it.
Small things amuse small minds!
