Hoax Competition Email
12 May 2009
Sony Ericsson has been made aware of an online email campaign claiming that Ericsson will give away a free laptop computer to users who forward the promotional information. The same campaign includes a photograph of the Sony Ericsson logo and mentions an Ericsson contact name and email number.
Sony Ericsson confirms that this email campaign is a hoax. In addition, Sony Ericsson confirms that the Ericsson contact name does not exist.
All competitions and promotions involving Sony Ericsson are run through official channels such as Sony Ericsson’s website or Sony Ericsson’s partners’ websites. Please be wary of any competition or promotion that appears to come from outside of Sony Ericsson or Sony Ericsson’s partners official channels. Examples of these include via spam emails or SMS.
Please do not reply to or forward the email if you receive it.

The first time I received this email, I call the contact number and was allowed to leave a message. I emailed Anna Swelung and got no reply or bounce back of my email. I feel Sony Ericsson should have a disclaimer circulating also and a public advertisement advising all of the hoax.
Is it really a hoax or Sony Ericsson’s intended propoganda by circulating such emails and posting disclaimer afterwards, i think the brand is having troubles in competiting with other laptop giants. Effective but very immature effort.
