26 May 2009 - If it looks to good to be true - remember, it is
Find me one example of a genuine it looked to good to be true, but it really was true - how often do you hear that?

These days its just over the top the crap you get on email.

I received the image below by email recently, and the person who sent it said "you just never know".  I must say, I thought hang on, hmmm.. But then my "if its too good to be true" radar kicked straight in.

I've spoken to Sony Ericsson, who said the following:

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. Any customer concerned by these events should contact Sony Ericsson directly on 1300 650 050 where a customer service representative will be able to help.

So, there you go, please tell your friends its a hoax!
