Hi everyone,

I’m back blogging, but however, this time, i got an interesting piece of article to share, since i just gotten a email hoax that is being forwarded to me.

This was the email:

sony-ericsson-laptop-hoax

Then i was wondering, when did ERICSSON started producing laptops? omg. and SONY bought over ERICSSON long time ago, so after which, started google-ling, and found out these articles.

This press release from ERICSSON will confirm that, this is totally bullshit and its a hoax/scam to trick gullible people: Heres the official word from Ericsson : http://www.ericsson.com/ca/hoax.shtml

1. I couldn’t believe how gullible people are. In these day and age, who would give away anything for free.

2. Sony Ericsson only manufactures mobile phones.

3. Ericsson T18 and Ericsson R320 are older models that have now been discontinued, which are mobile phones and not laptops.

3. Chain letters are a technique used by spammers to gather email addresses. Every time you forward this email to your friends, your email address and theirs is getting added to the main text of this email that will eventually get in the hands of hundreds of people you don’t even know. Eventually, you’ll receive more spam emails just like the Ericsson T18 laptop scam.

Before getting your hopes up and before forwarding this kind of junk, it’s so easy to find out the truth by simply searching on search engines. It only takes 30 seconds. Please just use your friendly piece of tool, called the google search engine.
