Ericsson/Nokia Phone Giveaway Hoax

April 2000:

Listed below is another giveaway hoax. Since there's a hoax letter that
is giving away Nokia phones, someone wrote one for Ericsson. Please see:

briefo.shtml.

----- Dear customer Our main competitor, Nokia, is giving free mobile
phones away on the Internet. Here at Ericsson we want to counter their
offer.  So we are giving our newest WAP-phones away as well. They are
specially developed for Internet happy customers who value cutting edge
technology.  By giving free phones away, we get valuable customer
feedback and a great Word-of-Mouth effect. All you have to do, is to
forward this message to 8 friends. After two weeks delivery time, you
will receive a Ericsson T18. If you forward it to 20 friends, you will
receive the brand new Ericsson R320 WAP-phone. Just remember to send a
copy to Anna.Swelund@ericsson.com
