An email which has been circulating at the moment offering a free Sony Ericsson mobile as a word of mouth marketing campaign has been confirmed to be a hoax.
The email reads: “Sony Ericsson is giving away phones for free. Sony Ericsson is trying word-of-mouth advertising to introduce its product and the reward you receive for advertising for them is a free phone free of cost. To receive your free phone all you have to do is to send this email out to 8 people (for a free Sony Erricsson j200i) or 20 people (for a free Sony Ericsson k400i WAP).
“Within 2 weeks you will receive a free phone. (They will contact you through your e-mail address).

Sony Ericsson spokesperson Samantha Goodman confirmed today that unfortunately it is not a legitimate offer from the company and that Sony Ericsson will issue an official release regarding the matter tomorrow.
