Free Laptop from Ericsson?

    这两天接连收到几封同样内容的转发邮件，内容是说Ericsson送笔记本。第一感觉就是不太可能，Ericsson不是做手机么？什么时候开始送笔记本呢？你要说Sony我还可能会觉得可靠那么一点。邮件中有一张图片，内容是

Ericsson are distributing free laptops for their brand promotion.

They hope to increase their popularity and sale by this campaign.

All you need to do is send an email about this to 8 people and you will receive an Ericsson T18 Laptop.
However, if you send an email about this to 20 or more people, you will receive an Ericsson R320 Laptop.

Make sure you send a copy to: anna.swelung@ericsson.com

    真有这种好事？这也太假了点吧。转发一封邮件就能得到一台笔记本？小日本也不会这么傻吧。我想了一下，难道是邮件中Email的主人想收集email地址，然后发垃圾邮件？我也只能想到这个了。google了一下，果然有所发现，呵呵。

The above-quoted jape is yet another version of a long-running Internet hoax that has been circulating in one form or another since 1997.

Ericsson made no such offer, the e-mail address provided was bogus, and the company employed no one by the name of “Anna Swelund.”

    这是一封从1997年便开始传播的恶作剧邮件，内容当然不是真实的。邮件中所提到的邮件地址从一开始就是伪造的。还有网友指出了，邮件中的T18和R320其实是Ericsson的手机型号，早已停产。

   对于这类垃圾邮件，朋友们在转发之前还是多考虑一下吧~ 呵呵~
