Is This A Scam?

fluffyscruffy

Hi I received an e mail recently, wonder if anyone else has received it and whether or not its some sort of scam?
Sony Erricsson is giving away phones for free. Sony Erricsson 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 Erricsson k400i WAP).

Within 2 weeks you will receive a free phone. (They will contact you through your e-mail address).

Not a scam as such, but an obvious hoax. See question 5 on Ericsson's FAQ page.

It is a hoax, you can tell by the mis-spelling of Ericsson in the email address
