Sony review: lucky number 89

These messages are sending by fuc** nigerian people. This all is 100 % Fraud so please dont give any information to them, Once u will give them Address then they will play another game by sending something by post mail...or may be some thing dangerous, keep ignoring them, this ALL ARE FAKE...Thanx

i received an sms today stating that i am the winner of 250000 pounds from sony ericsson, london and upon mailing them i was asked to send them my confirmation details. i doubted if the whole thing was a hoax and decided to google the topic and came across this website where i found so many similar issues. now i really think the whole thing is a hoax and i think sony ericsson should take action against these fraudsters as people are taken in by the company name 'sony ericsson' and seeing that this has been going on for nearly an year, its high time they did something

Someone or some people are desperately in need of money to send international sms - es all over the world...
instead of being annoyed about the fake sms, i pity them.. LOL
they even had a spelling error on the sms, they should really watch out for their punctuation, grammar and spelling.. hahahaha
i mean they should at least mind the writing.. if SONY ERICSSON was really holding a promotion, they wouldn't make such stupid errors.. :)

I have also received a sms on my mobile number i just got it a week ago and i called the number which sent me the sms the msg said that i won 5000, 000 pounds on the SONY ERICSSON MOBILE PROMO and the guy told me to sent an email providing them my address name and they will send me an email letting me what to do is it true please provide me with an answer

i too received a message that i won 500000 gbp.
I contacted them, they said that it is true.
I made the transfer of 1600 gbp and i am waiting for my cheque.

It must be a hoax since I don't even own a Sony Ericsson and don't even remember taking part in any lucky draw etc.

Plus the contact email gives everything away: contact@uksonyericsson.co.uk

There shouldn't be a uk in front of sonyericsson and it would end with .com and not .co

### All This Its jsut Joking Don't Care About That it's perfect Joking and i say to all of You guys don't miss your time about this things i try it money time that and i completed all Ducoment which they need for that but up to now i naver Got any thing form that

if you want to loss and miss your time than ok if you don't want to that than don't care about this
I hope you will be know about that well

Thanks For Reading of This Message

im from republic of macedonia and they send me mesagee hes say you won 500000pounds i like to now is this true

To all Receipients of the SONY ERICSSON PROMO, PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND and waste your time to these money hungry mfs. No promotion will ask you to pay to recieve your prize. Its is all a clever scheem set to take your money. If u decide to belive a man/woman on a phone call and a simple email after reading all these measages from the "lucky winners" above then you dont deserve your money and should sent it to me instead.! PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND! to the SONY ERICSSON PROMO

The first question to ask yourself is "How did they get my mobile number?" The second question should be "Why do I have to pay a transfer fee if I won all that money?"...Why can't they deduct the transfer fee from the winning amount?" It would be really nice if I had actually won the 500, 000 pounds they said I did. Look at the example of lottery companies, national or international...if you won the lottery, any fees that would be incurred from you winning that money is automatically deducted, before you take home your winnings. In the same vein, why would a a multi-conglomerate company internationally known, making billions of dollars, pounds, or any other currency you can think of in profit every year, need to get 1650, or 1450 or whatever amount they are asking you for in order to pay out your winnings? Did you fill out a form when you bought the phone for some kind of promotional game...NO.! Think about it, even if its something simple as a raffle, or some charitable event that you went to that has a door prize, you would have entered by either filling out a form or including your name on a form, or if its a ticket you bought, when you enter the event, they would give you back the stub, so that if your number does call, you have some kind of reference to prove that you entered the promotional game in the first place. Come on people wake up, this is too good to be true with no participation whatsoever except purchasing a phone...with a receipt that you probably threw away already.

In my case I'm absolutely convinced that its a fraud with a capital FRAUD! Why you might ask? Firstly my brother bought my phone from some guy who had several (possibly hot) phones he was trying to sell. Secondly, that was over 4 years ago. I didn't even use it while I was in the UK because I had to get it unlocked. The phone was sooo new that most of the stores I went to didn't have the software as yet to unlock it. So I didn't actually get to use my phone until almost 6 months after I bought it, and by then I was in another country using a completely differnt area code number. So what utter BS is sony ericsson or whoever these people are pretending to be, to tell me that I won 500, 000 pounds in some international promotion! Another good point to note would be that before I got this phone I had an older sony ericsson phone, which I did use in the UK. Now if I won the money from that phone number that is no longer active, it would mean that they would have gone back at least 7 years in order to pull my phone number in their drawing...again this is utter BS. People this is a FRAUD, do not send any money to them. If sony ericsson hasn't confirmed or denied this claim, then its because they didn't send it in the first place.

hello, i must say that i too recieved a sms text message from sony ericsson stating that i won 250, 000.00 pounds! they stated that i should email sonyericsson01@live.com for claims, the telephone # given is +[protected], i live in the island of trinidad and tobago, and my cell phone is a samsung, how they got my number, i really don't know, all i would like to know is ... IS THIS FOR REAL?

Is anyone in charge going to answer all these questions? this is what i would like to know! from Trinidad.

i'm from trinidad and i got the text to, , , it is a hoax i saw on the tv that its a bunch of guys from some where in africa some living in the uk scamming people just like the so call lottery they mail you, , , the lottery board said once u win money from a real promo u are not suppose to give any amount of money just recieve the winnings think about it when a person wins money for example the lottery they do not ask for money to give money they just go and collect it, , , , , , , , , , and how are they able to get our cell numbers, , , , , , , , please do not give these people your hard earn cash it is fake and they will take all your money

I've received too this messages in my phone in Kosovo, "Congrulations! You ahve Won 350.000.00 Pounds in the London Sony Ericsson Promo. For claims Call +[protected] and send email to: sonyericsonfirm@london.com". So, course that I dont beleive in this message but I think that this is bad reputitaion for Sony Ericsson and they should do something.

Hello, sorry for the barrier,
I called Lulzim Lushtaku, the company has sent you a message on the phone,
to date, with 24 in 2007, 2010, and said congratulations you are a winner of 350, 000, 00. pounds
the Sony Ericson promo,
and you asked me to contact you, I've contacted by a man called David Keith, he told me to fill a form, and after that it should have filed first, he said that two mobile and card with at lot of money has entered into a package and sent DHL, for my sent to Kosovo, I contacted the DHL

We received an sms on our Nokia in New Zealand with an almost exact letter via email dated 7th November 2010 as that shown above except that ours had slightly different 'phone numbers and a photograph of Kristian Tear the Executive Vice President Head of Sales and Marketing attached. A little 'Googling' and we find that this is a real person holding this position at Sony!. Quite a sophisitcated scam isn't it?. If it were not for the fact that some of the grammar is a bit skewed and the email had all the hallmarks of i.d. theft and/or a fraud of some sort we might have fallen for it too. The majority of people need money. This scam plays to their desperation. [censor]!.

We have also received an SMS from them, that we won money from Sony Ericsson. Is it a lie? I don't know what I should do... All the information is requested from me. And the name who I have to call after I sent everything is Kristian Tear.

Dear, Sony Ericsson

I am has received the SMS from +[protected] I have won 500, 000 Euro, Pounds in the ongoing sony ericsson mobile awarded. pleaes reply this it true?..please advice on my email suteekummee@yahoo.com

Thank Sony Ericsson

Hi, my name is Vidya and I got the same message on 5-03-11.I just checke out this in internet and found all these comments.Can you please give me advise regarding what to do.is it just a fraud message.My mail id is vshaiju@yahoo.in.Please send me advise regarding what to do All these complaints posted in 2008 and 2009.Has anybody got the prize amount

"Sony Ericsson Promo '"surfaces its ugly head again, in 2011. I just got a sms message in "Trinidad - West Indies" advising of my winning number and asking for info. Be mindful, read the forms carefully they are riddled with spelling and gramatical errors, a large company with a bonafied promo would never print documents with errors. Check the telephone directory for the correct Sony Ericsson number, is it the same?

ITS ANDON'T DO IT... THEY JUST CALLED ME AND WERE SO RUDE BECAUSE I SAID THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOAX. AND IT IS, ... IF YOU DO IT YOUR EXTREMELY NAIVE AND STUPID ... THEY ARE AN INDIAN/ AFRICAN COMPANY THERE NOT FROM THE UK. ... THERE CHARGING YOU A FEE ! AND NOT GIVING YOU ANY MONEY... LIKE SERIOUSLY YOUR PRETTY PATHETIC TO GO AHEAD WITH IT ------------------------------ IDENTITY THEFT!

ITS AN IDENTITY THEFT DON'T DO IT... THEY JUST CALLED ME AND WERE SO RUDE BECAUSE I SAID THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOAX. AND IT IS, ... IF YOU DO IT YOUR EXTREMELY NAIVE AND STUPID ... THEY ARE AN INDIAN/ AFRICAN COMPANY THERE NOT FROM THE UK. ... THERE CHARGING YOU A FEE ! AND NOT GIVING YOU ANY MONEY... LIKE SERIOUSLY YOUR PRETTY PATHETIC TO GO AHEAD WITH IT ------------------------------ IDENTITY THEFT!

I have also got an sms I am in Australia and they said I have won 699, 000 pounds no company could be giving away this much, if you add us all up we would bankrupt the company, some sicko trying to suck you dry and steal your Identity.

It looks like the hoaxers are still trying it on. I received a text which runs like this, 'REF No SW2E Your cell no. has won £500, 000 pounds in the ongoing soneyericsson mobile promo awardeds. for claims send email to: sonyericsson-inc@europe.com'
The misspelling of the word awards was the first thing I notice, and got me to look up the hoax on the Internet.

yes don't believe the message, I have got an exactly the same sms as upstairs. From a UK number which is +[protected]. the original message as below:
(REF NO SW2E)
YOUR CELL NO. HAS WON £500, 000 POUNDS IN THE ONGOING SONYERICSSON MOBILE PROMO AWARDEDS. FOR CLAIMS SEND EMAIL TO: sonyericsson-inc@europe.com
except of the wrong spelling of the 'awards' to an 'awardeds'
the other one is, how does the different awards gets the same reference number?
so it's totally FAKE...

i got the same message too from +[protected]. I am in Barbados. When I called to inquire the gentleman who was clearly not british, was rude when I mentioned that I thought it was a hoax. He claimed that it was all legitimate and the people on the internet were just saying it was fake because they did not win the money. he said his name was Kristian Tear and the lady was Yvonne Taylor. Now reading these comments I am sure that it is a SCAM... so everyone beware and don't be fooled . If I wasn't such a sceptic I would have been sucked in too. I just wonder what happens to those gullible people who may be so desperate for money that they follow through with it. Do they actually ask you for money to send the cheque? WOW... the nerve. What is the real sony ericsson doing about this. That is what I want to know?
