Ericsson ‘Free Laptop’ Hoax
Got this “Free Laptop” email, it smelled like a chain letter, so I looked up Urban Legends, and sure enough, it was a hoax that has been around since 2/2007.

The Ericsson Company is distributing free computer lap-tops in an attempt to match Nokia that has already done so. Ericsson hopes to increase its popularity this way. For this reason, they are giving away the new WAP Laptops. All you need to qualify is to send this mail to 8 people you know. Within 2 weeks, you will receive Ericsson T18. But if you can send it to 20 people or more, you will receive Ericsson R320. There are people within our building who have received their laptops so I thought I would share this info with you in hopes that you get one before they give them all out!
