Today I received an email from a friend of mine saying that Sony is giving away a free Ericsson Laptop to those that send the same email to 8 or more of their contacts.

I have received like 20 emails from several friends about this!

This is the email :

If you notice something fishy or to good to be truth… then maybe it is.

You see, this is what people call a HOAX.

What is a HOAX?

A hoax (According to Wikipedia) is a deliberate attempt to dupe, deceive or trick an audience into believing, or accepting, that something is real, when the hoaxster knows it is not; or that something is true, when it is false. In an instance of a hoax, an object, or event, is not what it appears to be, or what it is claimed to be – for example, “snake oil,” which was sold by 19th century traveling salesman in the United States as a cure-all. A hoax differs from a magic show in that the audience is unaware of being deceived – whereas in watching a magician perform a magical act, the audience expects to be tricked.

If you analyze the email you see that they are giving away a free Ericsson T18 Laptop and also a Ericsson R320 Laptop… Hum!  Never heard of those laptops before.  Is it that those aren’t names of Laptops but names of Mobile Devices from Ericsson?  Aha!  BINGO!  There is the HOAX!

Here are the to model of cellphones mentioned on the email:

I have to say that I didn’t know who this guy was until I find his bio searching google. I find this video and I was immediately shocked with the quality of the content. It’s a must watch for any Entrepreneur and Internet Marketer.
