Sony review: lucky number 89

i have also received such a sms regarding winning a huge amount. kindly let me know what exactly is it...i did call up the sony ericsson call center, but they couldnt help me out, they have no clue.

I have sent all my details and have been verified as the lucky winner of 350, 000.00 Pounds. I made transfer fee and was informed by my bank taht my account has been credited but have to wait for a week because it is a promotional winning. Your comments are spoiling the mind of real winners and stop if you are not true winner.

hey even i recvd the same message ...i hav spoken to them and now they hav asked me to transfer 1650 pounds...but i really dunno wt to do...plz. tell me if sum1 has actually recvd da winning amt...

hey even i recvd the same message ...i hav spoken to them and now they hav asked me ..but i really dunno wt to do...plz. tell me if sum1 has actually recvd da winning amt...plz help me ouy any body

i too have received an sms yday stating my cell no( in mumbai) has won 5, 00, 000 pounds...the no provided to call is +[protected] which however is not reachable...is there anybody who has any more info ?

I also received a similar message promising a sum of 450000 pounds from sonyericsson promo .Is it a genuine message?

Sony Erricsson should lodge the report with police in UK from where the hoax call is coming as phone number starts from +44 that is UK code. Some one is misusing the name and goodwill of Sony Erricsson and this is the moral duty of Sony Erricsson to take take legal and police action against the culprits and protect the loyal customers from being cheated.

don't ever believe them cause it's fake. how can a large company ask money from you? and such prize is quite big enough with so many winners. it's one tactic to get money from you.before releasing money confirm first from the real company in which way you are safe.

by the way, they sent me also the message. and i ignored it coz i know it's a hoax. the number they used is [protected]. they can't fool a Filipina like me. just think about it, the supposedly company is asking money from you when it is the one that is supposedly awarding you a prize. something wrong isn't it?

I have also become this msg. But with a different number thou too that I am not from UK! The sume of money I should get if this would be troo is 215€ At this moment I am in contact with my mobile operater and sony-ericsson! This is probably a hoax, and I don't like it how someone is trying to fool people!

I have also recd.a similiar SMS, promissing me a huge winning amount.I tried to call the but that number whta they have given me was not reachable.So, I mailed them .Today, I got a reply.I am attaching below their messages below what they have replied me.Just go through that and advice me.

I have contacted Sony... this is their replay!

"Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson.

The Sony Ericsson Call Center would like to thank you for the feedback regarding the sms you got with Sony Ericsson signature.

Sony Ericsson did`nt send you any sms with that text."

I have also recieved a similar message and tried contacting them on the number given but no one picked up the call . I am eager to know if this is all a hoax . If so then Sonyericsson should take this up very strongly and get the culprits arrested . Its spoiling the image of Sony Ericsson .

Sony Ericsson has send me back a mail regarding this as too be an hoax! So you shouldn't be sanding anything of your personal varification!

The only thing is that I don't get it where did the get my cell number and how do they know I have bought a Sony Ericsson?
The only one that knows all of this is my mobile provider!

I have already asked for confirmation from sony ericsson,
Plz confirm me as early as possibe.

I received the message, too, and don't know it's a fake or what! Like i never won something that huge, i don't believe i won this one too. What should i do? To trust, to whom? Please help me

Even I too received same message to my cell. My option was Diplomatic Consignment Delivery and I was supposed to pay deliver charges. As soon as they arrived India, they called us and asked to pay 2lacs as tax in addition to the delivery charges. They asked us to deposit this money in their account. Please let me know how far it is true...

Some body is doing in the name of sony ericsson company. Sony Ericssion Comapny has to take care of this...

I have also got sms of winning 500000pounds from sony erricson i also feel it's all a fake as i have called on the no. which was there on my mobile thrice but there were no satisfactory answer
so i don't think so anybody should get into this

Hi all! i too received such a good to be true msg! at first I was bit optimistic as they have given somewhat like a sensible email add but still little skeptic about it as it was sent in a recession time in the UK (Feb 17, 2009) and sony ericsson is also affected in the global economic meltdown.
So i suggest this simple to do things, first is to Google it to get the pulse, that's why i happened to see this site and also post this msg. Then check the site like in my case they mentioned claim@uksonyericsson.com which suggest their site name as www.uksonyericsson.com as the usual scenario when dealing with email adds like personame@gmail.com so there should be www.gmail.com. And viola "Network error (dns_unresolved_hostname)" is the msg - so it's FAKE/HOAX!

i have received a similar SMS but with 450, 000 pounds. but when i called the number that they gave, the number was not available. i believe this is a scam. please do not give any amount or any other information. i have looked into their website and they dont have this promo posted. even the email address they gave "claim@uksonyericsson.com", if you go to www.uksonyericsson.com, this website doesnt exist.

even i gt a message tht u have won 420, 000 pounds and on sending confirmation they called me also and they have sent me deed of guarantee as a attachment i dnt knw wat to do ?/ apart from courier charges are they asking for ne other payments? plz help me out if ne body has ne information

I also got tht msg ... but yet they didnt me for money ... i dunno its true or fake ... but unless they didnt ask me the money i wont believe tht this is spam or junk ... well its a very big company n i also dont believe tht they will ask money for in exchange of a huge amount...

its al fake...

Even I too received same message to my cell.My option was Diplomatic Consignment Delivery and I was supposed to pay deliver charges. 760pounds
by western union as soon as posible on 18/04/2009
they will be sending the cheque and other relevant documents in oman i call them they where repliying

Now there's this email circulating that Sony-Ericsson is giving away free laptops if you send to more people the email you received. It's even got a Sony-Ericsson email address. What do you guys think about this?

I have received a sms that my mobile no has won 500, 000 pounds.
While asking for details in info@uksonyericsson.com they expalin me about this and asked to send me all docs for verification.
After sending all the docs they revert me back that I am the lucky winner
and I can collect the cheque from their head office or mony can be directly transfer to my account, but a cost of transfer of rs 107000 has to be transfer by me to First Diamond Bank before they transfer the winning amount
to my said account, all contact persons name are written over their.
Is it true and relaiable? Plz confirm
