Hotmail里面有一个"申领免费索爱手机"的邮件，QHZ转发的，大意如下：

好吧，我们google一下这个邮件地址 anna.swelam@sonyerricsson.com ，结果如下：
发个电子邮件可获索爱手机?不是恶搞就是诈骗

网上可见最早的这封信，是2005年九月发的。

索爱的官方回复：

Dear sender,
This message / promotion is not a genuine Sony Ericsson promotion. We suspect that the people behind this hoax virus/email campaign hope to obtain and misuse the personal data of those who participate.
Please do not forward this promotion on.
Kind regards

还有一个2003年的版本是Nokia的，还是这个 Anna：

这封信更早的版本是Ericsson的，2001年8月10号：

Dear customer Our main competitor, Nokia, is giving free mobile phones away on the Internet. Here at Ericsson we want to counter their offer. So we are giving our newest WAP-phones away as well. They are specially developed for Internet happy customers who value cutting edge technology. By giving free phones away, we get valuable customer feedback and a great Word-of-Mouth effect.
All you have to do, is to forward this message to 8 friends. After two weeks delivery time, you will receive a Ericsson T18. If you forward it to 20 friends, you will receive the brand new Ericsson R320 WAP-phone. Just remember to send a copy to Anna.Swelund@ericsson.com - that is the only way we can see, that you forwarded the message.
Best of luck

Anna Swelund
Executive Promotion Manager for Ericsson Marketing
