Does Anyone Know Kate From Kates Playground ?

It's Christmas! Another %&&$?%$ or cell free.

Viral marketing strikes again. When it is not Nokia, Ericsson or Motorola's. Here is a hoax that is no longer young but returns every 18-24 months.

A manufacturer of cell phone will give you a free (yes, really!) If you fuck all your friends by reloading this email. Here is an example of the message:
======================= ================ TITLE ======

Free Portable
---------------------- --------------- CONTENT ------
Hello,

The company distributes free Ericsson phones, this in order to counter Nokia has done the same. Ericsson hopes to increase its popularity. For this reason, the new Ericsson distributes free mobile Wap. All you need do is send this email to 8 of your knowledge. In about two weeks you will receive Ericsson T18. If the message is sent to 20 people or more, you'll even receive Ericsson R320. Important: You must send a
copy of your mail to:

anna.swelung @ ericsson.com

Good luck!

Important: This is not a hoax, it works. So indulge yourself by offering you one of these phones

PS message sent by another friend
----------------- ------------ END OF MESSAGE --------

I love the quips: " not a hoax, it works. " Of course! Every day companies give me their product for free! The other day I got a Hummer, a Sony TV 47 "and 7kg of Leonidas Belgian chocolates because I received a similar message to the neighbor's cousin's friend's neighbor ... my aunt; -)

Most importantly, ask yourself two questions:

First, how the dear Anna Swelung going to find out who to send the phone?

Deuxio, the R320 that wonderful " you'll even receive Ericsson R320 " is an old model that does not really excites me ... It's so twentieth century! (See photo). Do you really receive?

This hoax is usually categorized as viral marketing. That is to say, a business venture, so with some ulterior motive, to know a company or a product (here the models of Ericson R320 and T18).
