The message below is a hoax that appeared in March, 2000:
Subject: WIN A NOKIA!!
Hello dear customer
I am forwarding this because we from Nokia, are very happy to
see that the people on the internet are visiting our page often.
To keep the customers who use the internet happy, we have
developed a new series of mobile telephones called WAP (
wireless application protocol). They are made for people who are
on the road often and don't have the internet with them, they
can now get the information on there telephones.
Unfortunately, not many people have heard about WAP, that's wy
we are spreading this e-mail around the net. 'What's in it for
me?', you'll probebly think. Well, everyone who forwards this
message 10 times, will receive the Nokia 3210. everyone who
forwards this message 25 times or more, will receive the Nokia
7110, the first WAP telephone
Two weaks after you've forwarded this messageNokia will contact
you about your adress. This message is only for Microsoft
Windows© users, Nokia can only see how much you've forwarded the
message if you use Windows 95 or newer.
Good Luck!!
If you receive this message or similar, please ignore it and do not
pass it on. No one pays or gives out gifts for spreading chain
letters and hoaxes like this.
Here is the official Nokia's answer published on their website:
Dear Customers,
Nokia is aware of a hoax e-mail stating that Nokia is handing
out free phones to people who forward the e-mail. This malicious
e-mail has absolutely nothing to do with Nokia. We have started
to investigate the origins of the e-mail and in due course will
take appropriate actions. We regret any inconvenience caused to
our customers.
Nokia
