Statement on hoax competitions and unsolicited communications using the Sony Mobile name

July 20, 2012

Sony Mobile is aware of a series of unsolicited communications including emails and SMS messages sent to individuals claiming they have won a competition or prize through a Sony Mobile competition.

These unsolicited communications are not from Sony Mobile Communications and are believed to be attempts to obtain personal data for fraudulent purposes.

All competitions and promotions involving Sony Mobile are run through our official channels such as the Sony Mobile website or Sony Mobile’s partner websites. Please be wary of any competition or promotion that appears to come from outside of Sony Mobile or our partners’ official channels.

Please do not reply to, provide any personal data of yours or others, take action or forward the suspected hoax email/SMS if you receive it.

For further clarification on this subject, you can contact your local contact centre:

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

If you ever have doubt on any communications you receive using the Sony Mobile name, please contact your local contact centre.
