Samsung H106/WB1000 giveaway event?

[cjungkor]

Hey people,

I'm a very passionate Twitter-user, and I, randomly, got to the Twitter from Samsung. Anyhow, it seems they are doing an event, where they give-away a H106 and a WB1000.

Anyways, yes well just wanted to share.

Just registered on this forum, and I thought this might be a good post to start^^

This is a scam.

Dunno if it's a scam, but definitely viral marketing...

They will collect your details: email, address, phone. Out of a few hundreds gullible they might or might not have a winner. Good luck - fat chance.

Yep... definitely a scam. The "fractured" English is always the give away. A genuine Samsung web site would never let this through!
