Sony Vaio emails - are they are scam?
I keep getting emails that look like authentic Sony Vaio emails asking me to fill in a customer survey on the recent purchase of my Sony Vaio.
Are these a scam or is it Sony's database gone a bit haywire - I did buy one from them five years ago (before I discovered proper laptops
).
If they are phishing it is the best I have seen hence my question.

I've had loads from sony the past few days. They're in relation to a camera I bought 3 years back so think yours could well be legit but not worth the risk.

I have had three such e-mails in the last few days, sent to an e-mail address that i only gave to Sony. Looks like they are being sent by Emailvision, a bulk sender of SPAM, who are based in France.
Fingers crossed that we all get an e-mail apology from Sony with a free fifty quid voucher as compensation
