I just recieve the following email. I think it is a scam, but I have entered alot of drawings here and there from doing surveys, but still I think this is just phishing for information What do you all think? All I drink is coke, and I can't remembe rif I did enter something. So what do you think should I email them and see what they say? See what kind of information they are trying to scam out on so I can warn others. I think I may do that. What do you all think?THE COCACOLA COMPANY OFFICIAL PRIZE NOTIFICATION

Please make sure you have joined and signed-up for that event and that's why they're having their reply. And if not so, that's a big scam. How could you win something without having a bet. I can't imagine on believing it aside from being a scam.

I get tons of those all the time.. as far as I can tell I think its a phishing email. The only coke contest I ever entered was on that mycokerewards thing with the bottle cap points.But if you want to make sure go to the Coke sight and see if they have a security department you can forward it to like yahoo and ebay do.
