The Coca Cola London 2012 Olympic Games Promotions email scam

This email contains a letter claiming to be from The Coca Cola London 2012 Olympic Games Promotions which tells the recipient that they have won an email draw. The letter invites the recipient to fill in an application form and promises a payment by online transfer. This is a scam. Do not respond, provide any of your personal details or pay any money to the people who sent this email.

You would think that, being a Coca Cola employee, he'd have access to a Coca Cola email address...

 

[bowser]

Of course it's fake. I get these all the time. Spam them back just for kicks

Also, that guy earlier wasn't the Wallet Inspector.

 

[Haloman800]

If anyone emails you offering free money for all your personal information... The red lights should go off.

As a general note, all emails involving lotteries, lucky draws and all that improbable shit are more often than not, scams.

As a guideline, if it's too good to be true, it probably is bullshit

More to the point, you don't win competitions you didn't enter.

I don't care what all these dummies have to say, it's real!
I have a friend who won second prize of $1000. He got the money wire transferred to his account three weeks latter. You snooze you loose. Someone else will just get the money.

You snooze you loose. Someone else will just get their identity stolen.

Hmm, who to believe, you or the Coca-Cola Company?

Oh I'm just joking, it's totally a scam.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. In your case, this is most defiantly an identity thief trying to get your information. Just ignore it, and delete it.

Trying to get whatever they can. Information, the fact you responded and can be put on a valuable 'suckers list' to sell to other scammers, then they'll probably start asking for "administrative fees" to process your prize.
