Coca-cola Company Uk — scamming by using the name of coca cola company

Myself, arjun vg

I can understand that excitement when we got receive scam messages like this. At the first some cant realize that's a scam and these scammers aim is to put that kinda peoples into this trap. Next time if you receive messages like you got the cash prize of this sum of inr or in dollars or in euro whatever it will be, please dont get excited and ignore those messages.
I receive the same messages from these scammers claiming they are from cocoa cola company and my mobile number got selected for winning prize rs.3.65 cr inr. On the next day they mailed me all the details even in the letter pad of coca cola company and we dont know how the letter pad of coca cola company look like so they use their own letter pad named coca cola company. They do anything for getting our trust on them. On next day a agent from doplimatic services named philip moore ben who called me on my phone and asked me to send 18500 rs for releasing our prize from airport as customs duty fee. Their aim is very simple they will send the messages to many numbers per day if they send 500 messages per day in that 500 atleast they will get 5 to 10 peoples who get in to this trap they even send them the money they have asked. So here after nobody will get cheated anymore. For further clarification i decided to send an email to the real coca cola company officials and there i got a answer for everyones questions and doubts posted here. Hereafter when you receive messages like this please dont waste your time by thinking its real or fake, dont be doubted its fake. Okay, i will paste the reply from the real coca cola consumer response team below.

Dear sir,

Thank you for writing to us through our website.

The coca-cola company is in no way associated with these emails or programs. We are not a sponsor and our name and trademarks are used here without permission. Subsequent to your mail we have further examined the matter.

This appears to be a form of fraud known as "phishing," wherein perpetrators attempt to develop relationships with victims in order to obtain personal and financial information. Please do not reply to these emails with any information. Typically, these scam operations begin with an unsolicited communication (Usually by email / sms) from an unknown individual who describes a situation that promises quick financial gain. The best way to avoid becoming a victim of advance-fee fraud is common sense — if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

If you have already responded to this type of email /sms / phone call, we recommend that you immediately discontinue all communications with the source of the email and contact your local and/or federal authorities for advice on how to proceed to protect your personal information and privacy.

We are liaising with isps and respective governments to help stop this.

May we request you also to forward this e-mail to your friends and family members so they too are aware of similar "phishing" scams. We hope we have been able to address your concern in a satisfactory manner.

We look forward to hear from loyal consumers like you.
