Sample Promotion Prize Scam Email:
Coca-Cola Lottery Winner's Results Announced
Coca-Cola Company in conjunction with the British American Tobacco Worldwide Promotion
Sample scam names used: Mr john williams, Mr. Davison Fairbank, Mrs. Maris Walters
What do you suppose the odds are of Coca Cola working together with a tobacco company to randomly give away huge amounts of money to people based on their email address? As if Coke needs more bad public relations! If that sounds even remotely plausible to you, you must get scammed every day. It's just a fraud.

This is a very simple scam. They claim you won a promotion, which is giving away millions of dollars based on a randomly selected email address. The scam is obvious: it's simply preposterous to think that any company would randomly give away money to encourage you to buy their product. That would be self-defeating.

It is also very similar to the scam on this page.

There are many signs that this is a fraud, not the least of which are:

Email address ballot: There is no such thing as a "computer ballot system" or "computer email draw". No one, not even Microsoft has a database of email addresses of the type or magnitude they suggest.

Terrible spelling, punctuation and grammar - Scammers apparently don't know how to use spell checkers. We assume they dropped out of school before that class. They use almost random CapItaLiZAtion and often can't even spell "February" or know that "22th" ought to be "22nd".

Using free email account: The scammer is writing to you from a FREE email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.). Don't you think a real organization would use its own email, its own domain and website? Did you notice that NONE of the email address they use are @cocacola.com? Wouldn't you think that odd?

What are they promoting? No one promotes "world peace" or "use of the internet" by handing out millions to random strangers. That's just stupid to believe. And if they are promoting a product, then this must be the world's worst promotion, because no one has heard of it, outside of the email you just received.

And a legitimate lottery certainly would not use free hotmail, yahoo, elitist, or aim email accounts.

Notice the gibberish writing, excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, lack of decent punctuation and other clues to an obvious fraud that we have highlighted in the letter; keep confidential, selected by a random computer lottery of email addresses, use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that matches the lottery name, etc.

It is a typical scam sweepstakes winning notification. Also see these pages:
