FlyerTalk Forums - Coca Cola Fraud email

If this needs to be moved please do so.

I received this email saying it was from the Coca Cola company and I won $1,000,000 British Pounds! Can you believe it! :rolleyes:

Anyways, I thought I'd post it in case anyone else get one. The Coca Cola website actually mentions this scam
