I guess there may be 'people' working for Coca-cola involved!
Does anyone remember when we used the words cheat or steal--now it is just scam! Still means the same thing to me.

Maybe they went dumpster diving etc. But anyway, they were found guilty on the presumption that they cheated.
So that would mean anyone who finds icoke pins in recycling machines (in Quebec) or in dumpsters etc, and enters 10 per week has a chance of being looked at for possible fraud. There`s gotta be more than what they are revealing to this whole situation.
You may want to read all the articles about this incident. In short:They are being charged with fraud because they used multiple false idenities. Many names were real people--so I am guessing that is where the identity thief charges are coming from. The other charges are claiming multiple prizes, when the rules specify prize limits. The local news feed are saying much more than the national news. I think the charges were not based on entering too many pins--but rather totally dishonest and illegal behavoir.Quote:

Having said all this, I am going to finish my coke (my big treat for today) and try to remember to enter my pin!
(If I sound grumpy--sorry, I just found out I have to work on my birthday this weekend--no fun!--oh well....)

Looking to trade for pins :)
--sorry--did not mean to sound grumpy--one of the news shows says they stated that they got them from recycling centers--but the cops say that the representives of the recycling centers say they do not know of these two women. The coke rep. says no way--then no comment.Quote:
