I've had a couple of these.

If these were true, I would be a millionaire driving a Toyota somewhere in Europe.

I have seen these e-mails before, but not with the Coca-Cola affiliation. I guess by naming a major company, they make themselves appear legitimate.

Hubby got one of these e-mails saying that he won some kind of lottery in the UK. He actually started to get excited, thinking he had actually won something. Then he read the other five similar messages waiting in his inbox, each giving different prize amounts.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me six times, shame on me.
