Seems unlikely. Coca Cola, just like all big companies, will be doing market research all the time. They usually go through agencies though who contact you directly with a phone call or something, or they have someone stop you in the street. Both of which use a bunch of real physical people.

it's got the postal address of the head office on, so can't possibly be a scam.

er, no. That email is not worded very well at all - not the sort of thing you expect from a mega corp.

Do you really have to ask?

Really?

It even says coca cola in the url; it must be genuine.

Click it and sit back and wait for the money to roll in.

And that's why it was deleted to try and prevent the gullible from clicking it. 😀

All they are doing is harvesting email addresses/facebook account details so they can spam you to death at a future date - just like all those ones that say "we have 100 iPads that we can't sell because they have been opened - like this page to be in with a chance of winning one"

Could be. Could also be a malicious website that exploits the latest java vulnerability. No way should you click on those links

A lot of phishing scams are getting very sophisticated and believable these days.

Unlike this one.
