My BIL received a similar email, except it stated that it was from a KFC sweepstakes. Big fat scam!

She did enter a Coke sweep in December.

Hi, I received the same e-mail about winning the trip and after reading this I definitely know it has to be fake now.

I received the exact e-mail on January 13th and that is what led me to this page. I'm afraid it must be a scam now that I see several other people have got this email as well.

THIS IS THE ONE I RECEIVED....IN JANUARY..
PLEASE COMMENT

no...not real
Sorry

I also received the same email and I actually responded with my Name and Address. (I know sounds stupid, but I figured if they weren't asking for anything more personal than that that I should be okay.) After responding, I received one more email back and then a week later received a Letter stating the winnings and steps and also a check in the amount of $69,150.00. The check seems legit but the letter seems very plain for being an actual sweepstakes winning. I am in the process now of talking with the My Coke Rewards people. It would sure be awesome if that check was legit. lol. But my hopes are not high at all. Damn Scammers.

I received the identical notice on March 17. I had entered this sweeps so it had my attention briefly. Too bad!

Here is the url to the winners verification page for the contest.http://bit.ly/rSrbyw

Right, our trip wins have been 2 email notifications & 1 phone call saying "Please let me know if you didn't get an email from us" (and 1 instant trip win we had to contact them first to claim the trip).

I've never had an affy just show up. Dang it.

So don't discount ALL email notifications of wins, but good job giving this one due diligence.
