Fraud - Coca-Cola Online Lottery Promotion Board is a Scam

There is no "Coca-Cola Online Lottery Promotion Board," "Coca-Cola Mobile Draw" or "Coca-Cola Mobile Promotion Award." Therefore, recipients of fake Coca-Cola lottery messages like the sample below being sent by lottery scammers, which claim that they are winners, should delete the messages. They should also not follow the instructions in them. Remember, once you are asked to send money to receive a lottery prize or award, it is a scam, or a fraudulent attempt by cybercriminals to trick their potential victims into sending them money. And, never respond to unexpected or unsolicited email messages with personal information because this is how lottery scammers target their potential victims.
