Toyota is not giving away free cars to celebrate their success this year. Therefore, online users who have received messages like the one below, which claim they can participate to win one of the free cars, are asked to delete them. This is because the messages are being sent by scammers with links to fake survey websites that steal personal information or phishing websites that steal online account credentials and credit card information.

  Maybe the email you received was spoofed to make it appeared as if it came from your friend, but was actually sent by scammers.
  Contact your friend directly to verify.
