You Have Won £1,280,000
No, you haven't. How can you tell that these damned things are scams? It's really pretty easy. The first thing to do is to immediately be suspicious. Assume it's a scam right off the bat, and you will be right close to 100 percent of the time. See if it makes any sense. For example, lotteries are only approved by governments. Within the United States, each individual State can run a lottery, if it is approved by State Legislature. The central authority for the State Lottery is usually in the State's capital city, but not always. The U.S. government does not run any "National Lottery" as many other nations do.
Nowhere in the world, however, do corporations or other businesses run any sort of lottery. They are in business to make a profit, not to give money away. Whenever they do give a great deal of money away, they have some money to burn after all their expenses have been paid, and this is an advertising practice known as philanthropy. Giving money away in this manner tells people that the business is doing very well, above and beyond how they normally do. Money is not ever given away to individual people; rather, the money is given to worthy causes, so that other people will notice, and give the business public credit in the media for doing so. Not From: Pepsi Global Promotion Lottery E-Mail: [email protected] This is a free Microsoft Live e-mail address, not Pepsi Do Not Reply-to: [email protected] This is another free Microsoft Live e-mail address, that also has nothing to do with Pepsi To: BCC Date: Fri, Jul 8, 2011 From: Ms. Sheryl Cronin Not UK Lottery Live! Not the Pepsico Brands International Promotional Office Not at Tolpits Lane, Watford, Herts WD18 9RN The scammer might be in the United Kingdom, even though a UK phone number is listed, but probably not. See why below. Tel: +44 (0)70 4090 2169 Fax: +44 (0)70 4090 2196 [email protected] This is yet another free Microsoft Live e-mail address, not Pepsi. This just adds to the evidence that yes, this is indeed a scam. The first one was already a big red flag. This link (JustLottery.com) also has nothing to do with Pepsi, and it is not a lottery. It is simply a company that provides countries, and States within the U.S., with lottery software. See this link. It's the main page on the same website. "UltraLott provides exceptional lottery software for the USA and other Countries ..." ATTENTION: WINNER PSL/OMG/STFU/84 REF: PEPUK/OMG/STFU/2011 BATCH NO: TWI/OMG/STFU/TO WINNING NOTIFICATION! (You haven't won anything) Notice how the scammer is using a 'J' in place of '£' for British Pounds Sterling, and yet they did use a '£' in the Subject Line. This is why I suspect the scammer is not located within the UK. If they are in the UK and this is simply a copied document, they did not take any time to do the substitution. You won Ј1,280,000.00 on Pepsi Special Global Brands Promotion Lottery. You have won the sum of Ј1,280,000.00 (One Million Two Hundred and Eighty Thousand Pounds Sterling). No you haven't, it's a scam. See this link for details The link above is a true story from istockanalyst. com. Pepsi's number one seller is actually Mountain Dew, but they would still like to boost the sales of their flagship product. They are therefore planning on spending some extra money for marketing and advertising. It could mean that certain Pepsi products will be available for free, by coding bottles underneath their caps, but it does not mean that they are going to be giving away millions of dollars to individual people. See "Philanthropy," above. Fill in your online application attached correctly in bold letters and email to us immediately you receive this mail so that we can proceed with the required claim process. Congratulations! Yours insincerely, Ms Sheryl Cronin Not the Admin Department Not UK Lotto Live Not Pepsi Special Global Brands Promotion Lottery (There's no such thing) NOT PEPSI BRANDS PROMOTIONAL LOTTERY No corporation and no company holds any lottery.

This is simply another company that happens to sell lottery software. ATTENTION: WINNER PSLO/OMG/STFU/84 REF: PEPUK/OMG/STFU/2011 BATCH NO: TWICE A LOTTO WINNING NOTIFICATION! (You haven't won anything, it's a scam) Notice their use of the ordinals of 2 and 3, below. Don't help them, let them figure it out on their own. Our parent company PepsiCo International is the No 1 food and beverage company in North America and the proud makers of the Pepsi brands. However over the past few years we have gradually lost our coveted position to our rival soft drink makers which saw our flagship brand Pepsi Cola slip from its 2rd position to the 3rd most successful soft drink in terms of sales. Hence in a bid to fiercely compete with and recapture our valuable market from our competitors, our company has launched a multi million-dollars massive awareness / marketing campaign to remake our flagship brand Pepsi Cola one of the best soft drink available to customers globally. See this link for details. They even had someone make a comment at that link. "Thank you for giving this money away, I really need it." The comment was something like that. Again, see "philanthropy," above. Following this huge budgetary allocation for international campaign to promote the Pepsi brand, We PepsiCo in collaboration with UK Lottery have created a ‘special global brands promotion lottery’ whereby winners will be selected randomly through their email addresses and their mobile phones. No one selects "winners" by e-mail address or mobile phone number. If you did not buy your very own paper lottery ticket, then you did not win. Period. This exercise is aimed at energizing aggressively the soft drink market competition and promoting awareness globally about our brands. In the light of the above, we happily announce to you the draw of the Pepsi Special Global Brands Promotion Lottery’ held on Monday 4th July 2011 here in London City, United Kingdom. As opposed to "London," I guess LOL. Your email address attached to Ticket Number: INT68847 75606545 10, with Serial Number 74840287 drew the winning numbers [no it didn't] 23 28 35 36 37 48 with a bonus Number 17 for ‘Twice a Week’ Lotto under the 2nd category of the ‘Twice a Week’ six. You have therefore not been approved to claim a total sum of they got that one ==> £1,280,000.00 (One Million Two Hundred and Eighty Thousand Pounds Sterling) in cash credited to file PEPUK/85347H/2011. This is from a total cash prize of and that one ==> £11,100,000.00 Million Pounds Sterling, shared amongst the first One Hundred and-thirty (130) lucky winners in this category worldwide. Please note that your lucky winning ... and it ended right there, at "winning." LOL Scams R Us, Inscamerated. We Belong in Prison.
