I got an email this morning to tell me i`d won £600 in a coca cola draw.I was wary of it because who ever wrote it has not got English as their first language.Anyway i went onto coca cola website and there`s a warning about such emails.So beware.;)

    I had three emails supposedly from the lottery this morning, when I went straight to my lottery account (not through the email links) I hadn't won anything. Very disappointing!

    It looked very like a lottery one - I've had others and told the lottery about them. All they recommend is to delete without using any of the links. I never use links in emails anyway.

    The email address it came from was [EMAIL="worldcocacola@lycos.com"]worldcocacola@lycos.com[/EMAIL]

    supposed to be from someone called Harrison Dyke, Stanford Bridge,London and his email is [EMAIL="harrisondyke@yahoo.com"]harrisondyke@yahoo.com[/EMAIL]
