Nothing like the real thing!

I got this funny phishing e-mail scam today. Using Coca-Cola as some sort of lottery affiliate???

Some very funny lines in there about how I need to "keep all lotto information away from the general public". They try to explain how I never entered anything but still was a winner! Their special "email selection machine (TOPAZ)" picked my e-mail address randomly. TOPAZ! :-)

I'm going to have some fun with this one!
