This is a lottery fraud. In the first place, Pepsi Cola company does not do lotteries. From time to time they do sweepstakes but not lotteries. What the individuals behind this fraud is attempting to do is to get your personal information from which they can do identity theft or leave you with an empty bank account. Whatever you do, do not respond. If you happened to make the mistake, simply notify your banker and local authorities.
The following is a copy of the email received. Header included. Pay attention to the educational level of the criminal. They obviously have either missed school the day English was taught or they are just plain STUPID!!!
