Email and Internet Scams

 Rumor: Affiliation with marketing survey that voids enrollment in the Do Not Call registry

This particular email invites the recipient to "Vote for your favorite cola—Pepsi or Coke—and receive a complementary 12 pack." At the bottom of the message is a statement in small type,"By replying to this email, you agree that sponsors, co-sponsors and participating affiliates of this offer may telephone you, even though you have enrolled with a do not call registry or list service." Because Coke is mentioned in the email, it appears to some people that The Coca-Cola Company is somehow affiliated with the email.

 Our Response: Please be assured The Coca-Cola Company is not affiliated with this email in any way. We are not collecting information through this email or providing free 12-packs of our products. Feel free to check our Privacy Policy for further information on the collection of personal information. We have no information as to whether or not answering the survey will result in a person's name being removed from the registry.
