I NEVER enter contests online, I most certainly did not enter these, but they have each sent me 2 email a peice saying that I won, and now they need my info. What do I do? one is from the cocacola company, the others from some place in Africa. It a large sum of money. something about British money. What do I do? how would they have got my email?

There are a thousand scams out there like those.
If you want to be sure, go to cocacolas website (don't use a link from the email) and ask them if they sent that email. Most likely not.

You have to enter to win.
In much of Africa, unemployment is rampant. there are no opportunities legally. There are internet cafes where people sit by the hour and send scam letters all over the world, and net thousands a year from unsuspecting
people by fraud. Contact your State Attorney General,
and they will tell you.

The odds of you winning the lottery in 3 different place at the same time are astronomically small. Give them your information and see which one steals your identity and drains your bank account first. These emails are obviouisly spam. Delete them.

You know these are not real. Good grief! You didn't enter any contests so how could you win? Never open emails like these.

You ignore them all. Don't know how they got your email,unless someone you know is playing a joke on you. Don't give out any info about yourself. Email them back and ask for their company registration number and a copy of your entry. We know these don't exist,so they'll be running scared
