They want me to pay a courier fee

It's a scam. You did not win anything. They want you to send in a fee because they make money off of the greed of stupid people. Don't send them anything. if you doubt this, call up Coca Cola Company and ask them about this supposed "contest". It does not exist.

It means some Nigerians want to steal your money, think, when did Coca Cola every do a lottery, and even if they did, how can you win a competition you didn't enter, as well as this, why would a company with that much money charge you to accept a claim, and even if they did, why can't they negate it from the winnings.
It's an obvious scam, don't even bother opening them in the future and just delete them, also, add the domain name to your blocked list, (you have 500 spaces anyhow).

Of course it is a scam. If you haven't given them your Social Secirity number or any account number they might not have enough information yet to steal from you, but they may be close. You should expect to see more spam and scams, and you have to be extra careful, because it will look more "personalized" and therefore harder to distinguish from something real. If you get anything that looks like maybe you should respond to, look up the stated business, bank, government office, or whatever it claims to be, from a separate reliable source and contact them at that number, not the method requested in the email. Don't open file attachments from unconfirmed sources.

go directly to http://www.cocacola.com/ and check on that. if you were told to go anywhere else it's a scam. if you didn't signup for a contest it's a scam.
you should have posted the whole message in here minus your personal info so we could see what it said
