Peaches Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Fake Coca-Cola Survey Emails Lead to Phishing Page Security researchers from email security vendor AppRiver warn of a new phishing campaign which produces emails offering a reward taking part in a Coca-Cola opinion poll.The fake emails began hitting people's inboxes yesterday and bear a subject of "Happy New Year." Their header has been spoofed to appear as if they come from a [email protected] email address. The message contained within is a bit confusing, as it portrays the well known company as a polling organization interested in peoples opinion about current events."You have been selected to participate in a public opinion poll conducted by Coca Cola, a non-partisan polling organization."The poll is about current events at the national level and your views about them. It is short and should take you only 5-7 minutes to complete."All of your answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for legitimate research purposes," the emails read.Recipients are provided with a link to the poll page and in order to convince people to complete it, the emails offers $150 to every participant.
