Heineken Sweepstake
Posted by Judith from Jay, OK, US on July 5, 2007
I recieved an e-mail notification (”CALL AND CLAIM” from Terry Jones osa_europe25@hotmail.co.uk on a Heineken Sweepstake worth 5 million United States dollars - “Heineken Green Promotion”
Do you know anything about this? I assume that it is bogus but they certainly have made a good effort at making it look legit.
Please advise.
Heineken has a warning on their web-site about this type of promotion...
"Warning: important notice on alleged 'lottery'
Heineken USA has become aware that the Heineken brand name and logo is being fraudulently used for activities in which Heineken is not involved whatsoever.
Alleged Heineken lottery or so-called prize draws are wrongfully being promoted under the Heineken name, even with Heineken imagery and logos.
We want to emphasize that it is neither related to the described lotteries, prize draws etc. nor is it connected to any alleged organization that distributes e-mails on this. Heineken is investigating the origin of those emails and other forms of similar communication, and will consider combating these, if possible.
We strongly recommend that those who receive e-mails on these alleged lotteries, prize draws etc. do NOT open any documents attached to those e-mails and do NOT respond in any way to such e-mails received.
You can contact Heineken directly about this, email them at
heineken@qualitycustomercare.com...Good Luck..Bruce
