That is a tricks Social Engineer hacker use & you become victims would not even realize that because social engineers exploit the natural tendency of a person to trust their word.
Now, Form the above example social engineer hacker know the weakest point of your brain to gain your personal information without making a computer security holes.
For Security you also visit below Coco-cola company site to read “what company says about this rumor?”
If you already send your personal detail to hacker then 90 % chance that your online account is not safe & watched/used by hacker. So, Change your personal detail with password or close that account as soon as possible & create new one with new password & personal detail.
If you see any lottery mail come in your account with the brand name then delete it without reading & always secure yourself from social engineer hacker.
