This is the email I received from pepsi after I sent them the bogus email saying I had won.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Pepsi-Cola and for sharing your concerns over an unapproved use of our company's logo. Please be assured this absolutely is not a legitimate promotion that Pepsi-Cola is running.

We're grateful to you for bringing this matter to our attention. We at Pepsi have worked hard for more than a century to build a reputation of quality and trust with our consumers. As you can appreciate, we're very interested in learning of any outside concern attempting to capitalize on our good name. For that reason, I'll be sure to share the information you provided with our internal security team as well as with federal authorities.

Again, thank you for your assistance in this matter. We greatly appreciate your friendship and support.

DID YOU KNOW ... *** All of Pepsi-Cola’s plastic soft-drink bottles contain an average of 10% recycled plastic, and the average aluminum can contains 40% to 50% recycled aluminum. ***

Yep, an obvious scam.

Still, Pepsi could have sent you a sample case for your trouble :)
