You'll find that the Email is a dead account so that it is harder to be traced . Phone numbers are legit but unless they answer with their name, position and company name you'll find that its a fraud..

Just because the email might come from pepsico, any one can buy a domain name..

Don't forget to pass on any fraudulent mails to the legal department of the company name used for the fraud.

If unsure you could always contact the Company and ask any questions you can to find out. They will be helping you and you will be helping them.

Don't ring the Phone number provided in the Email. Look up the Number

Peace out

I initially thought it was a scam, but then I responded to the e-mail and they mailed me a check for 250,000 pounds! I quit my job and am now living the good life in the Caribbean... BUT seriously folks, it looks so obviously like a scam and yet people fall for it all of the time! They wouldn't keep trying unless someone did. and all they need is 1 sucker out of 10,000 to make it worthwhile. I wonder what their "success" rate is...
