Scam alert! Beware Facebook and WhatsApp message offering free airtime and data for Coca-Cola ‘70years in Nigeria anniversary’

A message circulating on WhatsApp and Facebook in Nigeria claims Coca-Cola is giving away airtime and data.

“COCA COLA IS CELEBRATING 70YEARS IN NIGERIA ANNIVERSARY WITH FREE 5K AIRTIME VOUCHER AND 10GB FREE DATA FOR ALL NETWORKS,” the poorly written message reads.

“Hurry Now And Check If Your account Is Eligible to Recieve Reward, I just got mine foreward to others groups.”

It links to coca-anniversary-rewards.blogspot.com, a site developed with Google’s free Blogger service.

The message then provides several links for MTN, 9mobile, Glo, Airtel and Mac OS network users to supposedly access the promised airtime and data.

But is this a genuine offer from Coca-Cola?
