Early last week, I called 1-800-GET-COKE to find out when Classic would be
available in my area. (I was told to call my local bottler.) I was then for
my name, address, and phone number so they could "log the call". Seeing no
problem, I obliged.

A couple of days ago, my mother answered a call from Coke. The person at
the other end said that they were calling to verify the information I gave.

Somehow this seems a bit excessive. I mean, a phone call from Georgia to
New Jersey to verify an address????!!!

I know that a number of you have also called Coke, so I was wondering: Have
any of you also been called to verify your address?

Thanks in advance...
