My username is on the winners list but I thought I already supplied all this information when I entered. The email address is of the sender is UbisoftFarCry2Contest@adhesia.fr
Which makes me a little suspicious. Anyone have any thoughts? (sorry if the topic is misplaced I couldn't decide where to put it)

Thanks in advance

It probably is legit, the address it's from is that of a French IT company that does promotional software work for Intel, Microsoft and other big companies.

I just got one from them too, after emailing the French office of Intel, who had sent me a similar email back at the end of February, they told me my prize had already been despatched.

I got one the same as yours from Mélanie VITRY, but in mine it says:

quote:

You are one of the lucky winners of the FarCry 2 Core i7 Contest. Your DVD has been sent to you, but unfortunately the delivery has been rejected for unknown reasons & the shipment got returned to us.

For the DVD to be sent to you again and ensure a proper delivery, I need to verify your complete address, contact and phone number.

Which seems to back up what Intel told me, so it would appear to be genuine.

I don't think so, not unless they have some kinda seal of approval, which I don't think it would have. Best to just skip it, dude.

You can fill in my details
I'd be willing to take that risk.

All those information for just a contest prize? More likely it's a company who collects information and sells them to telemarketers.
