Hello there!
On behalf of everybody here at Tom’s Guide, I’d like to congratulate you on being selected as one of the winners of our Tom’s Guide Launch Contest!
We’d like to send out your prize right away, but first we’ll need to collect your shipping information. We’ve drawn up a quick little form for you to fill out, and you can find that here:
(google doc, i removed it in case this is real)
Once we have your shipping information, we’ll send out your prize right away! The prize you will receive has already been predetermined through random selection. You will be receiving a copy of Titanfall. Please let us know whether you would prefer a copy for the PC or for the XBox One.
We understand that you might not have time to fill the form out right away, but in the interest of fairness and trying to get these prizes to everybody before the holidays begin, we do have to put a small time limit on this. If we don’t hear from you within two weeks, your prize will unfortunately be forfeit, and will be offered to another participant, so please be sure to take a few minutes to fill out the form!
Once again, congratulations and thank you for taking part in the Tom’s Guide Launch Contest! We hope you will be sticking around and helping us to build this community into one as great as the Tom’s Hardware community. Enjoy your prize; we hope it will bring a little joy to you during this holiday season!
Regards,
Kevin Ng
Community Assistant, Tom’s Hardware & Tom’s Guide

followed by me putting in user name, name, address, phone...
so my question is...
is this legit?
i wouldn't doubt there was a contest like this around the time the game launched... but what... half a year later?
if it was more than just a game... well... more than just this game specifically, i would probably put info in and still ask here after, mostly because what they are asking for i don't think they could steal my accounts or anything... but getting signed up for phone calls or a mailing list for bs i don't need isn't what i want to do, at least not for this game.
