Is it reliable to buy in www.consoleshop.com?

Is this best buy gift card winning reliable or a scam?

  • I woke up this morning receiving a text message saying that my entry last month has won. i don't remember entering a specific website but i have done other things online that could of possibly entered me into it? anyways it sent me a link to a website to go to and gave me the winning code to claim my free $1000 best buy gift card. i went to the website and put in the code and said it was one of the right codes (i think it said there were like 15 winners) and it sent me to the next page asking for information on where to send it. it asked for first last name, address, phone number and thing of that nature. I'm skeptical of putting it in cause I'm not sure if there is anything bad that could happen. i haven't had to put any credit card info or paid any money but i just don't like putting my address on line and people knowing personal information so thats why i came to hear to hear what you might think? also at the bottom of the page it says some information like requirements like being u.s. citizen and being over 18 in order to claim reward and some other stuff and at the end of that little paragraph it says the stuff about terms and conditions and private policy links and has a copyright that says "Copyright © 2012 bestbuy.mygiftcardsnow.com All rights reserved." at the very bottom? to me that made it seem a little more authentic and reliable but I'm still unsure so if you guys could reinforce my thinking and really think that its legitimate and reliable i'd appreciate it, unless of course something doesn't seem right and you think it's a bad idea to put personal info on this page. thanks and I look forward to hearing from your responses.
