Monkey Island Survery for free Wiiware games

edited July 2011 in General Chat
I completed the survey last week and entered the required Wii friend code provided. Today I received an email requesting me to change the friend code as the one provided in the survey was no longer correct. I just wanted to verify here that the email was legitimate before I changed it. Any help from support would be appreciated. Thanks. (I have attached a copy of the email I received below).



Hello,

Earlier this week I sent you this email and, as I have not had any responses, and do not show that anyone has registered me on their Wii Friends List, I thought I’d send it again. It’s a very limited time offer and I would love for you to be able to take advantage of the Gifted Tales of Monkey Island Episodes. Please note that Nintendo requires that you add me to your Wii Friends List before I can send you any messages or gifts. Again, the Telltale Games Wii Friend Code to add is 1096 1858 6135 7389.

Best,

    It sound legitamate. Afterall what would someone have to gain by getting you to add their friendcode? Especially seeing as they would have to of hacked into the survey database to know you did it, what the prize was and you e-mail!

    I filled out a similar survey for a free TMI episode like 6 months ago. Never ever saw it.

    I've received WiiWare episodes from Telltale's surveys. It's legitimate.

    How wonderful for you. I never ever got the episode, though.

    I know it seems silly, but some of the wording seemed dubious to me. I am not that familiar with the Wii so I thought I would rather be safe than sorry. Glad you guys all think it's legit. Thanks for the input.
