I also received an email with the anniversary giveaway and I absentmindedly entered my info. I now believe it's a scam. The form only asked for name, address, phone number and email which is not terrible but it's still a lot of info so I'll probably have to contact Equifax to monitor any credit attempts. I was surprised at how sophisticated it was and I wouldn't be surprised if they're using generative AI to autopopulate the language and layout by feeding it legitimate content. It used all the correct and current Rogers branding, there were terms and conditions in French and English, the legal info seemed right. They even sent a confirmation email after I entered. The only thing that seemed amiss was that on the legal document with contest rules, the prize details for the Pixel 7 and the iPhone were swapped but I chalked that up to a formatting error. I didn't realize that I'd probably been scammed until I received a contest entry for a Disney holiday from Air Canada very soon afterwards and, well, everyone knows Air Canada never gives anything away for free. I suspect they ask different information in each contest form so they can gather more info on you.
Anyway, if anyone from Rogers is monitoring this question, below are the screenshots of email communication. The URL is here: https://www.rogersgiveaway.ca/november2023/

I think so? I'm not sure if it's exactly 15 years. It's been a long time. They could have gotten that info from a previous security breach.
