Is it possible that someone has stolen my personal data, pretending to be Mozilla?

On March 14, 2015, I received a sudden message on my PC, that I was one of the top mozilla search engine users. I was thus offered to fill in an online form to allow me take part in a competition for a reward. In retrospect I am concerned because the online form required me to fill in my personal details. I would like to know if it is the genuine Mozilla who conduced this competition/reward or maybe I have been cheated out of my personal data.

Do you recall the url you were taken to to fill the forms?

If you remember any part of the title or url of that page, type in the url bar will bring it up from your browser history.

In my judgement, as long as you didn't provide SSN number, you should be fine. Everything else, such as address, phone number, DoB, etc, are never really private on the internet.
