So I got an email in my junk folder from WoW saying they were hosting a Survey and were offering an in-game pet or something if I participated. Initial thought was, "how'd they get my email, I've never done anything with WoW?"...having just done the Turbine one, I figured maybe some email sharing or something. Then I look at the email address (survey@email.blizzard.com). So now that I'm pretty sure this is a phishing email due to the address not being simply ###@blizzard.com, I clicked the link (what?! I'm at work, its not MY pc that could get messed up lol) and the website immediatly asks for my username and password.

So I'm just saying, if you get something like this...make sure you check the reply address first. BTW, the email looked completely legit with all kinds of WoW graphics and the setup looked professional.
