SCAM EMAIL?- Blizz Survey for game time

I received an email yesterday that I think is a scam, however it looks like it WAS sent from blizz and I think that some hackers out there spoofed their email and sent this very real looking email that basically says that if you take the survey you will receive 10 free days of game time. When you follow the link it takes you directly to a page that looks ALMOST identical to a wow account login, which of course I did not enter any info. ANYWAY, i guess its possible this is real but I wanted to report it to Blizzard and warn anyone else that may have gotten it. It WAS sent to my registered account email and here's the body of the email. If this is real maybe a GM can post here that its safe, otherwise Id hope someone from Blizz can find this info useful.

*WARNING* DO NOT FOLLOW THE LINK IT PROVIDES
