I got this email. I clicked the link, it looked legit, had the same log in as the wow forums, but at the end of the survey they want my personal information, account name and secret question. Is this legit or a scam?

Q u o t e:
This looks totally legit! You should enter your password, because blizzard always asks for players' passwords.


*Sarcasm detector goes off the charts*

Absolutely, Gulmokrax, it is fake. Check out our sticky thread you'll see an example of this in post 17.
