Default Mansion survey email: Scam?

I just received an email, allegedly coming from Mansion (mansion@e.mansion.com), asking me to take part in a survey.

The very first question ask for my real name, screenname, country of residence and phone number.

http://resp.survey01.net/servlet/surveyResponse

To me this looks like a possible phishing attempt.


Did anyone else receive this?
Is it legit?

I have a Mansion account and did not get that email.


I'd email Mansion support about it, if I were you.

I also got it, and I'm 99.9% sure it's legit.

But still... These sites should do a much better job at making their mails not look like a phishing attempt...

Why would they need to ask for your screenname? Your screenname is already tied to your email account. This is a scam.

The e-mail address is not asked in the survey.

Even if it was, your reasoning is horrible.

Maybe they don't ask for your email address because, oooh, I don't know, they already have it (SINCE THEY SENT YOU AN EMAIL).
