    Ditto! Scam for sure. Report the e-mail to SE and don't click the link since SE didn't use 3rd party services for their polls and surveys.

    Also would be nice to have a community rep or a GM to check this out ASAP...before we start getting waves of compromissed accounts.

    God stop misinforming people. The link is legit and they did use a third party for this survey. Stop jumping to conclusion without using technical facts. Hurr Durr it's a scam...

    And while a third party made the survey, it is still hosted on SE servers...

    You can hardly blame people for being skeptical of a random email with a link to a third party website that very few others have gotten.

    Sure is third party website when the url ends with .square-enix.com. It's only a subdomain...

    Being skeptical is one thing, claiming that its a scam is another. There is nothing wrong with asking in such cases indeed. But jumping to conclusion without any evidence is just wrong :s

    How many scam emails have people gotten for FFXI where the web address was only slightly modified to look like a subdomain?

    Like I said, people are skeptical because stuff exactly like this has gotten accounts hacked and gutted in the past.

    This. AFAIK every suspicious e-mail is scam until proved wrong.
