[SCAM] Jade Tiger Survey

I received an e-mail from Blizzard (
apparently
), supposedly inviting me to take part in a survey.
Reward is a Jade Tiger pet.
I don't know whether it's legit, but as an avid pet collector, I'm hoping that it's legit :|
Did anyone else receive it? Chances of it being legit are slim, but I'm still taking my chances.
For obvious reasons, I ain't gonna provide the link that it asks me to follow.

Did it come from @blizzard.com or @Battle.net?
If not, toss it. It's a scam.
Also if the link itself isn't a part of the Blizzard Network or an affiliate, don't click it. If you already did, scan your machine for keyloggers and other malware.
EDIT:
IT'S A TRAP!
Google FTW

Thanks for the hasty reply. I only wondered that it might be legit because it somehow got through gmail's spam filter. Which is somewhat rare.

Google FTWEven if it DOES say @blizzard.com, email addresses in the "From" line can be spoofed. If you're suspicious you should check the message headers (source code) to see if there isn't a different address of origin. Not the SMTP server it came from but the actual address.
I got a rather comical email in broken English at my work mail the other day 'from' "manager_AT_ups_DOT_com" telling me my package was unable to be delivered and to go here, fill out this form, yadda yadda, and it turned out the email actually came from a totally different domain registered by a company in Turkey, but I had to look at the source code of the email to see the real domain of origin.

You should never open a link through an e-mail unless you're expecting the link - even if you think you recognize the mailing address. Addresses can be spoofed very easily.
Best bet is always manually go to the parent site from which the e-mail supposedly came, and then see if you can find information validating the e-mail there.

Or, alternatively, if you get an email promising you <anything> in return for <clicking a link / account details / passwords / other personal info> just skip all other steps and file neatly in the Trash folder.
