Just received an e-mail from riotgames@email.leagueoflegends.com claiming to be a 5-minute survey about changes to the game and feedback.

Has anyone else received such an e-mail?

Google: "Why is this message in Spam? It's similar to messages that were detected by our spam filters."

Content: "Greetings Teague,

As part of our ongoing efforts to make League of Legends the best game online, we're conducting a brief survey of some of our players that you've been randomly selected to participate in. We are always looking to better understand our players and we want to hear what you have to say.

Chime in, take the survey below and let us hear who you are and what you think about the game. The survey will take about 5 minutes and is a great way to make your voice heard."

Sounds like a phishing scam to me. Riot, care to weigh in on this one?

Hi Teague,

On our end, we're not up on every single communication Riot sends out, mostly because there are e-mails like this that go out to a select number of players.

Make sure you double check that any links in the e-mail go to a leagueoflegends.com domain and no request should ever ask for your username or password, or that you login.

Other than that you should be just fine.
