I really don’t think that’s the same one.

No it's not ... just thought it would be a good way to let people know if they didn't. I don't know if I'd trust the email one either. I'd probably contact EA and ask if it's legit. I don't open things unless I know where they are from for sure.

Sounds like others have gotten it though so no harm no foul. I just wanted to be sure it wasn't a scam going around. It was weird getting it 2 days in a row though.

Birthdate, zip code and profession are pretty standard online survey questions. A lot of sites that host surveys for companies will start you off with those questions (as well as things like gender, etc) no matter what the survey itself is about. It's nothing unusual at all, unless that's information you wouldn't want to give out. Personally, I've always slightly fudged those questions for privacy in the past. ;)
(A lot of apps give rewards for taking surveys from sponsors, which is why it's a subject I'm strangely familiar with lol)

It looks legit, but the sender is e.ea.com. I'd be wary.

Just ignore it. Who cares? :D :D :D

If I get an email that looks a bit dodgy, I Google it to see if others have had it and what they have done. Nine times out of ten, it's a scam. As others have said here, if you're not sure, bin it.

They shouldn't ask for an exact birthdate (and everyone should be wary of giving that out). That's identifiable personal information that could be used to access your financial and health information (since it's often used to verify that you are you).

If you see something online that doesn't seem quite right, just don't.
