I could be wrong, but I disagree. I've seen a
number of legit surveys run by zoomerang...and legit marketing messages
delivered by postsnet.com.

Survey Definitely fake,
Sharyn.
0) Like you said,
it had at least one typo. And would they tell you what "segment" they've
put you in? And to an email address they've never been
given?
1) The link
goes through another provider with a 6 month old domain name, through
a Group Telecom connection in Canada. AT&T certainly has their own
bandwidth, and if they wanted the feedback survey to be done by a 3rd party,
they would clearly state so.
2) Have you ever
seen the legal disclaimer at the bottom of a real message from AT&T?
It's half as long as any email they send out, and those emails are full of happy
pictures.
3) Check the
URL. They have no reason to escape the characters in the URL, and it's
full of tracking information that looks like classic ROKSO spamgang
technique. The same info is in the links at the bottom of the
message.
4) The weird
thing is that the AT&T logo comes from the website of an advertising
agency... that seems really unlikely, unless it was the ad agency itself that
sent it (but you didn't include the header of the email).
