I received an email from Vanguard regarding $20 for taking a survey. It seemed phishy as the domain that it was sent from wasn't @vanguard.com (or similar) and the enticement of a monetary award.

I contacted Vanguard regarding this and forwarded them the email. The representative thought it was a phishing attempt as well. I was later contacted by Vanguard and they told me it was legitimate. I was even able to contact the person that wrote the email through a Vanguard number.
