WARNING: Beta Scams Prevalent

With the release of Blizzard’s Beta opt in program, players should be much more alert to the various scams that are making their way around the Internet. I just received an email moments ago informing me that I got selected for the Wrath beta.

Unfortunately, the email address that it got sent to is not linked to my Warcraft account in any way.

Note that the URL is something akin to *.byethost5.com.

I gotta admit, it’s a pretty good looking fake.

  1. That’s pretty scary with how good that looks. I’ll definitely check Blizz to make sure invites have gone out before I accept anything, and then double check the URL.

    Thanks for the warning!

  2. If I get in I won’t believe it unless I see it on my account management page… 😉

  4. Wow, that is scary real looking. Between that and someone getting excited about the beta I can see somoene easily falling for this. I think it is time to call in the U.N. to put a stop to this. Or atleast write a strongly worded letter to the account hackers and the gold farmers.
