I believe I received a Beta invitation, BUT. It was sent to the wrong email. I switched my B-net account off of the email that it was sent to a while back and Im receiving emails from the one I switched off of saying that I have the invitation even though, I no longer have a battle.net account on that email.

It sounds like a phishing attempt, Lawlcats.

As far as I am aware when invitations are sent out, which should be fairly soon if they haven't been sent already, it should simply notify you that you have been accepted and to check your Battle.net account to download the client.

I'm not 100% certain as of yet but that should be how it works.

You can also check the headers on an e-mail to figure out if it is from a legitimate source of they are trying to fool you. Advice on how to do this can be found in the following thread and support article.
