Hi, Just got a phishing e-mail that doesn't seem to be listed in the thread above (although it is similar to the start of a couple of them) figured I'd post it here in any case and I'll forward it on to the hacks@blizzard.com address as well:

world of warcraft: Cataclysm Beta Test Invitation!

Get those opt-ins ready for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm closed beta! The sundering of Azeroth is nigh, and you don’t want to be left out in the cold of Northrend when you could be enjoying the sun-drenched beaches on the goblin isle of Kezan. To ensure you’re opted-in and eligible as a potential candidate, you’ll need a World of Warcraft license attached to your Battle.net account, have your current system specifications uploaded to the Battle.net Beta Profile Settings page, and have expressed interest through the franchise-specific check boxes.

Get the Installer - Log in to your Battle.net account: [malicious link]

** IMPORTANT ** To avoid graphical bugs and other technical issues, please ensure your video card drivers are up-to-date.

Enjoy the game!

The e-mail you posted if very reminiscent of the following posted in the sticky: (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=965511383&sid=1&pageNo=6#105). Thanks for the heads up, though, and please do forward that off to our Hacks team. :0)
