I got a beta invite and I can not tell if it is a legit one or not. I am really good at usually telling them apart, but this one has me stumped. It there someone I can forward this to that will be able to let me know if it is real or not? I don't want to post the email here as just in case it isn't and the link contains malicious content.

Thanks in advance!

I don't see the Battle.net account that you are currently posting from having been flagged for the beta, Ravnheart. That alone is reason enough for me to believe that this is a phishing attempt, but coupled with a few sections of the header that look a little suspicious, I would have to say that this is indeed a false e-mail. Please take a moment to forward the e-mail, in its entirety, to our Hacks Team at: hacks@blizzard.com

Q u o t e:
Ah, right. The Battle.net account link does take you to Battle.net in the official one. That'd be easily spoofed. I can't believe I overlooked that. :\

Spoofed links indeed! Once your information has been taken, well.... that's that for them. :0/

Q u o t e:
Of course, I'll still stand by my original advice: Don't click links in emails. Log in directly to your battle.net account and see if anything's changed.


That is great advice, Kodiack. I ever in doubt, check your Battle.net account. Phishing e-mail or not, they can't falsify a beta option on the official Battle.net account under your Account Management settings. :0)
