Lich King Beta Key Scam
Filed Under News
There’s been a recent rash of phishing emails claiming to be from Blizzard and offering the chance to get into the Wrath of the Lich King beta.
It claims to come from ‘WotLK Development Team <wotlkBETA@blizzard.com>’ and reads:

But, the actual link takes you to http://wowtlk-beta.awardspace.co.uk/index.html where you’re asked for your username and password for your World of Warcraft account which (obviously) you should never provide outside the actual World of Warcraft website.
Just an FYI to let everyone know this scam is going around.
