Beware of Starcraft 2 Beta Scam

While Starcraft fans are waiting for hints about the upcoming Starcraft 2 beta, phishing sites are taking the advantage of the situation, by offering fake Starcraft 2 beta keys or even a downloadable Starcraft 2 beta.

But none of this is true. Phishing sites are tempting hopeful Starcraft 2 fans to visit their sites, but instead of a Starcraft 2 beta, your computer will be infected with keyloggers, trojans or other unwanted programs.

Phishing site are using a wide network of sites to spread the word of the fake beta, including YouTube videos, MySpace profiles, Blogging networks and by commenting on Starcraft related websites.

Lots of people also received a spam email that appears to be from Blizzard Entertainment, stating that you've been selected for the Starcraft 2 beta, but is infact from one of the phishing sites.

Our advice is, sign-up for Starcraft 2 Beta directly at Battle.net and wait for your beta key. Don't be tempted to try other programs or sites stating a downloadable beta is ready.
