Then I thought… you know what… I better just check my Battle.net account to see what’s what.
Well wouldn’t you just know it… no Starcraft II Beta download to be found. Hmmm…
HuntsmansLodge.com PSA
People, I urge you… beware of e-mails claiming to be a Starcraft 2 Beta invitation.
Whatever you do… DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS CONTAINED WITHIN THE E-MAIL.
Even if the e-mail looks as legitimate as this one, and contains an @blizzard.com or @battle.net return e-mail address, do not trust it.
Logging directly into your Battle.net account is the only safe way to ensure a legitimate Starcraft 2 Beta invitation. Do not be a victim of the Starcraft II Beta scams going around.
That is all.
Same thing happened to me too…
I got an invite from them and I am a Mac User but my account fails to show support for SC2…
I got this too and it seems like there’s a lot of people who have.
It looks like blizzard sent out a lot of mac user opt-in invites but didn’t activate the account.
Hopefully that’s the case. 🙂
The only way to truly know is to ask Blaq.
Blaquespell, are you out there..? Any idea whether this is a legit e-mail or not? Did Blizz drop the ball with mac users?
Just curious, how do you know this is a scam? All of the links in the e-mail are legit and the header information all checks out. There is even a thread on the SC2 forums and one of the moderators has confirmed this as a legit e-mail.
I assumed it was a hoax due to the absence of the SC2 Beta d/l in my account.
I Googled the subject of this e-mail and found other users claiming it was a phishing attempt. If it is in fact real, I’ll just wait to see when SC2 is an option in my account.
If you still have a key, I’d love one as well. My email is my username at gmail.
I also got this same email. The links do go to battle.net, and the email headers look absolutely legitimate. Oh well 🙁
I see you’re using a mac!
I actually got a legitimate invitation. I went to my battle.net, and what is there:
No driver to install the mac version!!! So I can’t do anything with my invitiation.
Not to sound stupid, but can’t you just preorder it through Amazon or Gamespot and get a beta key with purchase? They say it takes up to 5 days to get the code, but most people have been getting their’s quicker.
Ooh! I’ll have to look into that. If pre-ordering one guarantees you a beta key, that seems like a no-brainer to me.
To me that looks like legit SC2 beta invite. Looking through it, its same word for word like the one I got.
Where do the links inside the mail lead? Not to battle.net?
PS If you want and this isn’t a legit inv, I can mail you a SC2 beta inv key. Got 2 additional already.
if you would like to send me one, that would be awesome, i really got my hopes up with this email -_-
email is – bigj0100@yahoo.com
Thanks for the offer kaiken. I think what I’ll do is contact Blizz asking them about the legitimacy of this e-mail. If it is cool… If not, then I’ll try to work my mojo for an invite.
I’ll post an update to this if I turn out to be wrong in my assumption. If you still have the key(s), and provided I don’t have one yet, I’ll hit you up. 🙂
