BEWARE: of bogus cataclism beta notifications

Beware of bogus Cataclysm beta notifications. While fishing in the Dalaran Underbelly for the Giant Rat I was whispered and told "Hello Blizzard Entertainment notifies you that your WOW account has been chosen to participate in Cataclysm beta test. For more information please visit: www.wowe-cataclys#####


I have censored the url so that no-one from this site goes to it as it is a fake and an attempt to steal account login details. I reported the SPAM to Blizzard and hopefully they will take further action against the account holder and put the wheels in motion to shut down the malicious website. 
If its not from Blizzard and is not on a Blizzard website or listed in your Battle.net account its a fake, don't fall for it.


Later on while heading to Orgramar, another potenial fraudulent whisper was recieved again trying to get myself to go to an external website. NEVER follow any links that are whispered to you, report them as spam otherwise if you do go to the websites chances are your account will be stolen from you and/or items and gold will be lost.

Remember be smart and play safe
