Star Wars: The Old Republic: Beware the Scammers

Bioware devs have posted a new warning for fans thinking they're receiving a beta key or buying a Star Wars: The Old Republic account. The team reminds fans that the procedure for beta invites and key giveaways have been outlined on the official site and those are the only authentic methods.
Furthermore, the sale of accounts with access to the Game Testing Program is strictly prohibited by the Game Testing Agreement. We closely monitor the activities of all accounts involved in the Game Testing Program, and are quick to notice accounts that change hands. In the event that an account in the Game Testing Program does change ownership, we immediately take action to the fullest extent possible, including permanently banning the account from the Service.
When we send out invites to the Game Testing Program, the first step is receiving an e-mail from no-reply@bioware.swtor.com. After you receive this e-mail, you will also be able to see the invitation and further instructions at www.swtor.com/tester (if you are logged in to your account). You may encounter e-mail scams that indicate you have been invited to the Game Testing Program - please make sure to thoroughly examine the e-mail and don't click any links unless you are sure it is authentic (make sure to expand the information about the sender, and check for spelling errors or other tricks that scammers often use). If you receive an e-mail and are in doubt or are concerned about its validity, please forward your concerns to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com.

I sure wish someone loved me enough to give me a beta key, or even a fake scammer beta key would suffice I guess!
Gimme both your emails and ill give you my copy of SWTOR *gives a sinister smirk*
Graphics for the entire game are good; the cutscenes really show off what the XBox can do. Sound is good, too, with the familiar Star Wars music actually playing a more subtle role than in other games based on the series. The voice acting is uniformly good.
lol, the game isnt even open beta and already scams are running.
Even if I got a real beta key I would probably just delete it anyways, The Idea of the game sounds better than what it will be IMO.
Bloody scammers. Just another thing to prove the worlds social attitude is wrong.
When will people grow up and realize that it's bad to behave in ways like this. It shows immature, inconsiderate, self-obsessed behavier. Money, money, money, moan, moan, moan, me, me, me, now, now, now.
Life isn't about anything. We are a tiny spec of nothingness on a tiny planet in a huge universe with hundreads of billions of galaxies with a ridiculous amount of stars and planets. We may as well treat each other with the respect we all deserve as we are very lucky to be concious and be able to think.
