Beware of fake “COD5″ Beta Invites

Post by Skeithex »

This is a bit more widespread than I originally thought when I sent out the warning on twitter (@fourzerotwo and @Infinity_Ward) earlier today, but there is a FAKE email going out to people which appears to come from COD5BETA @ infinityward.com (see above).

If you receive one, just delete it. Don’t open it, reply, or click any links - it’s fake and could contain a virus or be an attempt to phish personal information. The body of the email is an exact replica of the one I sent out during the COD4 Beta, except they’ve replaced all references of Call of Duty 4.

For the record, there is no beta. Believe me, if we were having a beta, I’d be screaming it from every internet rooftop from Twitter to Forums. We have yet to even officially announce our next project, let alone a beta for it. Although, it is kind of flattering to think Spammers think a beta for our next game is luring enough to get people to open. WATCH OUT Penis Enlargement spam mail, there’s a new kid on the block!

Wow, Phising and virus infection are coming from gaming related e-mails, but I think most people won't be fooled by this e-mail since it is not from Activision.
