Scammers Using Jedi Mind Trick To Fool "Star Wars: The Old Republic" Fans

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than the Internet.

None

Fans had to wait over three hours to get a glimpse of Star Wars: The Old Republic at the game’s booth at PAX East this month—it’s clear that people want to get their Jedi on and they want it bad. Their fever-pitched excitement has been causing their judgment to be clouded, however; a rash of email scams has been spreading that promises victims access to the beta test for SW:TOR. The game's community coordinator says, "We must caution you that these offers are often scams designed to steal your money, credit card information, or identity.”  To be eligible for the beta, you need to sign up and only trust emails sent from no-reply@bioware.swtor.com.  Good luck and may some sort of semi-supernatural power be with you. Hell, let's call it a Force. [via GameSpy]
