Right now at the top of my screen theres an add for free sc2 beta keys.

I'm looking at the site and it's throwing around tl.net's name. This doesn't look that legitimate.

Few things are Free in this world, and those things that are free typically come with strings attached, or are simply free because they're worthless.

Edit: This advice x1000 for anything on the internet.

Here's another one:
http://www.downloadstarcraft.com/starcraft-2-beta-invite.html

Don't fall for it. They are simple hoping to scam a lot of money in little amounts. Don't let the realistic site fool you either. The only true way (although technically shouldn't be allowed) is to buy the Blizzcon scratch cards on eBay.
Live forever or die trying.

It's kind of funny if Blizzard claims the site isn't 'legit' since even if it's 100% true it's still the opposite of legit.

only way i can really see this being true is if blizzard actually wants to make it look like it is hard to get into beta, while they really want as many people as possible in it (which probably isnt the case). and as murlox, shows he is from china, so definitely not blizzard based, definitely a scam to get email addresses to spam.

im going to submit the email of the creator of the site, so he actually spams himself lol
