Is my Cata Beta Invite Real?

There are lots of fake phishing emails that pretend to offer beta invites if you "verify" your account.

Beta invites will be added automatically to your battle.net account in the same way that Starcraft II beta invites have been, so if you recieve an email saying its about the beta, do not click or follow any links in the email, but manually go to http://eu.battle.net and log in there, click on "Account", if you have indeed been selected for Beta, you will see it listed as per the image below:-


To "Opt in" for the chance to be invited into the Cataclysm Beta (this does NOT mean you are guaranteed a beta spot), go to eu.battle.net and sign in, and click "Beta Profile Settings" and ensure you have uploaded your PC specs using the tool there, and ensure World of Warcraft is ticked.
