Microsoft warns of Halo 4 beta scam
As the old adage goes: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Such is the case with fake Halo 4 beta invite pages, which have apparently been set up by some unscrupulous people. 343 Industries’ David Ellis warned fans not to fall for the trick.The warning was tweeted (via CVG): “If you see a page claiming to allow you to sign up for a Halo 4 beta be advised, IT’S A FAKE.” Though Ellis didn’t mention specific sites making the offer, it seems likely these were phishing scams.Microsoft hasn’t officially announced a beta or even given a firm release date for Halo 4. The game is slated for holiday 2012, so if a beta is planned we would expect it to hit in mid-to-late summer. Right now would be way too premature, which should serve as another warning sign for would-be suckers.
