Our Account Administration team does not send out beta invitations, hence this e-mail is surely a scam. Invitations will generally not be signed by an individual no matter who sends it.

To be absolutely sure, don't click the links in the e-mail but try enter the key and details at the beta signup page: https://beta.wow-europe.com/expansion/

Edit: deleted a couple of replies saying the mail in the first post is legit, as it's not. ;-)

Q u o t e:
Could you please clarify, how is it possible that some people claim that they have transfered their character?

They received a legit e-mail and beta key, I guess. There have been invitations going out, so not all mails are scams. I was just saying the one in the first post definitely is a scam. ;-)
