Don’t let the excitement of the upcoming Battlefield 3 beta cause a serious error in judgment. Community site BF3blog points out that the “beta keys” on the site BF3nation are a scam — also noting that the site’s owners were also involved in a previous phishing scheme. EA has allegedly been trying to shut down the site, but has so far been unsuccessful.

When the Battlefield 3 beta is upon us, trust that you’ll definitely hear about it from your buddies at Joystiq … oh yeah, and the rest of the internet. It won’t be something that’ll fly under the radar. In the meantime, assume anything that involves BF3 beta keys is a scam. We’ve contacted EA for a direct quote on the subject.
