Be warned, that there is a scam making the rounds where users are tricked into giving up personal information regarding the beta. Not sure how to report it to EA, but I guess here is as good as anywhere.

Hope it helps

I encourage all members of this forum to take to social media to let other gamers know. Facebook/twitter, or whatever your SM platform of choice is.

I got a reply back from EA, they’re aware of it, and this isn’t the first one. They keep shutting them down.

It’s best to keep threads like these off the forums, especially if you keep a link that can redirect to the offending site. We do not want more people to fall victim to these scams.

EA will handle this particular scam site so do not be alarmed.
