It's not that scam and phishing attempts are uncommon nowadays. Everyone that has an email address receives plenty of these through the year and if you are not careful you can end having serious financial issues or even worse. In the case of video gamers, scams are not unheard of, especially on MMORPGs and other types of videogames that allow interaction between players. It seems that some people are taking scamming and phishin up a notch, and now they even come up with fake beta invitations in order to gather personal data from players. That's exactly what has happened with Cyberpunk 2077.

CD Projekt Red has issued a warning to all players that have received any kind of invitation to a Cyberpunk 2077 beta via email. It seems that many players have been complaining about receiving those, and the developer has been quite fast to deny their authenticity. They have brought up this matter on the official Twitter account of the game to make sure nobody opens those emails and also specifying that if they are to contact any player for any reason via email it will come from a @cdprojektred.com address.

1/2 If you recently received an email claiming to be granting you beta access to Cyberpunk 2077, it's not from us. Unfortunately, there have been more of these being sent out over the past few weeks. When we contact you via email, it'll always come from @ cdprojektred com address
