If you get an email that looks like this one below, please make sure the links leads you to the official page.
| Quote: | Wrath of the Lich King Beta Test
You have been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King . Welcome!
In the beta test you ll get an opportunity to test the first zones of the new Northrend continent, and the new levels above 70. We look forward to your feedback on the overall experience, including quests, monsters, zones, aesthetics, and more. We would also appreciate reports on any bugs you may encounter. These can be logged using the /bug command explained below.
Getting started:
In order to participate in the beta test, you must upgrade an existing retail account that has been upgraded with The Burning CrusadeŽ, allowing you to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King test realms. The World of WarcraftŽ: The Burning CrusadeŽ game client that you use must be patched up to version 2.4.2 or later in order to install the beta test client.
Go to https://www.wow-europe.com/betaconfirm and follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions to begin playing the Wrath of the Lich King beta.
Please be prepared to enter the current retail World of Warcraft account name and password you use, and the appropriate beta code listed below to authenticate your eligibility to connect to the Wrath of the Lich King test realms. To participate in the beta tests, you must have a valid retail World of Warcraft account active and in good standing as of July 15, 2008.
Below is a beta code that will allow you to upgrade a World of Warcraft account to be eligible for the Wrath of the Lich King beta test. Each beta code can be used only once to upgrade an active retail World of Warcraft account.
This is where the key was, but to prevent noobish actions i removed it.
Please retain this email for your records. If you experience any issues setting up the beta account or accessing the test realms, please email Billing Support at wowbetabilling@blizzard.com.
Sending us feedback:
Typing /bug in chat will open an error reporting interface, and we encourage you to use it any time you encounter a problem or want to send us a suggestion.
Troubleshooting:
If you experience any difficulties installing the beta game client, or have problems connecting to the test realms, please contact Technical Support either by posting on the appropriate forum at https://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/forums or by email at wowbetatech@blizzard.com. Please remember that this software is still undergoing development, so any in-game issues should be reported using the /bug feature. |

I don't think you've made your point very clear with this post.
Basically, do not click the links in that email.
Note that is is https:// and not http://
Other than the dodgey links, they look like a viable email from Blizzard, but read the links carefully because if it is https like that one, the chances are, you are about to get keylogged when you click it ;)

Err - Sorry Xzrek, https:// vs http:// doesn't make an iota difference in what site you are connecting to. The only difference is that the former uses encryption while the latter does not. It is not a sign of getting keylogged.
Usually there will be some difference between the real deal and a keylogging link but that one isn't going to be it. Ever.
