Why? Because there is no Grand Theft Auto V beta. This is a battle that Take-Two has been fighting for a little while now, starting back in February when the company shut down getgtavbeta.com, followed by betagtav.com; now the publisher is taking on four other Grand Theft Auto V domains. This week, Take-Two filed complaints with the Wold Intellectual Property Organization against gta5betacode.com and grandtheftauto5beta.com, both cases being viewable on the WIPO website as case numbers D2013-0490 and D2013-0489. In the case of grandtheftauto5beta.com, there's no website to speak of yet, while gta5betacode.com has a website, Facebook page with over 1,000 Likes, and a YouTube account. If you're curious how the scams work, they start by getting you to spread it through Facebook. From there, you get "Get Your Key!," go to another site, select your console, and download a file to your computer. Regardless, don't fall for that nonsense.

	Sadly, this happens with pretty much any major upcoming release these days. The scammers immediately set up hundreds of sites usually redirecting people to endless surveys which they gain money from, almost always including a component that requires people to "like" it on FB to spread further. This trick is as old as the hills and I'd have thought people would be wise enough not to sit there filling out large numbers of surveys by now. Guess it's still worth their while though. Don't fall for it. indeed. ------------------- --[ReQuests, Feedback and Suggestions]--[Site/Forums Help and QA]--[Forumwide Rules]--[Forumwide FAQ]--[Supermods on Duty]--[@NeoDynamite]--

	I guess most people dont understand that you cant download a file (in this case, the gta beta) and put it into your console and play it. Surely that already sounds as dodgy as it gets?? -------------------

	Why can't people just wait until the game is released. I'd rather just wait for the finished version that play some beta version first, because then when the finished product comes out it will just seem so much better.

	quote magsasaka never mind the scammers rockstar just get on with finishing the game!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO This is funny, and I am guessing you probably meant it that way. For anyone thinking there is a serious point here, remember that Rockstar is a big enough company that they have different departments, which include, among others, a development team and a legal department. Hahahaha So I promise you that the many, many fine men and women who are tasked with developing the game are NOT abandoning their posts and running from their dev PCs into the legal trenches to join the war while, wringing their hands and going after the scammers. The legal department is. -------------------
