I've been waiting for beta access for a while. I've entered a number of different contents. Today I got an email saying I won a beta key. It had the beta key in the email too.
I was all excited, so I logged into my b.net account to find out the beta key had already been claimed.
I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Contact whomever you won the key from and explain what happened, attach a screenshot of the message you get when you try to use the key, and the original email they sent you. They may issue you another key. Wouldn't hurt to ask...
Definitely be wary of a phishing scam here, though; if they ask for any of your info when you e-mail them back, you'll know that it was a scam. Be careful.

i would choose my own religion and worship my own spirit, but if he ever preached to me i wouldn't want to hear it. i'd drop him, a forgotten god, languishing in shame; and then if i hit stormy seas, i'd have myself to blame.

Will do. I will let you guys know if they respond.
Screenshot wont help in these cases tho, either the people will take his word or not.
If someone wanted to, they could claim the key, then use it again for that message, take that SS and say it was like that from the start =P
Anyway, it does seem rather odd, if it was indeed from a good contest, theres a very good chance it was just a slip of the copy and paste, but how knows.
