Got this email the other day about this "Renewal" for $654... freaked me out so I Googled Geek Squads number of course it's not the same so I Googled the 800 number in the email and of course it pulls up the scam! I haven't purchased anything from Best Buy in prob 15 years so I knew something wasn't right! DON'T FALL FOR IT AND DON'T CALL THE NUMBER PERIOD IN ANY EMAIL YOU RECEIVE.

I just went through this same thing a few minutes ago. When I started questioning the person I was talking to he wanted me to go to my computer. I told him that I was not going to do that and the person hung up on me. He knew I was on to what was going on. There's so many people though that would fall for this and loose a lot of money.

I called the number also because I received the email today. What will happen if you call the number . I gave them no information except the order id number that was on the email. I did not order anything or give out any account information or even my name. What do I need to do?

remove

I got this email today

I pannicked and called the number to cancel..and someone picked up (answered) but kept me muted. Didnt speak.

I then google searched "best buy geek squad auto renewal email"..and found its a known issue. So im hoping I wont be debited nearly $300 for this service (from my savings account) which, them saying that, was the tip off to cause me suspicion that this was a phishing scam...because I dont use my savings account nobody has it! So whoever is writing these scam emails, based on all the other ones I saw people post, writes it different every time..same message..

Different verbiage, and makes stupid mistakes like this...in every email. Almost like English isnt their 1st language. Stupid grammer and spelling and obvious untruths are easy to spot.

So heres the copy of the email I got today; (nov 2nd 2021, 930am);

HI Xxxxx Xxxxx,

(I blanked my name for privacy reasons)

thanks for choosing .

Thank you so much for taking another year's subscription

You will be charged $ 283.02 USD from your banking savings account for this product.

My scam was from this guy who said he was with geeK security systems of something like that and told me to call him at 213-732-7695 if I had questions about my $399.00 renewal fee that was automatically withdrawn from my account. The upper case K was a dead giveaway. I contacted BestBuy Customer Service and they assured me that nothing was charged to my account, and I sent screen shots of the email to abuse@bestbuy.com. I knew that GEEKsquad will not automatically renew an amount for that much, and since I just bought a 3-year plan in May, I’m probably not up for renewal yet unless time really does fly that quickly!

It's really pathetic that Best Buy / the Geek Squad doesn't have enough social conscience to aid in a remedy to help fix this computer issue for those of us that have fallen into this trap. As a senior on social security their solution offered ($249.99) to remedy my problem was not much of a solution.

remove

Is there anything that you can do if you have fallen for this.

remove

Thank you for all of the great info. I also got the same messages as shown above. I immediately called the number and told some guy that said his name was Eric Richard. He had asked me if I was in front of my computer. I told him no, it's at home and I'm at work . He then asked me when I would be in front of my computer and I said in 5 1/2 hours. So he said to be sure to call him and it would walk me through the cancellation form. Needless to say, I don't plan to call back.

remove

My email said $349.99

their telephone # was 1(800)240-7479

they had a severe accent, and they were directing me to a website where they could remotely control my laptop!

I just hung up. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM

remove

Best Buy "Maxx Geeksquad" fake $346 support email. Here's the new number in the email: (800) 740-7579

remove

They almost got me today! I've included the email at the bottom of my post.

When I saw the amount I panicked. I NEVER fall for these! I knew we bought our daughter's computer around 3 years ago from BB so I thought this was legit and I didn't have the money they were about to take.

So I called the 800#. Me, who always researches these numbers (how I found my way here). I fell for it. A guy with an Indian accent answered the phone. I explained I didn't have the money so he said I could cancel using an online cancelation form. I told him I'll be happy to look it up and do so when he said he could send me the form over the phone so it would be faster. I agreed.

He asked if I had an iPhone or android, so I told him which, then I received a text from 315-712-2284 with a link to the playstore to install an app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.quicksupport.market).

I was dumb and stared installing the app. Once it was done he asked what the 6 digit code was on my screen. That's when I read thru my screen and saw the app was so they could remotely control my phone. When I questioned why they needed to control my phone when I could just get the cancelation form online, he insisted it was so he could send it to me.

This is when my brain finally caught on to what was going on. I quickly uninstalled the app while he was on the phone with me (so not to make him suspicious that I knew) and then told him I felt like I was being scammed. He asked why I felt that way so I told him I would just run up to BB and do this in person, after I stopped by the Sheriff’s Office first. He laughed and hung up.

The sad part is, while I was on the phone with him I heard multiple people in the background answering their "Geek Squad" phone calls. MULTIPLE! At least I caught on in enough time but how many innocent people did not. :(

Here is the email I received:

hello, I recived this email

Should I be concerned? What should I do?

remove

The phone number I got yesterday (August 12th) was 800-471-6568

remove

My email yesterday was similar to others but showed the sender as BB Order Confirmed. If I had looked further into the actual sender’s email address, I would have been more suspicious. (infos@geek-departments.xyz)

The email was like those mentioned- no spelling or grammatical errors, no strange images- totally legit looking especially seeing that the date they sent it was INDEED the date I used Geek Squad several years ago. I just knew that I hadn’t been charged any following years after that so I was confused why I would still have an open account. The phone number on mine was 1 (805) 600-9577. When I called it, a man answered from what seemed like a personal phone and asked my order number. I hung up to investigate my own records. When I called back realizing the date was like my first purchase, it went to voicemail. Today I called the official geek squad number and the rep verified that I do not have an active account and told me to send the email to abuse@bestbuy.com

remove

Received this number in a very legit looking e-mail on 8/6/21: 1 (805) 553-6126.

And the same e-mail as someone noted above: mail@geek-orders.xyz

remove

1 (912) 509-0980 From Savannah, GA. I don’t have the same banking information when I bought my computer so I know it’s a scam

remove

Received same email today- number used (408)641-3859. the renewal charge was $798.99! I think I win the prize for highest dollar amount!

remove

I received the email today, August 6, 2021 so it is still circulating. The phone number was 1-334-595-5080.

remove

I also received an email this morning, but the customer support number was 855-430-0773 and the charge was $449.99.

I knew it was a scam, because I've never used Geek Squad. They also started the email with "Dear %User_name%"

remove

Another scam phone number they use (from BE)

(848) 272-5181

remove

My father got one similar today. The phone number that was used was : 800-901-7539.

remove

I received this email today. The number was different, but the email definitely looked legit - even had the BestBuy logo on it. The email sender was mail@geek-orders.xyz so that tipped me off. When I called the number (334-595-5080), and asked questions they hung up on me.

remove

Rec'd an email today re this and it was obvious it was a scam with the phone number listed as 1.80.0.22.475,4.1

remove

Here's another scam phone number 800 956-0225. Be careful. It looks so legit.

remove

I received 5 different ones this morning. Amazing.

remove

They almost got me today; they transferred all my money from my savings to my checking account but while I'll my was talking to the. I checked my account on my phone and saw they transferred all my money. I immediately transferred it back to my savings account unplugged my computer and hung up and called my bank they locked my account and they didn't get a dime
