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.

They tried to scam me too, but they're not doing a good job. Mom didn't raise any fool here, so I'll just spam them...

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 ?

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,

thanks for choosing .

Thank you so much for taking another year's subscription

Then forgot they wrote that and said it again beneath, but better.
Epic stupid.

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that and told me to call him at 213-732-7695 if I had questions about my $399.00 renewal fee that was automatically withdrawn from my account.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!
