Looks like a scam to me, especially since I have no idea who these people are. The e-mail address looks funny too. It's is sent to 100's of email addresses, (many looking like e-mail lists from companies like Macafee), that look like they were copied and hope that someone would be dumb enough to respond.

I just listed it as spam on my Gmail list & deleted it

If you're referring to your initial post, it did with me.
SO many people fall for it though.
"I didn't buy that, I better call them and get the charge reversed"...
And THAT's what they are counting on people doing.


Sorry, I meant no harm. I thought double dog dare and a smiley face were dead giveaways.

Oh, they'll name drop any company if they think the recipient will not catch the non-association.

Someone told me to check the email address things come from. I get things like your Amazn account has expired. First the name is spelt wrong, second even if not spelt wrong the senders address makes no sense. The amazing thing is how many times I get the same notice, but from an ever changing email address, so they go to junk folder, but are not blocked entirely.


They also find out who your health insurance company is and call. No end to scams.

First of all Best Buy Total Tech charges are only $175.00 and they would allready have your credit card info to charge the yearly fee. Check the email address it will be nowhere close to Bestbuy.com. DELETE and move on.
