What is the Geek Squad email scam?
The Geek Squad email scam is a phishing scam when cybercriminals pretend to be employees of the electronic shop’s Best Buy subsidiary company Geek Squad. They send out phishing emails aiming to get sensitive information from you. There are several types of phishing emails. Here are some examples:
Auto-renewal scams. You receive a warning about the auto-renewal of the Best Buy subscription and a potential loss of a large amount of money and are urged to cancel it by providing your sensitive information like credit card details and SSN (Social Security Number). Phishing emails containing links or attachments with malware. Geek Squad’s scammers pretend to be technicians and warn you about malware infections, offering to download antivirus software. Of course, the downloaded file will contain malware and will be used to gain access to your device. Fake Best Buy’s p**sword reset scam. You receive an email stating that your attempt to reset a p**sword hasn't worked. The email contains a link to the phishing site that looks like a legit Best Buy page. This way, scammers can steal your information and use it to log in to your account. The emails appear legit and may contain some documents attached (like the order information, invoice, or something similar). Some phishing emails may sound like this:
