Type of a scam Tech Support
Made the mistake of answering this call which showed the area code in which I live and it was a recording saying they would continue my Geek Squad coverage (which I have had in the past) in the amount of $369 I think it was by me hanging up or I could press 1 (I think it was 1) if I had any questions. So I knew I didn't want to press 1 and I was afraid to hang up because that gave them tacit approval for a transaction I didn't want! Made a phone call to my bank to see if any transaction like that was occurring. Made a call to my Best Buy card and to Best Buy subscriptions before I felt, finally, that my hanging up did not automatically take money from me!

You will receive an email notifying that you signed up for Geek Squad. I called to investigate and cancel subscription which I had no knowledge of setting up. The scammer will ask you to get on a computer or laptop to send you a form and they will walk you through it of filling out the form to get a refund. I questioned the scammer of how did they get my banking or credit card to even set up in order to get a refund in the first place. Right away I told them that I was going to tge Geek Squad at Best buy and to my banks to alert such transactions. The scammer tried to convince me that that would not be necessary.

Issues With this transaction?
NOTE: THIS REPORTED ON LINE COMPUTER SERVICE SCAMMED ME TWO YEARS AGO OUT OF $ 499.99
I solicited their support, thinking that they were Geek Squad owned by Best Buy. THEY ARE NOT
They took control of my computer for 1/2 day, claimed that there were malicious viruses on my computer and charged me to add Webroot and Malbytesware software. They did not correct my wifi access problem with turned out later to be a hardware issue with my laptop (another computer repair company fixed my computer). Their 499.99 charge reportedly was for 2 more years of tech support which I never used, thinking that their company was going to steal info from my computer.

I received an email saying - Order Processed for an annual subscription for Geek Squad Antivirus protection and there was a receipt attached, which noted Geek Squad. The email didn't come from a business but I responded and said to cancel as I didn't make this purchase. I followed- up with a phone call to the number on the receipt and they asked me "did I want to cancel or purchase". My response was, that I didn't purchase anything so I have nothing to cancel. The person ( male middle eastern accent- Arab) repeated the same question and then hung up.

I received an email from “Geek Squad Tech Support” regarding a renewal. I don’t have an account with them. They had my full name, an order number, an account number and a membership number along with my email.
I called the number the person on the other end when I told him I never signed up for this he said he could credit my account. Of course I did not give him ANY of my personal information. And said he would take care of it from his end and call if there was a problem and hung up.

A few years ago I accepted an online help product. I never used it so I decided to cancel it. Well you can’t just cancel a subscription to anything that easily. I was on the phone for 4 hours yesterday trying to cancel this service. He said he would help me get my money back and it went so wrong I can’t explain everything that happened but I was a fool and I know it. He had me buy a gift card

Received unsolicited email supposedly from James Greg at Geek Squad for automatic renewal of a 2-year maintenance plan. There was a fake invoice number. Charge of $499.99. It said we had 2 days in which to cancel. It gave the number to call. Since we receive this type of email periodically, we knew it was scam and didn’t want anyone to bite their bait.

I contacted them twice. Would not send confirmation for a day or two that this supposed transaction was cancelled. Told me they could not tell me or provide me with how the monetary transaction was conducted…credit card, debit card, yet later insisted nothing was charged. They had no supervisor I could speak with. They said it was an auto renewal inspire of the fact I have never made an online purchase with Best Buy or the Geek Squad. I told them I would contact the Bwtter Business Bureau. They replied, go ahead.
I DO NOT KNOW IF I WAS ACTUALLY CHARGED OR IF MY IDENTITY INFORMATION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. Please be warned and please help.

Type of a scam Phishing
They are trying to scam me and others.
They are telling me they are going to bill me $330.00 for my subscription to the “Geek squad”
I called to say I did not authorize such a charge.
To “help me fix it” they tried to gain access to my computer.
I did not allow them to do so, and the hung the phone.
I called a second time and they tried the same trick.
I just asked him to tell me which credit card they were going to bill me on.
Since I tried to get the number to call for their “billing” department, they said like ok, we will not charge you.
This is a scam targeting seniors and if you can do anything to help others, it would be one more group of thieves hit by police.
