Got an email from the Geek Squadd (red flag when the name is misspelled!) The email stated my subscription was expiring today and was auto-renewed. It said I had been charged $321.14. In order to cancel, I was to call 15103232651 within 48 hours. Fortunately, when I called, it would not go through. That is when I got suspicious and looked online and found this site. Thank you for helping me avoid being scammed.

I got two emails from with a headline "RENEWED! Service Plan ([a long number]) for ..."

They claim to have renewed the service plans for 3 devices, at a cost of USD $391.99. I am instructed to call +1 (808) 431-5486.

I called, the phone rang about 20 times and a man with a south Asian voice answered. I asked him where he was located and for whom he worked, and he said Salt Lake City, Utah, and when pressed, he said his supervisor was David ... Mike. I asked for a last name, and he said "Mike Budd" or "Bird" or something like that. I pressed him for Mike's phone number, and he gave me 385-666-9994.

The "View As PDF" link was not actually a link (just text).

I sent an email via Best Buy website stating that I wanted to cancel a service plan. Best Buy uses Greek Squad for technical support. I receive an email from Geek squad saying that they had successfully receive and request saying the following:

When I called number, they ensure me that this was not a scam. I give permission for them to log onto my PC and I logged in my Chase account for them to refund the money (stupid) Then they proceed to say they was something wrong with their system and said they had wrongfully transferred $2600 to my account. That's when they are me to go to Walmart (2 $500), Kroger (5 $200) and CVS (1 $500) to get gift cards (Big Red flag). Thinking it was legit I did it and gave them the information on the cards and sent a copy via email ([email protected]). Refund Token email sent:

I was told not to log back in the Chase account for a while. Which I did and that when I found out that they had transferred $2600 (which is all we had) from my saving to my checking and pretended to have credited the wrong amount back. That's when I instructed to go get the gift cards.

Got this message today on my husbands phone...glad we are smart enough to not assume it's real.

Received email stating a tech support warranty has run out and is being automatically being renewed for $449.00. Charges are being charged to the account on file. Included a serial number and order number along with a breakdown of charges for a 3-year renewal. Email came from a personal gmail account.

We received a text message saying our Geek Squad subscription was renewed and we were charged $189 and some cents. We never opened it but could see that much information in the context part of text. We have not had a Geek Squad subscription in years. I really do not like scammers.

Instead of the companies name and just talked in circles about the subscription and then hung up on me. I contacted Best Buy, and they are aware that this scam is out there. Their renewal subscription cost is $199.99 annually.

I received an email from a company called geek squad. I am familiar that there is a company that works through Best Buy with that name so I thought it was legit. The email stated that I was going to be charged for a renewal membership for $312.41. The email gave me a phone number to call if I wanted to cancel it. Once I called that number it had me log in to my computer and enter in a website. It then had me open my wells fargo acct so that they could "reimburse me for the charges that were pending". They then tried to steal $15,000 from my credit card. Once I realized what they were doing, I clicked off of the tabs to close them and instantly got cussed out by the represenatives.

My girlfriend got a text from Geek Squad about a billing for $529.78. It said to call 800-486-3102 for cancellation modification. I called and spoke to a woman, she said I should call back in 15 minutes.

Email Recieved stating that my subscription from geek squad would be auto renewed and charged to my account for the sum of $231.70. It had a number if I wanted to cancel. I called the number, and a man with a Indian accent picked up the phone. I told him that I never had a subscription for this and asked him the name of the person it was under. He said another name, not mine. And said another state, in which I do not live in. I asked him the account that was being charged, and he would not tell me, he said I had to get in the computer and fill out a form so that it would be canceled and I could be refunded. After a lot of back and forth he finally hung up the phone when he realized I wasn't to Going to give him any information
