They sent email telling me my subscription auto-renewed, and to cancel it I had to call their 1-800 number. I do not have a subscription with them, so it would not be renewing.

Received email requesting payment of $202.00 for "continued tech supoort" when I called the number I was advised for this "alleged" tech support...I advised we have never used their support....I was advised I will be billed.....I contacted the credit cards we use and had alerts as well as on my personal banking acct. Note we have "never" used Geek Squad" and will not use them in the future.

Scammer emailed me today, July 27,2021 and said that I will automatically be charged $399 on the next day of July 28,202.

The email included the phone number if I wish to call to cancel. I looked up the company phone number of Geek Squad and it didn’t match. I immediately looked up on the ScamPulse.com website about Geek Squad scams and saw that this email was verbatim the scam.

I received an email from the Billing Team for Geek Squad (appeared to be) stating that my annual renewal was processing today. I called the number and a rep proceeded to take me through this cancellation process. I was asked to download TeamViewer which I thought was odd. Then he had me open this request form and add some generic information there. He was adamant about not being able to refund back to the credit or debit card. That's when everything went sideways and I became very uncomfortable because I didn't understand what was happening. He then said a link would be sent to my bank and I would have to open it. My bank is small and doesn't send messages through the account online. After no message, he quickly said there would be no charge and ended the call. I called back and got a different rep and I formed them that I would be reporting them as a scam. He said "and what are they going to do? What are you going to do? Nothing but lick my *****!".

Recieved an email with a confirmation number from Geek squad saying I purchased computer protection in the amount of $197 plus $5 service tax and it also stated I was enrolled in auto renewal. Contacted someone that speaks broken English and a kid screaming in the background. Told him I didn’t sign up for a damn thing for Geek squad. So he asked if I wanted to cancel! Of course I said cancel and he said ok I’ll do it and hung up.

I received an e-mail informing me that my subscription was being automatically renewed for $249.99. I did buy a tv from Best Buy this summer, but I didn’t remember buying any service contracts. By checking online for the possibility of a Geek Squad scam, I found this site and that assured me it is a scam.

I received an invoice email this AM from Geek Squad thanking me for my purchase. My order number is: *************** in the amount of $842.72. This email (invoice) states that the products have been shipped to my address through their preferred carrier. The invoice (email) further states that my checking account / card will be charged the $842.72 within 2-3 business days.

The scam was an invoice with the heading of Geek Squad sent to me by email with the message "thank you for ordering product with us", and the invoice listed order No: ******************* The invoice listed Defender Firewall and was for $468.75 I called Discover ID Protection that I have and they told me phone number was ******************** and gave me a correct number which I will not list or call. I've received 2 invoices like this in about 6 months. I did not make this order and as far as I know the firewall isn't compatible with my type of computer. I don't want anything to do with Geek Squad and will not make contact or acknowledge them.

As of to date I don't know if the criminals got into my bank account, so I don't know if they stole anything yet.

We renewed our yearly agreement with Geek Squad. We received an email from supposedly Geek Squad stating an amount was deducted from our account and was saying they just deducted it in June. We renewed with Geek Squad around April. The amount didn't match what we paid either. We decided to call the number to see what this was all about and we also wanted to cancel because we were not in need of the service anymore. We asked to cancel and they had us download some kind of software to have the cancellation take place. They also were of India maybe Nigerian decent. And of course had American names. I told my husband that this is not a normal way to cancel something. But we continued until it got to wanting us to download a cancellation form which would give them access to our account. That is where it stopped. This guy got angry when we stopped the process. It was unbelievable. We were concerned because we did download their software but we never gave them any information. So hopefully they can not access anything.

They sent an email to my address thanking me for my business and charging me $399.51 for " Advance Geek Squad Protection". WARNING: I didn't realize at 1st because I had another real email from Geek Squad, but when my daughter and I were checking our account with the actual customer assistance we realized their email had NO Logo and a personal email address; [email protected]. I contacted Bestbuy again and they had me forward the email for investigation.

ON 6/2/21 received email claiming to be Geek Squad with bill saying I owe $299 renewal of Protection360. Never had, wanted, or ordered it. Said to call 855-527-2753 if wanted to cancel. I called "cancel, no prior service". Said they can't help cancel because they can't see when I paid last. Wanted credit card info and I said they claim I had service so they must have my info & account number. Scammer became very unprofessional and completely rude and belligerent. They sent email with supposed pdf attachment of invoice which I refused to open. When I wanted more info on them, they hung up on me. Please be aware there is a lot of similar calls and emails out there with same call back phone number claiming to be Geek Squad. There is as real company by that name but they do not handle business in this manner.
