$1000 gift card promotion?

lapalmer1969 · ‎09-03-2009

I received information from a friend who said on your website (Bestbuy.com) there was a link that took you to a page to enter your email address and when he did so he received an email that said to print out the voucher sent to him and receive a $1000 gift card which he did and took it to his local store. There they scanned it and it gave him the card. Is there any truth to this? It seems very far fetched.

Thanks,

Lewis

I would say you recevied some lovely nommy spam. Deletion mandatory, Trash Can emptying optional.

If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

I saw a web site showing BB gift cards with purchases. I don't see it on BB's web site. Is it valid?

i received a text message from you and this is what it say's ok you have been randomly selected for a bestbuy gift get your 1000.00 gift card at www.bestbuy.com. youre-a-winner.net/id=bblprrpfwy

The text isn't from Best Buy. It's a scam. If it was from Best Buy it'd be at the URL "www.bestbuy.com/". As you can see from the URL you pasted, the Top LEvel Domain is "youre-a-winner.net", not "bestbuy.com".

Hi phillip63 and welcome to the forum.

It's a known scam. Do not go to the site, or give them any information. It's one of those cases of, "If it sound's too good to be true..."

Take care.
