Expert Opinion
Whoa, these alerts sound like the classic gift‑card scam hitting your inbox. The messages mimic a popular retailer, toss in a bogus website and a PIN, and push a false urgency to trick you into clicking. Never follow unknown links or share personal info—legitimate companies will never ask for a PIN via text. If you suspect a scam, block the number, report it to your carrier, and forward the content to the FTC at [email protected]. Keep your device’s security settings up‑to‑date and consider a spam‑filter app for extra protection.

At 1am this morning, I received a text claiming I had won a gift card for an entry allegedly made last month, with a 24-hour deadline to claim it; notably, the number and pin were identical, and the area code matched mine
The same text message was received, but Best Buy claimed no knowledge of it and apologized.

I recieved a text claiming I'd won a $1000 gift card from Best Buy, and instructions to visit bestbuygc.net and enter 8228 to claim it, sounds fishy.
