Beware of unexpected verification calls claiming to be from Best Buy. These rings often use order details to gain trust, but they rarely ask for credit‑card numbers and instead request shipping or email info. Hang up immediately if you didn’t initiate a purchase, then call the official Best Buy customer‑service number found on the retailer’s website. Review recent charges, enable two‑factor authentication on your account, and consider placing a fraud alert with your bank. Report the number to the FTC or your local consumer‑protection agency. Never share personal or financial data over unsolicited calls, and keep a log of suspicious attempts for future reference.
Best Buy's customer service confirmed this as a scam, advising me to block the number and refrain from providing any information, and they are taking steps to address the issue.
On saturday morning I recived a call supposibly from Best Buy, I'm not confortable giving out my credit card informations over the phone, especialy since the message left by the indian woman sounded fishy, and the credit card number she mentioned wasnt even the one I used for my order, I will defenitly look into this further.
Someone said they was from best buy, had my order number right but the last four digit of the credit card was wrong
There were rapid back to back calls, the caller clamed to be a retailer but wouldnt give me any informations
This number is associated with a scam and should be treated with caution.
Over the course of a day, I received multiple calls regarding a $800 PC order, with the callers claiming to be from Best Buy and threatening to cancel my order if I didn't respond; after attempting to call back and finding the number non-functional, I discovered my order had indeed been canceled, suggesting the scammer may have accessed my Best Buy account.
When she called to verify an order i supposedly made, i refused to give her informations, then she just hunged up, best buy said they dont make such calls

This Best Buy scam aims to obtain personal information for hacking purposes, and the company has confirmed it as a scam.
After receiving two calls from this number while in a meeting, I tried to return the call but was unable to get through, and later discovered a nearly $1000 charge on my Citi account

Apparently, this is a scam: after making an online purchase from Best Buy, I received a call on my landline where they knew my name and asked for my address, which raised suspicions, and upon calling the real Best Buy, they informed me that they never request such information and instead send a verification text.
The claim that this number belongs to BestBuy is entirely false; it's a scam. Attempting to call it back yields no result, as it's not a functioning number.

Following my laptop order yesterday, I was contacted by a representative claiming to be from the Best Buy verification department, who verified my shipping address without requesting any sensitive information.
The caller requested name confirmation and referenced a new order, even though I hadn't provided them with any information.
They were atempting to verifiy my email adress.
Legitimacy of this number has been verified, as it belongs to Best Buy's verification department, which contacts customers to verify large purchases. The department has access to customer information, and upon not answering the call, an email was received directly from bestbuy.com, which was verified for legitimacy. The email requested additional information, such as bank name and phone number, to ensure the customer's identity, but did not ask for personal info.
Following my recent online purchase from best buy, recived a call from this number roughly 2 hours later, during wich the person on the other end knew alot of my persnal info, including my name and purchse details, leading me to belive that the so called "Secured Payment Portal" is not as secure as it claims to be.

A lady with an Indian accent asked for my informations, claiming she allready knew my name and email adress; when I requested to speak with somone fluent in Engish, she promisd to send a verification code, but it never arriwd, wich is pretty funny considerin I had just spent 1,239.15 cents on a gaming pc
The caller asked for my home address and email, which seemed unusual.
This is a legitimate call from the Best Buy verification department. They contact you when your account information doesn't match your billing details for a specific order on the Best Buy website. In my case, they requested verification of my name, the credit card holder's name, and a phone number, which they then used to contact the credit card holder to confirm the purchase. This is a fraud protection measure, and failing to verify the information may result in Best Buy not fulfilling your order.
A call was received asking for my email and home address, claiming to be from Best Buy's corporate office.
The intention behind this call is clearly deceitful, aiming to phish for sensitive information

Their purpose was to confirm the receipt of a confirmation email.
These peoples are scammers, they're trying to get my CC information, i'm not falling for it.
