Expert Opinion
Watch out for calls claiming to be from Best Buy and asking to verify a recent purchase. Verification requests can sound legitimate, but scammers often use the retailer’s name to pry for personal or payment details. Never share credit‑card numbers, passwords, or personal address information unless you’ve initiated the call through an official Best Buy channel. If you receive an unexpected call, hang up and call the company back using the number on your receipt or the official website. Keep a record of the caller ID and any voicemail, and report suspicious numbers to the FTC or your phone carrier. Staying cautious protects your accounts.
