Don't think I'll bother clicking anything on the message other than delete.  :-)

same message as above

Just to warn all of you there is a Best Buy test message scam going on right now.  I received the test and looked it up on line because I rarely give my cell # out so thought it was fake.  The test is telling you that you are Today's Contest winner and have 24 hours to reply.  DON'T REPLY IT IS A PHISHING SCAM.  The number it is coming from is 1-347-416-2280.  I look it up on FB Best Buy Canada page and this link was in their timeline:
