thanks - not Michael replies to DebCall your credit card company and cancel the card. Do it NOW. Quick before the scammers spend all of your money. The number is on the back of the card and on your statement.
You can look up the number by typing it in the "Phone Number Search" box on the right side of this page. The Best Buy Gift Card scammers are using lots of different numbers. The number that called you may not have been reported here yet. - JC"You;ve been PreSelected to Win a 1000$ BestBuy Gif Card!

- clevepreachMine came through at 2:04 a.m. local time on a Monday morning from 201-539-0401. It must have been sent from the Eastern Time Zone as the "send time" was an hour later. It stated that I had been chosen to win a $1,000.00 gift card from Best Buy. All I have to do is go to http://bestbuygift.mobi and enter code 7777 to receive it. Since I have never bought anything from Best Buy I thought it might be a scam. Now I am convinced it is.
