Scammers are impersonating Geek Squad, a well-known tech support service from Best Buy, to trick consumers into providing personal information. These phishing scams typically involve fraudulent emails that appear to be Geek Squad invoices, claiming that a payment has been made or is due.

The goal of these emails is to provoke a reaction—often prompting the recipient to call the phone number provided in the message to dispute the charge. However, these phone numbers do not connect to Geek Squad. Instead, they lead directly to scammers who will attempt to steal personal and financial information under the guise of verifying or canceling the fraudulent charge.

A key red flag of these phishing attempts is the lack of personalization—many of these emails do not include the recipient’s name, relying instead on generic greetings. Additionally, scammers may use email addresses and phone numbers that do not match the legitimate Geek Squad customer service contacts.
