Best Buy $15 gift cards sold last night valued at $200?scam?

‎07-15-2015 08:54 AM

Did anyone purchase a $15.00 Best Buy gift card valued at $200 last night? It was sold for a short time on line last night, but I think it was a scam and not human error oversight. IMy daughter read on social media that this was happening .

I heard it was a glitch and BB might cancel all orders.

If it SEEMS too good to be true, it usually IS!

There was a similar scam about a month ago which featured that same deal only that time it was for Home Depot. Was a really evil scam because if you clicked you were giving them all kinds of rights to sell your email address. If you went further and entered personal information, you were giving them rights to sell your phone number. Bad, really bad.

Yeah, some people bought 30 or so at $15, and woke up to find their bank accounts overdrawn because BB had charged them each 200.00!
