Watch out: callers using the +1‑229‑354‑1199 number are repeatedly posing as Geek Squad to push bogus contract renewals and phishing scams. Victims report email fakes, hold queues, and requests to download remote‑access tools like TeamViewer. The pattern is classic credential‑theft bait—pretending to verify purchases, then coaxing you into sharing passwords or payment info. If you receive an unsolicited Geek Squad email or call, do not click links, install software, or give personal data. Hang up, verify the request through the official Best Buy support channel, and report the incident to the FTC or your email provider.
After receiving an email claiming to be from Geek Squad regarding a contract renewal, which I did not respond to, I looked up the number and found this page, leading me to report it as a scam.
Its a scame, dont let them log in to your computer, they can issue a refund without accesing your account if its legit, they claim you are due a refund and want you to log in to your bank account, dont do it, just call the geek squad toll free number and give them the details.
Apparently, fraudsters are utilizng multipul tactics to trick victims with fake charges, includin a trick where they convinse you to reset your password by sending a 'verifcation' code, which actualy gives them acces to your account, they also use your account's last purchases to sound officaly.
An email invoice was sent with a fraudulent charge, and attempts to contact the number were met with an automated response claiming to be from Geek Squad, despite Google searches yielding no such affiliation.
I stumbled upon this number in an email that managded to bypass my spam filter.
This harassment needs to stop, as it's happening to multiple people.
This is a scam, they want you to download teamviewer and send you to a website
