Expert Opinion

Looks like this is a scam targeting Best Buy customers. The callers pretend to be Geek Squad or Best Buy representatives and try to pressure you into paying a non‑existent renewal fee. Never share personal or payment details over the phone unless you’ve initiated the call and can verify the number on the official website. Block the offending number in your phone settings or use a reputable call‑blocking app. Report the incident to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to Best Buy’s fraud department. Keep a log of calls and remain skeptical of unsolicited offers. If you suspect any credentials were exposed, change those passwords immediately.
