I found an interesting Best Buy scam when visiting
http://HoaxBusters.ciac.org. The scam actually occurred in June of 2003, but I
have never heard of this before and thought it was interesting. An e-mail
message was circulating the Internet stating that someone else was using your
Best Buy account. The e-mail message then tried to get you to visit
http://www.digitalgamma.com, which looked like the real Best Buy website. The
fraudulent website then tried to get you to enter personal information. This is
a classic scam, the fraudulent website didn?t even mask the URL as bestbuy.com
just ?digitalgamma.com?. This fact alone should be a dead give away to
malicious intents. It is chilling to think just how many people today would
still be fooled by such a scam. The whole story can be found here:
