This has become a universal scam that has spread to other companies including
eBay, Visa, and MasterCard. People need to be very careful about these types
of email.

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:
