I got the text message today at 11:59AM on my iPhone from +1 (570) 847-9732 that said:
“Your entry last month has
Won!! Goto http://bestbuy-1k.com
and enter your Winning Code: 5555 to
claim your Free $1000

Now, I DO have a BestBuy account, but something told me to check the website first and research the phone number..I’m so glad I did! I contacted my local BestBuy and the Lady who answered the phone was quite aware of the website and the SCAM. She said the website would redirect you to another one, which would take all of your information and possibly infect your computer and phone with a virus. She also BestBuy would NEVER sent out such a text to anyone.
Moral of the Story: Be Healthy and VERIFY your Sources!
SMILES!!!
