So how can you tell if you’re dealing with the real Geek Squad and not a scammer? If you need help with your computer or other electronic devices, the last thing you want is to end up getting scammed. Scammers prey on victims seeking technical help, or they use the names of recognizable companies (like Best Buy, Amazon, or Apple) to fool you into giving them money, personal information, or remote access to your computer. The Geek Squad scam is just one example of the widespread tech support scam trend that cost Americans nearly $350 million in 2021 alone, according to the FBI.
But instead of receiving support, she was scammed out of nearly $100,000. When a 75-year-old New Jersey woman needed help with her computer, she responded to an email from Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
