Best Buy Text Message Scam

(WICHITA, Kan.) — If you receive a text massage from Best Buy claiming that you won a $1,000 gift card, don't believe it.

The Corporate Office, Text Message Service Department warns "The messages are not from Best Buy. Best Buy will never initiate a text message asking for personal information."
