Something about "Thank your for your $249 monthly payment to "Geek Squad."
It gives a number I can call if I want to..whatever. It's an 805 number. Santa Barbara area. Where I went to Graduate School.
Let me know (JJ and others) if you want the number. I'm too scared to mess with these kinds of people.
Have you heard of the Geek Squad?. They are bad drivers, I've noticed.

How does it work? These people are getting crafty, and sometimes you would assume they were very legitimate at first glance, but when you check their email, you can find some signs that they were simply playing about, such as errors in syntax and spelling and even in the email address they used.

The Geek Squad are the people at Best Buy who will take care of your computer problems for you.
Why did you pay them $249?

@TheHorse That's all you need. Because when you have high self-esteem, you have everything. Health is important, too, but not as much as high self-esteem.

Yes, I'm aware of the Geek Squad. Most of them couldn't help you with an electronics problem if they had the reference manuals open in front of them. I always felt sorry for people who came into Walmart seeking help and the first things they told me was "I took my "electronic item" to the Geek Squad and now it doesn't work." I wasn't allowed to help them fix their stuff. The most I was allowed to do was give them the name and address of a repair place I trusted.

@TheHorse — they have a scam, I mean, product where you can purchase the use of Geek Squad for $199 a year.

I have heard of the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Yeah that's a scam. The latest scam that popped on in my email was about wining something at Costco. I have only been to Costco once and haven't been there since. It's not even close to where I live.

@TheHorse I've not heard about it before. I'm sure JJ would have a lot of fun with them. I love listening / watching him take care of these annoying people!
The scammers out there are becoming so much worse I swear!

@TheHorse I know what you mean. They truly are everywhere. I'd have to say that anyone and everyone are their victims. Old, young, vulnerable, smart, healthy, sick, rich, poor. Just everyone.

No comment for no idea what's this Geek Squad all about.
