beware of a fraudulent BestBuy email making the rounds...

something along the lines of:

*********************************

Dear Customer,

Recently we have received an order made by using your personal credit card information.
This order was made online at our official BestBuy website on 06/17/2003.
Our Fraud Department has some suspicions regarding this order and we need you to visit a special Fraud Department page at our web store where you can confirm or decline this transaction by providing us with the correct information.
This e-mail address has been taken from National Credit Bureau.

Click the link below to visit a special Fraud Department page to resolve the cause of the problem.
bestbuy.com

In our effort to deter fraudulent transactions, we need your help in providing us with the correct information. Your prompt response is needed to avoid any unauthorized charges to your credit card. etc. etc...

*********************************

i understand that the linked page has been taken down, but those responsible for the fraud can try a different page

[edit in: yep, they've already found another one making the rounds and taken that site down as well... your-instant-credit-reporter.org . so these guys are rotating in new links as fast as the old ones are neutralized.]
