Hello,
Same issue seems to now be ocurring for phone number 213 446 1559 except it directs u to bestbuyprize.com. I received the text on March 1st 2012. Please see the thread for this number on this website.
I also did a quick search and found several different phone numbers and websites being used for this scam and apparently the scam has been going on since 2009 and is still going strong! That is quite a long time for these people to not be caught..if they are the same people...which they probably are.
Just goes to show you that u truly can't trust anything on face value! Be careful!

Mine came from number 43549. I see the scammers are getting more sophisticated.

I received the same text except from the phone number 516-690-9834. Couldn't help but wonder why Best Buy, who has my email address, would send me a text about winning a gift card. Plus, most companies who utilize text messaging use a 3-digit number followed by 2 or 3 more digits (000-00), not an actual phone number and certainly not one with a local area code vs an 800 area code.

Yeah same here, 4:55 am and I don't have any accounts or cards at Best Buy. I do have an account with Barnes and Noble.....
| Sid 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
I got the BestBuy text at 3:27am on the 18th, knew it must've been a scam. Funny thing is that the name they called me, "Sid" is my nickname and only my friends and co-workers call me that.

Got same message at 5:41am 4-18-11, but phone # is 508-419-2547, have BB rewards card, and Sears bonus card, wonder how they got my info too. Had my first name in it also. Ought to be someway to burn these people, and GoDaddy for allowing illegitimate domain names to be registered. Guess would be pretty hard to weed them out though. Just pisses me off.

I received the same message today at 11:07 a.m. I won a thousand dollar gift card from best buy. But the number was 541-933-7527. I was upset also that they had my name.
| G 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
There is no website. I did some research on this and noticed this bunch are using numbers from all across the country. My text message came from a phone number, +17326408118, in New Jersey. I know no one in New Jersey.
What really has me is that they know my name, which I don't know how they got. See this is my business cell phone, and the only way to associate my name with this number is to have been a client of mine (or one of my suppliers). So how did this bunch get my name.
BTW on their website, as I said I did some research, they don't have one. Sure they have a domain registered with Godaddy but they don't have a website. I wanted to get enough information incase I wanted to go to the cops for any reason. So I tried their website, all I got was Server Not Found (or the connection times out). Which is usually the case when there is no website.
@java I don't have a Best Buy reward card, never had one ever either. The only reward card I currently have is one for Borders bookstore. Used to have one for Barnes and Nobles but I didn't renew it, it expired at least 5 years ago.
| javaheidi 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
Does everyone have a BB reward card? I bet that's how they got our info. How else would they know our names?? I notice the prizepickupcenter domain seems to be shut down too. It wasn't this morning.

I received the same text this morning at 8:51 from 401-764-4502. What has me worried is that they spelled my name right and the spelling of my name is not common. I'm wondering if everyone who's receiving this message has the same phone carrier.......
| littlemonkey 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
I receive same text with my full first name from 707-401-7570, saying I won $1000 Best Buy gift card! That is NorthBay San Francisco area code -- said to reply to pricepickupcenter.com! My Norton Site Safety software says that it is an OK website no treats - but I'm NOT going to go to it to find out! But looking further at Norton it looks to have a virus! Same question as all of the above people how did they get my full first name! Called # back and it was a 'free texting' service! Beware! :))
| lilmonkey 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |

I got a text at 5:02 EST from 484-455-4566. Pretty disturbing that they had my name also. Plus, that site is on Godaddy.com. totally fake

| scott 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |

| nate 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
the website is registered to some douche in beijing china. Cant someone do something to their website to shut them down for their bogus spam and solicitation?
| nate 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |
Got the same text from 469-723-7944, but I actually got a gift card! Just kidding of course, called the number back and it's some text only number. What a scam. I want to know who sent this to my cell phone and piss on their company.
| jenny 2011-06-06 20:42:27 Unknown |

Got the same message at 5:07am from 406-233-1555. Glad I'm able to google and confirm bogus stuff like this text. Hope others don't get duped.

I just got one too... from # 760-549-7491. Same thing.... won a thousand dollar gift card from Best Buy. Here's how I think they got my number, and I'm curious if any of you had the same thing happen. I got a call about two weeks ago from a restricted number. I answered the call and as I said "hello" the very friendly girl on the other line said "Hey! So how was your trip?!" I of course did the usual "I think you have the wrong number." and she apologized and hung up. My theory is that these people are paid to just dial numbers and see if someone answers/the #s are active and they then add them to their list of numbers to sell. This is the second text i've gotten of this sort since that weird phone call. I'm making sure not to respond back to them with a hope of being removed from the list. The other one prompted me for to text something back to "be removed from the list" which I think would only put me on more lists.
