David...
Thanks for the helpful info. Out of the gate I thought the same thing. (a SCAM). A few friends told me to check it out anyway... Seen your post and realized I will still be watching my big old TV. Poop!

Just got a text from them with my first name, from number 862-243-7783. Googled and found the scam confirmation, as I suspected. No idea where they could have gotten my name and number!

I just got the same text a few min ago.
"+14028387801: xxxxx, You have been randomly selected to receive 1 free $1000 Best Buy Giftcard. Please visit PrizePickupCenter.com within 24 hours."
They spelt my first name completely wrong.

I also received the same message but from 507-299-7538.
I don't normally give my contact info to stores, but I guess they got it from somewhere.
I realized the web site they directed me to was a US site as Centre was spelt with "er" on the end? I did not go to the web page

Just got this in SMS format to claim a best buy CG for $1000. Realized it was a scam and also saw this confirming it is a scam.
However, over the weekend was the first time I've ever bought something from BestBuy "I usually buy at their competitor shop FutureShop here in Canada". I did give them my real name, number, etc and low and behold I get a scam text from them. I wonder if BestBuy is offering up its customer's info to a 3rd party.
Note: They got my name spelt correctly and I never use the correct spelling of my name while filling out ballots to win things.

xxxx, you have been randomly selected to receive 1 free $1000 Best Buy Giftcard. Please visit PrizePickupCenter.com within 24 hours.
Upon goggling prize pickup center, I found this web site with numerous other people who got the same text. Its a scam (shocking I know) but just from a different phone number. The poor formatting (lower case first name) are clues
