If someone asks you to use a Best Buy gift card as a way to send them money, it is most likely a scam. Don't buy the cards. Instead call the police.
Best Buy Gift Cards
Gift cards for consumer electronics were among the most popular gifts this year, and Best Buy is making it easy to transform them into the goodies of people’s dreams with great deals on top products.
As one of the first retailers to offer shoppers plastic gifts cards 20 years ago, Best Buy led one of the hottest trends in gift-giving.
Back then, our wallet-sized plastic cards replaced cumbersome paper gift certificates.
It took a while for shoppers to embrace the concept of gift cards, but today they’re one of the most popular items for gift-givers and gift-receivers. In fact, the National Retail Federation expected total spending on the cards to reach $25.9 billion in 2015.
