  • please read the link carefully, www.bestbuy.ca.wonacontest.COM!!
    .COM! the link is no associated to bestbuy because the address itself ends with .com.
    its a scammer using bestbuys name to sound legit.

  • Alvin, i think you misunderstood me.
    its the trick of using the domain name.
    if i wanted to i can register a domain name called www.bestbuy.yourmom.com

    the domain name is where the scammers are screwing with everyone. everyone thinks its a legit link from bestbuy. but its the trick of the domain name.

    they used their domain name as bestbuy.ca.winacontest
    the .com .ca .gov, is what ends the link.
    thats where the scamming is happening.

  • if i wanted to i can register a domain name called
    www.bestbuy.ca.joeyistheceo.com off that im a website host.

    what you WANT to look for is the end of the link. when does the link end usually at the .com

    if bestbuy REALLY was hosting a contest it would be
    www.bestbuy.com/winacontest.

    see how the link ends with.com followed by the slash winacontest.
    because the link itself is www.bestbuy.ca.winacontest.COM the domain name is where its fooling everyone.
    not me though i saw it right away.
