She calls me over and first thing notice that the origin email is not from Best Buy or Geek squad so it is phony.

Thinking he wanted to control her laptop and make her pay to get it released.
I got this scam too. After receiving amazing service from the Best Buy Lady Lake geek squad last year, I was ready to give them the benefit of the doubt. I called Best Buy and they made it clear to me that the email was not from them. So I flagged that email as junk.
