Hello and thanks for reading this.
I've ordered Ipad 7th gen on May 6. But payment didn't go through due to limits so i have used credit card of PNC bank. It went through and everything was ok. After 40 minutes as i paid with credit card on the website of BestBuy, I have received phishing email.
E-mail came from NoReply@pnc.com (i know could be fake header) and it was stating that they observed fraudulent activity with my card, so i have to go by URL to allow it or nor. But URL stated that it is not possible due to server load and plz call us at number below. When i called them, they were pretty legit except asking for my credit card number, security questions from banking (not mine but they tried to guess popular questions) and cvv code on the back.
The only thing that bothers me that i didn't use my laptop that evening and only visited Best Buy website to update payment options.
I guess they somehow got access to my Best Buy account information, that is how they took last 4 numbers of my card, amount paid and etc.
Looks like BestBuys payment processing is not compromised, but someone can see what you ordered, how much paid/email address/4 digits of your card right away from Best Buy servers to apply scam and phishing?
