Has anyone else here ever come across an issue where Best Buy added items to your shopping cart on their website without your express permission?
I've only recently started doing shopping on BestBuy.Com because I get free shipping, and I've made a handful of small purchases this holiday season (no more than $20 or $30).
On a couple of occasions I've added an item to my cart and let it sit there, waiting to see if Amazon would price match it. I'd get an email reminding me I left stuff in my online cart.
Well today I got an email reminding me I have items in my cart - only I hadn't left anything in my cart recently. And the items were Warcraft III, Diablo Battle Chest, and Need For Speed Nitro. I have no interest what so ever for the first three, and I already purchased the last one from GameStop.
So how did they end up in my cart?
I guess the easy answer is my account password was compromised - and I changed it, no orders were placed, and there doesn't appear to be any other funny business.
But I'm thinking this also could have been some kind of tactic from Best Buy to try to get me to buy shit from them by placing it in my cart for me.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
