For those last minute holiday shoppers – beware of Best Buy redirecting you to a website that is not the real bestbuy.com but instead a site for those people in the store. Prices on this website may be higher than on the real Best Buy website.

 

I have heard of a duplicate or phantom site being developed for the reason of giving competitors bogus information but doing something similar for customers is new to me.

 

In order to avoid getting on this potentially inflated site while at Best Buy be sure to bring in a print out of prices from your home computer or if you surf from the store be sure your laptop or cell phone does not use the company’s in-store WiFi network and instead use your wireless provider.
