Yesterday I got a cry for help from an old friend. The demons are back:<\/p>\n

I know it’s crazy, but they started up again. Can you just log on and verify your email address is associated with your account, rather than mine?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once again, Best Buy is spamming her with promotional information containing my reward zone information<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I assume this is because, long ago, my friend purchased something online with her account and had it delivered to my house. It was convenient, and I even received delivery notification via email! It seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh we were so wrong, so wrong.<\/p>\n

A year later, the nightmare began. Endless spam marketing emails from BestBuyInfo@emailinfo.bestbuy.com<\/a>, containing my<\/em> reward zone ID, points status, and of course a ton of promotional information.<\/p>\n

After checking my account information to make sure it was correct (it was), I sent emails to best buy and, for good measure, clicked all the opt-out links I could find in the email and on the site. And the emails stopped for a while.<\/p>\n

I got no response from Best Buy, of course.<\/p>\n

But now it has started again. My address is still correct. Best Buy obviously doesn’t give a crap. I sent more emails, but I honestly don’t expect a response from a company with a terrible reputation for customer service.<\/p>\n

According to my reward zone information, it has been a while since I bought something at Best Buy. I have no reward points…I think I’ll keep it that way. Anyway, newegg<\/a> totally kicks their ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
