road-runner Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) "Consumer-advocate blog Consumerist ran a sting operation to catch a Best Buy Geek Squad member searching for and stealing media files from a customer's computer. The article includes the story with screen captures and a video of the technician's actions. From that piece: 'Reached for comment, Geek Squad CEO Robert Stephens expressed desire to launch an internal investigation and said, "If this is true, it's an isolated incident and grounds for termination of the Agent involved." This is not just an isolated incident, according to reports from Geek Squad insiders alleging that Geek Squad techs are stealing porn, images, and music from customer's computers in California, Texas, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere. Our sources say that some Geek Squad locations have a common computer set up where everyone dumps their plunder to share with the other technicians.' A related story from a former Geek Squad employee details the decline of the Geek Squad and Best Buy ethics in general.

Andrewr05 Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Who wouldn't? If you didn't think you would get caught wouldn't you steal music (that more than likely was stolen to begin with) or someone else's porn (providing the porn was legal to begin with)? I know I would!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verran Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Honestly, I would have been more surprised if this wasn't happening. Not saying it's right, but it's not surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ajmatson Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Ha I just read this on my phone while near a best buy and I was so tempted to go in and ask them if they sold any second hand porn. How funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
