Henry and Roma Gerbus received a phone call from a man named Ed claiming he had purchased their old hard drive at a flea market. They had previously taken their computer to Best Buy to have the hard drive replaced and were told that the store would destroy it.

The Gerbus' are a little perplexed and are very worried about identity theft."

This is an indeed scary news story, the couple were pretty lucky I guess that the buyer was honest and I assume had a through knowledge of computer security.

Thanks for the news as always ronjor.

To say the least, you could really improve your business with all the negative information going around about GeekSquad (bestbuy).

I'm going to quote a few of the replies from the site, after confirmation of course, through my business to gain customers. It pays to go through small business', least I know we do the job right and private information is PRIVATE! Let the Giant fall
