Best Buy Apps

UPDATE 8/5: Some people may have mis-read the intent of the note below. To be clear, we are not worried about these accounts participating in the Twelpforce initiative. What we’re trying to do is use the tools we have on hand (the Twelpforce network) to root out and expose “brand squatters”. Brand Squatters are people who are not associated with Best Buy, but create accounts that look a lot like they are. Most big brands will battle this issue, but we decided to tackle it head on to help our customers understand that not everyone out there is who they say they are.

With the recent launch of Best Buy’s Twelpforce, there has been a wave of people SO excited about the initiative that they decided they wanted to be a part of it…however, these people aren’t a part of Best Buy.  We’re flattered, but we also don’t think it’s right that they could be taking advantage of YOU, and using our brand to do it. So, in an effort to expose these accounts so you know exactly who you are dealing with when navigating Twitter, we’ve compiled a handy list for you to digest.  We’ve sent the same list to the kind folks at Twitter, and while we expect them to be shut down soon, until they are, please, avoid doing business with these people….!
