Clever.  Try walking into your local Best Buy with an iPhone, and see

-----------------

The following advisory applies to customers who shopped at the Best  
Buy located at 1880
Palm Beach Lakes Blvd in West Palm Beach, FL in November and December  
2008.

An employee at Best Buy's 1880 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd in West Palm  
Beach, FL allegedly
stole credit card information during November and December 2008 using  
an unauthorized
personal device. Best Buy learned of the theft on Jan. 5, 2009. With  
the cooperation and
assistance of store management, the employee was identified and taken  
into federal custody by
the Secret Service on Jan. 7, 2009.  That person is no longer employed  
by Best Buy.

Although none of Best Buy's electronic systems were compromised by  
this former employee's
actions, Best Buy believes that approximately 4,000 people could have  
been affected by this
law enforcement authorities and all relevant payment card brands have  
been notified of the
incident and Best Buy is fully cooperating with all investigations.

In addition, Best Buy is sending letters to customers who may have  
been affected by this
fraudulent activity, notifying them of the situation and encouraging  
them to review their account
statements and monitor their credit reports.
