Last week, the big news was the confirmation that electronics retailer Best Buy was pulling a bait-and-switch on customers who browsed the site BestBuy.com for deals before going into the store. Turns out that the company has an Intranet site that exactly mirrors the look and feel of the public website, only the prices are different. Deals advertised on the public site in some cases weren't shown on the internal site at all, or at a higher price, forcing consumers to either not purchase the item, or purchase it at a higher price. This behavior brought down the weight of the Attorney General of Connecticut who is now investigating the company for evidence of intentional fraud.
BestBuy of course denies that the differences were intentional, and that employees are encouraged to also check the external site in case discrepancies emerge.
This is could become the big corporate fraud story of 2007.
