false advertising and deceptive marketing

Yikes! We Screwed Up a Bit.

Sometime ago I had made a post about how Best Buy was ripping off its customers and in that there was a confession from a BestBuy Employee.

I had got this whole letter on a forum — a Yahoo Group to be precise — where someone had just posted the whole thing without reference. And, silly me just posted it like that.Now, this confession was supposedly first published on Consumerist and editor made a comment about it in the post.

We are sorry guys! It was not intentional and we really didn’t know it was posted on your site first. Otherwise, I would have surely linked. =)

We hate it when people use our content without attribution as much as anyone else. As a matter of fact, we have a whole category on Plagiarism, so you don’t expect us to do something as unethical as stealing content.

Now that we have linked you in that post — I hope it is cool with you!
