Anyone else receive this email (possible scam)

I recently recieved this email which seems to be some sort of scam as the links point to http://www.digitalgamma.com/

I noticed also that it does not list any proper names to the receiver here is a copy of it:

Pretty suspicious, especially when that's a WASHINGTON area code (with a NY address!)

Yeah, the best things to do in this situation would be to actually go that URL. Not click the HYPERLINK, cuz we all know that those can be easily masked as a different URL. Try typing it in, and see what it does. If it's not valid, which it isn't...maybe call/send an email to Best Buy???

It's a scam, I read about it over on Techbargains.

I got this at work today. Seems like it would be a good scam, except for the fact that www.digitalgamma.com doesn't resolve, I would have liked to see what the page said.
