Hello there Brookc4567, welcome to the Community!
Chances are it was not a breach: most major breaches end up being reported here in the Community as they are announced and I do not recall seeing anything about Best Buy or Geek Squad.
Did you call Geek Squad for help with anything? If so, it might have been a call back regarding your issue: they ALWAYS block caller ID when they call. (I used to work for them, so I am familiar with how they do things.)
If you did not contact them first, or you do not have any services through them, chances are it was a 'phishing' attempt: just a random call trying to get someone to fall for a scam.
You can check by calling 1 800 GEEK SQUAD and explain to them about the call. They can check your account and see if there are ANY open 'cases' regarding your account(s) and advise you from there. If there are no open cases, again I would expect it was simply a scam attempt, which is very common especially this time of year.
