A woman who wanted to transfer her photos to a newly-purchased iPhone says a Best Buy employee didn't make the transfer, but made a CD of the shots and invited her to his house to get it.

"I felt sick," she said in a video made with the help of her attorney. She said she felt "violated" and "embarrassed."

"I'm a woman. I love to model. I'm not a model, but I love to model. I have some pretty racy photos of myself, for me," she said in her video.

Still, as she says herself: "I trusted Best Buy. I trusted George." She believed she should have been protected by both.

Putting aside the fact that the George maybe did something wrong (after all, he only asked her to pick up the CD from all we know), it makes you raise an eyebrow that she obviously did not think about the possible consequences before. She knew what kind of pictures she had on that phone, yet she was perfectly ok with selling it to someone she never met before. It's not Best Buy's job to protect her; she simply lacks some common sense and now tries to blame it on someone else.
