(AP) - Connecticut's attorney general is suing
Best Buy, accusing the electronics retailer of deceiving customers
with in-store computer kiosks and overcharging them.
      

The lawsuit, to be filed in Hartford Superior Court, accuses Best Buy of denying deals found at the company's Web site.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said store employees charged customers higher prices found on a lookalike internal Web site.

      Blumenthal says Best Buy gave consumers the worst deal -- a
bait-and-switch-plus scheme. He says it lured consumers into stores
with promised online discounts, only to charge higher in-store
prices.
      
Calls seeking comment have been made to the 
company.
