??Hi (my name) ?? LISTEN UP ?? you joined our Walmart competition last year trough your purchase at our local shop in! Thank you for joining! We come with GREAT news! You are the WINNER of a $1000 Gift card!! Claim your cash here: ?? claiml000bucks.com/GFfZ ??
I now have blocked that credit card and told them they have 10 days to send me a check for $13.98. ($6.95 they took from my card and $6.95 for me to return it.)
I indicated that if they fail to send the check within 10 days I will open the package, determine the value of the "gift", sell it and donate the proceeds to our local food pantry.
I would have had to select VIEW ALL on my phone to see the rest of the text. I decided not to do that.
Oh, after I typed that in I saw I could attach the screen shot I did. Attaching that too.
This was posted in a social media group. Someone shared it trying to help people. We told her it was a scam and asked her to remove the link.

I knew it was a scam immediately because Walmart does not have my phone number. I don't share my phone number with almost nobody and don't have internet/apps/wifi data on my phone. I didn't give my number to anyone at walmart or other retail stores. thanks

There were so many red flags in this call. First, I told her I had already used the service and liked it, why would I need assistance in making another order? Second, who would pay for the order they coached me through? Third, they would be sitting right there when I placed the order and would then have access to my payment information, either in person or in a fake online document.
I told the caller no thanks and hung up.
I called the ScamPulse.com which confirmed that it had all the markings of a scam and they urged me to make this report and to call my Caldwell Walmart to ask them if this is part of their business.
I called Caldwell Walmart and spoke to 3 different department managers and all told me that this is not a part of their business. They assured me if Walmart was conducting a survey in this nature it would be strictly online, no purchase necessary and no home visit.
