Type of a scam Credit Cards

The actual WalMart gift card phone number I was to call is 1-888***. The number I accidentally called was 1-888-573-5503. This wrong number directed me to an automated voice service sounding much like Walmart's automated voice service. The automated service asked if I, the caller, was 50 years of age or older, after selecting no, the system then went on to say that there is a special $100 shopping certificate (redeemable at many shopping centers like WalMart and Target they said) that I can get by paying a small $1.95 processing fee via credit card. I was curious, knowing that this was strange and selected yes. I was then transferred to a live person where they said they were happy to assist me obtain my $100 shopping certificate. I then hung up immediately and dialled the number again from the card just to get a new automated system menu (this time I dialed the real number).

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I saw the job posted on Indeed and applied with my indeed resume. It seemed legit. Instead of an email, I received a text message to confirm application(text has since been deleted). Two weeks later, I received the UPS envelope with the letter and check inside. Seemed a little sketchy because the name on the postage was different than the name on the check and different than my "supervisor". I took the check to my bank and they advised me not to cash it, because they saw a similar check the day prior and concluded that it was fraud. After I took the check back home, I called the Northwest Bank to confirm legitimacy of the check and they confirmed it was fraudulent.

I was sent a text message that I had been selected to be a secret shopper and would receive a package in the mail soon. As soon as I checked my mail there it was and I read the paper and seen I was to buy Walmart gift cards with almost 2900 dollar check they had provided in the package. And I could keep 420 dollars of the money and a 120 dollar bonus if I completed their task in 48 hours time. This was too good to be true so I googled what I received and sure enough a news article was wrote on the same thing that happened to a man in 1 state over from me. It was a scam and was advised to report ASAP.

I had applied for some secret shopper jobs last year. 1 week ago I got a text offering me a secret shopper job for Walmart. Today I got a mailing with a check for $2450. They said to keep $350 for myself and I would buy gift cards with the rest of the money after I deposited the check. I wasn't sure if this was real or not so I called BBB who told me its a fake check scam.

I received an unsolicited email from "Walmart" offering for me to be a secret shopper at my local Walmart store. I actually think it's something I would enjoy, but am leary of getting an email out of the blue asking me for my address, phone number and other personal information. I noticed some subtle errors in the email that lead me to believe that someone is sending out emails fraudulently as Walmart. A 'Michael Hudnall claiming to be a Walmart Inc. Research Team member emailed me from [email protected] offering to pay $400 to be a secret shopper for Walmart.

I contacted Walmart, and this was their reply:

"Hi Customer,

Walmart does not call or solicit customers to offer shopping cards, shopping sprees, or membership discounts in return for bank account, credit card, or personal information; nor would we solicit the customers with these incentives for them to take surveys.

Also, Walmart currently does not employ mystery shoppers and any company that claims to be affiliated with Walmart for this type of program may be part of a telemarketing scam. Some telemarketers and internet ad companies use the Walmart name to engage the interest of the customer.

You may report the solicitation to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov or at 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357). The FTC maintains a telemarketing complaint database called the "Consumer Sentinel" which is available to hundreds of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. The more concerns the FTC receives and logs, the more likely it is that some law enforcement agencies will get involved.

Customers should also report the solicitation to the Consumer Fraud Division of the Attorney General's office in their state or to the ScamPulse.com. The contact information for these organizations is located in the front of your local phone book.

Thank you for contacting Walmart where we are always happy to help!"

Clearly the email I got was a scam. I have reported this to the FTC and both the Consumer Fraud Division of the Attorney General's office, and ScamPulse.com in Ohio.

I was advised to immediately text sender at 830 310-5088 or 281 942-2560 to acknowledge receipt. Then deposit check or cash , keep $420.00 (my compensation) and go to any Walmart and purchase 5 x $400.00 Walmart gift cards. Once purchased to text both numbers with pictures of receipts front and back of gift cards showing all codes (scratch off silver panel at back to find code).then compose email detailing the events carrying out my task.

To keep gift cards once they receive all from my first task they will send me another task.

I recently went online looking for employment where I could work from home. Today I received a letter by priority mail inviting me to become a secret Walmart shopper. There was a check enclosed in the amount of $2420.00 I was to deposit the check into my account and withdraw $2000 to purchase gift cards. After purchase I was to scratch the back of the cards and send pictures for proof of purchase. If I did this within 48 hours I would receive a bonus for $150 as long as I also sent an email about my experience buying the cards. I almost went to the bank because I am in desperate need of money to feed my family but I prayed about it and then decided to check it out. It was then that I found the scam alerts and decided not to do it.
