Walmart Gift Card Scam

By , About.com GuideApril 30, 2012

Follow me on:

If you get a text message saying you've been selected to receive a free $1,000 Walmart gift card, don't respond or click on links within the message, the company warns. Walmart didn't send or authorize the text. It's a phishing scam designed to trick you into revealing personal information.
