Today I received a phone call offering me a $500 dollar walmart gift card. They said they were going to give it to me for being a valued customer. They already had my address and name on file. They said they needed to charge me $1.95 on my credit card for UPS shipping of the gift card...I fell for it ;(
But immediately after hanging up I realized it was too good to be true. So I called Walmart's headquarters and they confirmed that it was a scam. Thus, I quickly called my bank and blocked the card. If you fell for this as well, u should do the same and immediately call your bank and block your card.
Here are some other names that were mentioned and associated with the fraudulent phone call:
