October 15, 2009 Wal-Mart Scam Alert www.privateofficer.com
ATLANTA GA Oct 15 2009 — The Better Business Bureau is warning Atlanta consumers to beware of a scam that claims to be an online satisfaction survey from the retailing giant Walmart, but instead is an attempt to steal personal credit information.
The e-mail ruse claims that recipients have been selected to access the “Walmart 2 Steps Survey” and win a $150 gift certificate.
Consumers are linked to a survey and later asked for credit card information.
But Wal-Mart says it has no such survey.
Atlanta fraud officials say the scheme has surfaced in St. Louis in recent days and they’re on the look out for it here.
