I received a phone call on Tuesday April 1st, 2014... Yes on April Fool's day. This call was from several different transfers on the line.
This person named Andrew Warner employee #20891, told me that I was chosen for a gift card from Walmart. He also said that since I do most of my shopping there and help with there revenue, that this $100.00 gift card for me to have. So I said ok and what is this for again. He stated that I shopped at Walmart and I was being rewared for doing so.
I said ok, how does this work. He said that my gift card was for $100.00. to be use at Walmart as a gift. He said there is $60.00 for groceries and $25.00 for dinning. I said ok that only adds up to $85.00. He seem to ignore that comment several times and proceeded with call to get more information. He said he would have this gift card delivered to me Monday morning am. I would pay a fee for shipping and handling of $4.00 to the ups gentlemen delivery the gift card. At first I said can I pay him in cash. He said I would have to swipe my credit card.
I said I don't have a credit. He says you don't have an old credit card around where you can give the experation date that has a zero balance? I said no, I don't have any credit cards, all I have is a debit card and there is no zero balance. I use this card for my checking account. I only have a debit.
So then I realize that he can't deliver this on Monday morning, because I will be at work. And he won't take cash. So I said we have to changed the delivery date. He replies no problem, I just need to verify information. I said ok what do you need.
He asked for the correct spelling of my name and my address, which I proceed to give him. Then he asked me for the experation date for card and the numbers so he can put them into the system to verify I have an account. I said no I am not going to give you this information. When you deliver the gift card, I will use my card and pay the $4.00.
He said that I needed to give him the information for receiving the card, and he was going to transfer me to his manager to confirm the information for delivery. So I was already on the computer while he was talking to me and pulled up Walmart Smart Shoppers. When I pulled this up I was looking for the correct information about this site and the gift card that I earned.
While looking at the site I saw a SCAM had been reported with some of the same information about the call I was on. So I told him I was on line and saw the word SCAM and I wasn't going to give him my information. Then he replies what is hold you back, You are getting a $100.00 gift card for shopping at Walmart. I said no I was not going to give him my information one more time, he asked why and I said because on the web site shows a SCAM. So then he proceded to give me his information and a phone number of 855-815-7059. But he said if I hang up then I would no longer be elibable for this gift card. So then I said well that is just the way it is. He tried once again to get my information but I said no and hung up the phone and reported this information to you.
I was surprise that he used his first and last name and gave me a number to call. So the end result I did not get my $100.00 gift card.
But I do want to say that I do shop at Walmart alot and like their prices.. But if this a scam I might think twice before I go there again. Sad for them if that happens.
