WALMART http://walmartstores.com/PrivacySecurity/9690.aspx Gift Card Offer Phone Scam
"March 8, 2010 - Fraudsters purporting to be from Walmart have been making phone calls and sending text messages offering free Walmart gift cards to consumers, often under the guise of a "customer appreciation program."
As part of the scam, the fraudsters ask the consumer for their credit card information to pay for shipping and handling. These phone calls are not from Walmart. Walmart will never initiate a phone call where we ask for sensitive personal data like credit card information or social security numbers.
