- - Wal-Mart Scam Sweeps the Web
A new email scam involves a Wal-Mart survey emailed to your personal account. If you fill it out, the email claims you will receive $150.
Don't open it, warns the Better Business Bureau. You will only be giving away your money and your identity. Attached to the email is the survey, which looks harmless until you get to the bottom of the page where it wants your credit and debit card information. In addition, scammers want your card verification code from the back of the card and your pin number. This isn't the first time the Wal-Mart name has been used in a phishing scam. Last April, emails went out claiming customer accounts had been compromised. It was also a hoax and an attempt to trick people into giving out personal information.
