Walmart is starting an exceptionally huge research project in your general vicinity. This project happens each week, so we need to choose Shoppers to work as a store evaluator. You will get $400 on each endeavor. Every task requires 20-30 minutes of time at the store in addition to time to review your post-visit reports.

This company sent the link to my cell phone via text asking me to apply for a secret shopper job for Walmart. However Walmart claims they do not have any 3rd party companies offering secret shopper positions. Text came from phone number 5203429020 and states “Hello...Walmart has set up a 350 work at home job for its customers, kindly apply via https://metmallaudit.org to receive 1st assignment & payment by check...”

Scammer by the name of Steven Fryza sent a $1450.32 check to my mother to deposit. She then was to go to Walmart as a "SECRET SHOPPER" purchase NIKE gift cards and send clear photos back.

I was sent the same check from a guy by that name. Coincidentally he was on the phone messaging me when I got the package. This is an old scam. You deposit the check in the bank, purchase what they tell you to only to find out later the check doesn't clear and everything you purchased and sent them you payed for.

I received a call from a person who said they were from Walmart and that I owed $249 for a membership renewal that I never had. I do not shop at Walmart. I asked for his name and he said his name was Alan Nel. I told him it was a scam and I would be reporting it. He immediately ended the call.

Using Walmart logo and name to solicit a survey offering valuable gifts for only shipping ($6.95). Upon submitting the survey, they immediately charged our credit card the shipping and informed us that the "gift"is free for 15 days after which we will be charged full price for the item. I immediately cancelled the offer and told them to NOT ship anything. They offered a 20% discount on the item. Again I refused the offer and told them not to ship the item. They offered an 80% discount on the item. For the third time I told them I do not want anything from them and would like $6.95 credited to my card. Their last response was to give me a RMA number and was told I would have to pay shipping on the return. A few days later the item arrived.

I now have blocked that credit card and told them they have 10 days to send me a check for $13.98. ($6.95 they took from my card and $6.95 for me to return it.)

I indicated that if they fail to send the check within 10 days I will open the package, determine the value of the "gift", sell it and donate the proceeds to our local food pantry.

The text was a group text to 20 people. The text reads: "WALMART STORES ® is starting an exceptionally huge research project in your general vicinity. This project happens each week, so we need to choose Shoppers to work as a store evaluator. You will get $450 on each endeavor. Every task requires 20-30 minutes of time at the store in addition to time to..."

I would have had to select VIEW ALL on my phone to see the rest of the text. I decided not to do that.

Oh, after I typed that in I saw I could attach the screen shot I did. Attaching that too.

Phishing-saying Walmart is offering $250 in groceries this week to help the nation.

This was posted in a social media group. Someone shared it trying to help people. We told her it was a scam and asked her to remove the link.

I knew it was a scam immediately because Walmart does not have my phone number. I don't share my phone number with almost nobody and don't have internet/apps/wifi data on my phone. I didn't give my number to anyone at walmart or other retail stores. thanks

This was mailed to me Priority Mail by Lekeisha Gourdine, 701 Madison St, Petaluma, CA 94952 with a letter and a $4,900.00 cashier's check from the *** *** 101 W5th St. PO Box 80 Spencer IA 51301-0080. The letter was from *** telling me I was a Secret Shopper and needed to deposit the cashier's check in my account. Once the money cleared my account, I was supposed to withdraw the money and go to *** and purchase 4 blank *** Money Orders in the amount of $1,000 each. I was then told to text/SMS to 302-497-3348 to George Nelson 302-497-3348 and go to FEDEx immediately and send overnight to the addresses provided to me from George.

I do not have caller ID on my landline phone so I did not get the caller's phone number. This afternoon (7/24/19) I received a call from a friendly English speaking young women telling me she is calling on behalf of our local Caldwell Walmart in regards to their online pick-up service. She asked if I had ever used it before and I told her I had and that I liked it. She then told me that for only about an hour of my time Walmart would pay me $100 to review this service they provide. All I would need to do is schedule a time when a representative would come to my house and assist me in making an online order and then I would pick it up at the store. After that, I would just need to evaluate the service I received to get the $100.

There were so many red flags in this call. First, I told her I had already used the service and liked it, why would I need assistance in making another order? Second, who would pay for the order they coached me through? Third, they would be sitting right there when I placed the order and would then have access to my payment information, either in person or in a fake online document.

I told the caller no thanks and hung up.

I called the ScamPulse.com which confirmed that it had all the markings of a scam and they urged me to make this report and to call my Caldwell Walmart to ask them if this is part of their business.

I called Caldwell Walmart and spoke to 3 different department managers and all told me that this is not a part of their business. They assured me if Walmart was conducting a survey in this nature it would be strictly online, no purchase necessary and no home visit.
