Unclaimed Walmart Voucher Phishing Scheme

Here is another scam making the rounds in an attempt to collect your personal details. This one claims you have $500 in unpaid vouchers waiting for you to claim from Walmart (Tesco).

The attempt is to make you think they have been trying to reach you and the money is just waiting fro you. The email will read something like this:

Subject: Your Walmart Voucher

Dear Customer,

Our Walmart reward server has identified this email [removed] to have 500 dollars worth of unclaimed Walmart vouchers.

It has been difficult to send this vouchers to you because you have not confirmed your records correctly on our server.

Please,carefully follow the link below and fill in all fields correctly to have your vouchers posted to your mailbox.

Thank you for chosing Walmart.

You will be directed to a website where they will ask you to fill out a form and give them your name, address, phone number, email and the biggest clue of all; social security number. You will then be told the voucher is on the way but in reality they have enough information now to steal your identity.

If you fall for this one, they will keep coming looking for more information. I like to think no one will fall for it but being Walmart that means a larger target audience.

Promising vouchers and gift cards is a pretty common scam and it works.
