When you think of Walmart, you think of friendly greeters, rock-bottom prices, and maybe the only place where you can buy groceries, yoga pants, and a riding lawn mower all in one trip.\u00a0 But Sam Walton\u2019s empire has another, way less fun, claim to fame: Walmart tops the list of brands used in common phishing scams, according to data from Checkpoint<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And like Wally World\u2019s kitchen sink style selection, fake Walmart emails aren\u2019t the only kind of scam associated with the store.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fake Walmart Emails, a Fraudster Fave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Checkpoint\u2019s data found that Walmart\u2019s name was used in a whopping 16% of phishing scams \u2013 schemes where fraudsters use email or other messages to \u201cfish\u201d for personal information \u2013 across the globe.\u00a0 Following the retailer, other brands like Microsoft, DHL, FedEx<\/a>, and even Netflix<\/a> had their names dragged through the dirt by scammers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does this specific fake Walmart email scam work?\u00a0 The most popular version takes the form of an official-looking email from Walmart, asking the recipient to fill out an online survey (often on the topic of supply chain disruptions) in exchange for store gift cards.\u00a0 In reality, the survey site linked collects the user\u2019s personal data.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Walmart does award gift cards in exchange for legit surveys, those surveys live exclusively at surveys.walmart.com.\u00a0 Walmart makes it clear that customers<\/a> are usually invited to participate via a link on their receipt, while \u201cWinners are notified via phone and certified mail.\u00a0 Gift cards are not given away through Twitter, Facebook, or text message.\u00a0 If you receive a notice through one of these channels, it is likely a scam.\u00a0 Do not click on any links in these messages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 More Walmart Scams to Watch Out For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do fake Walmart emails mean that Walmart is an unsafe place to shop?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Much of the association is a matter of scale \u2013 with 11,300 stores worldwide, Walmart is the single largest retailer<\/a> in the world, making them a naturally attractive name for scammers to use.\u00a0 Likewise, their ranking on 2023\u2019s phishing list was particularly influenced by the aforementioned phishing scam, shooting Walmart from 13th place in 2022 to first in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, Walmart\u2019s size and popularity does mean its name is attached to a whole spectrum of scams.  Alongside the fake Walmart email hoax, keep an eye out for these sneaky shakedowns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walmart Foundation Fraud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In one especially gross scam, criminals contact victims asking them to fill out an online form to receive grants or relief payments from the Walmart Foundation or Walmart.org.  Walmart itself has warned customers of this scam, which is another phishing operation, collecting sensitive data from the phony form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe:<\/strong>\u00a0 Don\u2019t click on links in texts or emails from unknown numbers, and remember that \u201cWalmart.org\u201d is the only legit domain name for anything associated with the Walmart Foundation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghost Orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you receive an order confirmation email that appears to be from Walmart, but you didn\u2019t place an online order from Walmart, that\u2019s likely a fake Walmart email from a scam artist.\u00a0 These bogus email receipts can also be used for phishing<\/a>, or they may contain links that infect your computer with malware that extracts sensitive personal info from your device.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe: <\/strong> If you know you didn\u2019t place a Walmart order, report that spam.  Otherwise, keep an eye out for subtle signs like bad spelling or grammar, multiple email recipients, and senders with fishy (or phishy<\/em>) domain names \u2013 real emails from the company will come exclusively from senders with addresses ending in \u201c@walmart.com.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More Gift Card Shenanigans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fake Walmart email surveys aren\u2019t the only place gift cards \u2013 something all sorts of scammers love to use as bait \u2013 show up.\u00a0 In some cases, scammers will call or text victims posing as the representative of a loved one, claiming the person they rep has been involved in an emergency, or claiming a debt that can be paid via gift card.\u00a0 Your only hope?\u00a0 Buy Walmart gift cards and proceed to give the scammer those gift card numbers. Blackmailers especially target elderly victims<\/a> with this scheme.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe:<\/strong> Never purchase gift cards or give gift card numbers at a stranger\u2019s request, and keep in mind that Walmart gift cards can\u2019t be used anywhere but Walmart, as scammers often concoct stories about using the cards to pay fees to the IRS or other official agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivery Deceptions <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Special delivery \u2013 especially around the holiday season, scam artists serve up this shakedown<\/a> with express shipping, and it can work in a few different ways.\u00a0 One version is yet another phishing hustle, in which a message claims that you\u2019ve got an unexpected delivery coming from Walmart (or just about any other retailer), and that you need to click a sketchy link to receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another variation, swindlers send a similar upcoming package delivery notice, but will request a nominal shipping or receiving fee before delivery.  They\u2019ll use that transaction to steal your banking info and take a whole lot more than just a shipping fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe:<\/strong>\u00a0 Don\u2019t click links in messages regarding packages you\u2019re unaware of.\u00a0 If you have reason to believe you\u2019re actually receiving a surprise package but are (understandably) wary, contact the shipping company in question to inquire about any packages en route to your address.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mystery Shopper Scams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this less common con, victims are made to believe that they\u2019ve been hired as a secret shopper to covertly evaluate Walmart products, often in a work-from-home position.  The job comes with a bogus \u201cemployment packet\u201d and a realistic-looking high-value digital check.  The packet instructs new \u201cemployees\u201d to deposit the check to their bank account, use it to purchase items for \u201cevaluation,\u201d then transfer the rest back to the \u201cemployer,\u201d minus compensation for the \u201cjob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all these quotes aren\u2019t a giveaway, the check bounces and the scammer phishes financial info from the bank transactions, sometimes straight-up draining the victim\u2019s account.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe: <\/strong>\u00a0This one\u2019s easy to avoid if you know one simple fact:\u00a0 Walmart doesn\u2019t employ any sort of mystery shoppers.\u00a0 So if you get a secret shopper job offer from Walmart, it\u2019s fake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFree\u201d Gifts (That Aren\u2019t Free)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like lots of these scams, shysters use all kinds of retailers for this one, but Walmart is a common name drop.\u00a0 Here, scammers offer any variety of \u201cfree gift,\u201d either outright or in exchange for something like filling out a survey.\u00a0 The victim will be asked to pay for shipping, but the gift never arrives and they\u2019re charged for a whole lot more than they bargained for.\u00a0\u00a0Stay safe:<\/strong> Don\u2019t open emails claiming to offer free gifts, and certainly don\u2019t click on links in those emails.\u00a0 And again, keep an eye out for email addresses and domain names that don\u2019t align with official Walmart branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Wire Transfer Trick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Similar to gift card ripoffs, this scam<\/a> uses a variety of tactics, from romantic advances<\/a> to family emergencies to threats from the (fake) IRS, to convince people to head to Walmart or a similar location and make an immediate wire transfer to whatever organization the scammer is posing as.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe:<\/strong> Never transfer money to any person or organization if you can\u2019t verify with 100% confidence that they are who they say they are.\u00a0 Remember that government agencies like the IRS, Social Security Administration and others never <\/em>request money via wire transfer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do When Scams Strike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s say that maybe you didn\u2019t read this article in time, or maybe you\u2019re just trying to help out your scam-prone aunt<\/a> who thinks everything she reads in a Facebook<\/a> meme is real.\u00a0 First things first, if you\u2019ve already paid, the FTC<\/a> recommends immediately contacting your bank to put a stop on the transaction, or to reverse transactions that have cleared.\u00a0 In most cases, as long as you let your bank know that the charge is fraudulent, they\u2019ll work with you on reversing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cases of serious identity theft, you may need to work with your bank on changing your financial info altogether to avoid further damage.\u00a0 For gift card purchases and scam-driven wire transfers, contact the retailer or transfer company to explain that the transactions were the result of a scam, providing as much detail as you can, and request a refund.\u00a0 Walmart itself offers some good advice, too.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve been targeted by a scam, report it to the FTC<\/a> to help others avoid it in the future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
