Walmart Password Reset Scam Sent by Cybercriminals

Here are some tips that can help you:

• Do not click on any of the links in the email.
• Check your statements to see if any unauthorized charges were placed and monitor your statements
• If unauthorized charges were placed, please contact your bank or credit card company to dispute the charges. Your financial institution is the best avenue to recover funds.
• You can delete any saved payment information and reset your password as a preventative measure.

Online shopping is fast and easy, but it's still "buyer beware." Providing your information online can be as safe as providing it to a store you visit in-person, as long as you follow a few simple rules:

• Make sure your computer's security software is up-to-date
• Shop well-known brands or sites with which you are familiar
• Make sure the site uses a secure check-out – look for https in the url or for other security indicators
• Purchase using your credit card
• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is a scam
