I received an email asking me if I am interested in joining the walmart family to become the survey representative.I responded through an email to say yes I am interested. they said they will be sending the package with resources with which to carry out my task. They used both email and messages to talk to me. All they asked about my account was that do I have the current account, and I said yes. If they continued to ask for more information further than that , I couldn't allow or rather furnish them with more information such as my account number etc. So there is something that tells me this is suppose to be a scam because there is nothing like survey representatives in your work portfolios/ work deployments. I suggest to drop it and let them know I am aware that they are a scam or rather they are scammers.
