I didn't even have to go to Walmart! I just went to their website and searched for products and two days later on my phone I received the message!The message came today June 7 2021
I recād one of these texts and since I had recently shopped at Walmart, I thought maybe it wasnāt a scam. Thought maybe it was a promotion to build back business after a year plus of covid. But, alas, glad I checked. IT IS A SCAM! Too many dishonest people in the world ā too lazy to work when itās so much easier to steal from others!

W: Guess what, Jennifer *****! Your unique code 024888 printed on your receipt from March 13 came 2nd in our giveaway: c9gmv.info/JFDLC2FAsBJust wondering...does anyone use Shaw Academy? I signed up for them a few months ago and ever since, I have been absolutely bombarded with spam calls, texts, emails. I even had to get a new debit card because someone tried to get a $100 money pack for a reloadable gift card :( someone got ahold of my personal info and Iām willing to bet Shaw Academy is to blame. They are super shady. I honestly almost fell for this one out of sheer stupidity and not reading the date because I went to Walmart for the first time in years yesterday and I thought for a second maybe they actually did have a drawing of some sort. Once I saw the pop up, I knew it was a scam but initially I was curious. Luckily Iām smart enough to google things first.
So glad you warned me about this!W: Congrats, Abbie! Your activation code 315850 printed on your receipt from Mar. 14th came 3rd in Walmart giveaway: c9gmv.info/JFDLC2y2Un
