Im a victim of the pandemic relief grant attorney Janice Neal told me if I send her $1500.00 off my Walmart card that she can get me money from the pandemic relief grant. I have not heard from her since no response. Its clear that this was all a scam . Can you have my money returned to my Walmart card Thank you
Text from (607)215-5378 saying $1,400.00 walmart covid-19 benefit has been approved, file your claim here with a link... if approved then why would I need to apply.walmart and government doesn't give money out like this... total scam !
got that one, checked website from another browser, it goes to a google-document form asking for all relevant (identity stealing) information.
There are similar walmart.org pandemic relief scams, if you get a text out of the blue claiming $1200, $1600, or other benefits are available it's more than likely a scam. I get them almost every day. Today I got one from (315) 273-8370 claiming that I can apply for $1200 in pandemic relief from Walmart.org. It went straight to a page to fill in all your personal info. The page looked legitimate with the Walmart logo and everything, but if you click on the 3 lines in the corner to open the menu, or the search icon, it did nothing, it was just a screenshot of a walmart page with fill in the blank type questions with all your info. They're getting pretty good at prying at personal info.
"RE-SUBIT your application to receive $1,402 at your doorstep. Apply here:https://bit.ly/COVID-19Packages"This text that I received.
I received this message today...REMINDER, it’s Deadline Day Your $1970 Walmart Pandemic Relief funds is still available. Send a valid copy of the front and back of your ID for verification.

Did you receive money?
I received it and put my information in. What should I do.
The is a new one I just received it. It says I will receive $1500 a week for Walmart relief during the pandemic in an attempt to aid the US and internationally. I will try to paste what it says. Walmart Response To Covid-19 : $1,500/Weekly.Click to claim .(bit.ly/375elnZ)
I didn't know that this was a scam and I gave all my info to the person that sent me the message what do I need to do about it
Seemes obvious scam to me.But bringing up message details were disconcerting. Text message from 4045560162"Your extra $1,400 is now available from Walmart COVID-19 Relief Program, claim it here: http://bit.ly/walmartextracovid19reliefs".Text message details show that among 5 phone numbers cc sent this batch of fraud scum.That among few APPs with access, one has leaked, or is unreliable and is "sharing" or by some means compromised, as "details" indicate my address book has been accessed. Because to help when my current phone was new a few years ago with a new number. I put an odd name & number entry into my address book so I could quickly look it up IN "Contacts/addressBook" if needed to give someone my number and forgetting or wanted to ensure of my number.No one, nor any hack, should know the weird nickname portion associated with my number UNLESS got it FROM my address book entries.
267-400-3109 sent me, $1,400 Walmart COVID-19 Benefit has been approved, File your claim here:https://bit.ly/WalmartsCOVID19Benefitstook me to a locked/safe page that has Walmart Relief.Org and ALL offical or what seemed official, to fill out info. They wanted my social so I googled if it was legit. My phone warned me 1st that it was an unknown URL so I shouldn't have even gone to the site. They almost had me. It looked almost exactly like the actual website. WOW this is SAD. Usually you can tell immediately its not legit by the website...
You have qualified for a Direct Deposit of $2,500 Stimulus Pandemic Relief Program. Claim here: https://walmartcovidtrust.com/I surely hope that people aren’t giving out their information that these thieves are asking for, You’ll not receive messages from Walmart like this asking for all of your information just as you wouldn’t receive a message from IRS via message for same kinda info. Be patient and give these jack legs a run for their money on being a bit brighter than them. Just saying

What do I do if I already gave my info?
What can I do if I already responded to the text message and gave my info to them?
The only thing to do here is to outsmart them by using the info yourself now without any duplicating
I got a text from Walmart inc that I was selected to receive 10,000 dollars for Pandemic Relief from their 6.3 billion dollar fund.but the last thing I was asked for was my edd card picture.
I received a text message from 770-316-9360 that looked like this:"You have qualified for a Direct Deposit of $12,500 Stimulus Pandemic Relief Program. Claim here: https://pande-relief.com/claim". The link went to a very legit looking page that had Walmart s logo, etc. Glad I didn't fall for it and provide any personal information.
I received the exact same text message a few days ago and d**n near fell for it wasn’t until I asked every single Walmart person that they heard of the Walmart in the reef program for COVID-19 and not a single person dead so now I got my suspicions be careful y’all don’t be stupid
