Walmart Scam Calls and Fraud Department - Beware
Walmart Scam Calls and Fraud Department - Beware

I just got a call 1-604-262-2765 from British Columbia about a purchase from Walmart. They left a message, wanted me to call if I didn't authorize any purchases. They were asking questions on my account. I hung because I know it is a scam.

A few minutes after, I received a recorded call from Mark with Walmart Fraud Prevention claiming that someone had been trying to purchase something for the amount of $2,499.00. They needed to speak directly to me and asked that I press 1 to be connected or that I could call them back on number provided. There was no other phone number provided, so I looked on caller ID and it showed 865-377-2709. So I called Walmart Fraud Department. This is a scam which I figured it was. But share that these recorded calls are being made and that everyone knows it's a scam.
