Has anyone gotten this Walmart call thats a Scam?

 

Received it and it says on your Walmart acct a playstation costing $900 has been ordered.

 

Then they say to call this number.

 

I checked online and saw its a scam. But first I was freaking out a little lol cuz I know we didnt order anything.

Not from Walmart but from Amazon and the Apple Store on the same day but different phone numbers and for the same amount of $1200. I knew it was a scam so I didn't even bother to check.

The voicemail also left me a number to call.

We, actually I, answer the phone for 8 numbers.  If it's not one of 4 family members, 3 doctors or our financial advisor then it can ring until voice mail picks it up.  My husband thinks his head would explode if he did answer it but will say, well what if it's someone wanting to get in touch with us.  Well, if it was that important they would have left a message.

You can tell the spam calls by the way they ring...a constant LONG ring usually means it's from a computer, not a live person.

Nope, I never got that one, but I got others.

 

Recently, someone used my debit card number to purchase something in Walmart in two different states on the same day.

 

Fortunally for me, there wasn't enough money in my checking account to cover the charges and the transactions were denied.

 

When I received an e-mail from my bank about the denial, I cancelled the card and had a new one issued.

 

You have to be careful out there.

I received an email, like that,  from Amazon about 5 years ago. Nothing since. But my phone blocks all scam calls so I never get scam phone calls. If one does slip though I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.
