    Received a text message on my cell phone informing me that I qualified for a $1000 Gift Card to Walmart and to visit http://GIFTCARD2.COM to claim my prize.

    My Cell Phone is on national do not call registry, as well as Texas do not call registry, and I don't subscribe to a text message plan. I seldom use text messages and prefer to pay per message.

    F*ck*rs.

    THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number,  or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

    Recieved the same msg on my cell and it is tied to walmart or my # was retrieved from walmart. I was dumb enough to try an do one of those surveys that are on the walmart sales reciept and bingo I start getting calls from all types of telemarketers. That is the only way that my # could have gotten out there. Oh well to late now. I learn something new every day.

      Now the WalMart Scam Artists are using the telephone #  740-331-9808. The text message now reads: Congratulations! You've been choosen to recieve a $1,000 Wal-Mart Gift Card! Use Approval Code: Giveme. Notice the words chosen and receive.  I should have realized it was a scam, but at first glance the $1,000 is the only part that really catches the eye of a struggling single mother! Shame on you for sending this to people, especially during the economic times we are having!

    I am also on the Do-Not-Call List. Obviously that does not matter to these people!
