I received a text message from this number thanking me for visiting WalMart online.  It said I would receive a free $20 gift card and to call 877-680-4175.  I called the number and they began to ask me my name, my address, my phone number and then they asked for a credit card for a $4.50 charge.  I refused and ended the call.  I then called WalMart and they said they do nothing like this and they do not reward gift cards.  There is a full explanation of this type of thing on their website.  NEVER give your personal information, credit card numbers or social security numbers to anyone you don't know!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't call. At least they had enough respect to up the bribe, from $20 to $200.

texted the same message to me ... can't we block text messages from people??

Yes - BUT IT BLOCKS ALL TEXTS Messages not just the SPAM/SCAM text messages.

you call your cell provider and tell them to set it up for you

Just got the same text msg for Wal-Mart .  Do they really expect me to fall for this?  Losers.

I received a text message today from this number about a $20.00 Wal-mart Gift card. Text said to call 800-680-4175 ASAP. I sent a message back to them not to call or text me again because my number is on the "Do not call registry".

Got a text. Obvious scam. Do not call the number.

I went through with the call to see what information they would ask for. They asked me for a full name / mailing address then at the end he was like in order for us to send this out there will be a $4.95 s/h charge can i go ahead and get a major visa / etc card. Obvious scam...

Exact thing just happened to me. I called the number they offered me $200. When she asked for my credit card information I asked her what company she worked for and she said "uhhhh hold on let me speak with my manager" she got back on the phone and said, "ok so i am with (named some company) if you want this voucher im gunna need your credit card info" These people are seriously stupid. Isnt there a way to report them and trace the number. I actually traced the number that text me to the Bronx in New York.

Left a message with the DA in consumer affairs in NY.  Hopefully they'll do something about it.  Call the State's Attorney/District Attorney or whatever they call themelves in the particular jurisdiction where the call originated from in order to help stop this from happening (at least by this particular syndicate).

Just got a text message from this same number with the same request to call and receive my $200.00 Wal mart card.  I was suspicious but wanted to see if I was correct.  The guy asked for my date of birth!!!!  I asked him why he needed my birth date and he said to get to the next screen (I didn't give it to him) then I asked if I was going to have to buy something and he said I would need to pay shipping and I said that I didn't want it and hung up.   These people are thieves!!!  How does Wal-mart let them get away with using their business like this?????

Just received the same message. I sent a text back saying, Big Mistake, You just txt a Private Investigator. Maybe that will send some chills up there spine :)

My second time receiving calls from them even though I told them I am not interested. I am just sorry for innocent people falling for this scam. Something needs to be done to stop this.

Just recieved the same thing. I ignored the text and figured it was a scam so I look it up online. Thanks for all the info everyone.

I just receive two txt msgs stating the same thing. I got one before but just ignored it like I'm doing with the two I just received today.

okay, so my name was entered into a local real drawing for upgrading my house phone package. i didnt think i would win but i got this text message. stupidly i called them and gave them everything. and i had a weird feeling after and so called the cancelation number to cancel what i was getting and the lady had no idea what i was talking about. i called wal mart and they didnt have a clue either. i feel so aweful and taken advantage of. let this be a lesson. dont do it. i called the number and it's a personal sprint phone!!

Just received the text. I called the 1-877 number and was transferred over to a man. He immediately started asking for my name. I gave him a fake name and told him before I gave him any more information I wanted to know who he was and why he texted me. He told me he needed more information before he could "go to the next screen". I told him he should know why I was calling, since he sent me a text saying I won a $200 gift card. He then sighed and hung up on me.

I think this is somehow tied to a debt collector.  Some [***] named Peter Smith has been giving his creditors my phone number.  I have owned this number for over 10 years, and I have never known anyone named Peter Smith.  I also don't owe anyone one red cent.  But for the past year, I have been getting VERY annoying calls from his creditors, who refuse to believe that I don't know him.

Well, I got this text yesterday and it is addressed to Peter.  It reads:
"Peter Free $200 Retail Gift Voucher.  Get yours today by taking our quick 4-question survey..." blah blah blah...you know the rest.  

Now why in the world would they think this was Peter Smith's number if they didn't get the info from a creditor or collection agency?
