Here's what it said:
Walmart Gift Card Text Message Scams - March 9, 2012
In the last few days there has been a sudden increase in scam text messages referring people to a site where they can “claim a Walmart Gift Card” by entering certain private personal information. These attacks that take place through SMS Text message technologies to personal mobile phones are scams and are in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Walmart.

Just got the same text. SCAM!!!

Text to go to website to claim 1000 walmart card

shame on you

I want my gift card

There is no gift card.  Its a scam.  Identity thieft.

If you talk to the caller he will ask for a bank account number or credit card number or credit card number to cover shipping and handling.  He will spend all of your money.  He will never send you a gift card.

text message saying I won Free $1,000 WalMart Gift Card and to go to promocenter.ws/walmart and enter WALL.
Didn't do it, while I have done numerous surveys in hopes of winning one of these it clwarly states If I winn I would be contacted by mail.

Same scam text for $1000 gift card. 703-309-5255.
Why can't the government shut these criminals down??????

Received text message from 703-309-522, saying I had won $1000 Walmart gift card.

Number called me along with several other fake numbers. The calls rang my phone off the hook for nearly an hour and it was after 12 midnight.  Do not answer it is just someone wanting information, possibly to sell or such.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:
