Do not Call this number by mistaking with actual Walmart customer service.

I got stuck in this scam also in these trying times the bad people really pop up. This is a total scam trying to get money from us by dangling a $100.00 gift card flag out at us. These people really need to be stopped!! It's hard enough out there and now there are these guys scamming us---DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS YOU WILL ONLY LOOSE.

When the greed centers of the brain fire up, the rational centers shut down.

This happened to me. I was trying to call Walmart C/S. Somehow it patched over to this number. $2.95 to have $100 gc mailed to me. ha! Thank God my phone disconnected.  Thank you My GOD!! Don't ever give money to get money. nope

10 years later, 16 Mar 2023, this number is still in operation. I was scammed, but I decided to cancel my credit card to get a replacement just in time to dispute the claim.  Unbelievable that this number is still in operation with the same outfit. I dialed 1800WALLMART by accident and didn't know that such an eight-digit base phone number exist.

It would have been impossible for you to dial that number since it is 11 digits and not 10.  So yes, your post as well as the original one are both "unbelievable".

Actually, the bogus number above (in total) is 12 digits.  A legit number in the US can have 11, if you include the leading "1".

Here in So. CA, there are so many active phone numbers and area-code overlays, that we are required to dial the leading "1", then the area code and number for *all* calls.

I was under the impression (for many years) that if you dialed more than 11 digits, that it would simply ignore any above 11.  That might have been the case with the old mechanical Strowger switches, but not any more.

BTW, it was fascinating to be in a telephone central office full of banks of Stroger switches.  In the middle of the night, when a single call was dialed, you could stand in the middle of the room, and follow the connection as it was being made from an incoming line to an outgoing trunk.  During the day, you couldn't hear yourself think, in there.  I'm an EE, and worked in digital telecom R&D, in the '80s.

I didn't count the first one for that reason.

I tried to get a refund for online products that I did not receive. I was told to call this number to get my refund. Instead 3 memberships later which I said No to, they charged my account over $10.00. This number is one of the biggest scams!

You were not instructed to dial "WALLMART".  You were instructed to dial "WALMART". There is only one "L" in WALMART".  The company was named after Sam Walton, with one "L".

You dialed it wrong, and the telecriminals count on that.

Even if someone accidentally calls the "fake" number, you have to be very stupid to give anyone your credit card number for a "FREE GIFT CARD". IF IT IS FREE---IT WILL BE FREE WITHOUT ANY CHARGES. Since Covid struck, I ordered a ton of items delivered. If I had a problem with damaged items or wrong size, I called customer service through the Walmart website. I was NEVER asked for credit card information. I would tell them the order number--they would repeat the item I had bought and arrange my refund. I never had a problem with Walmart online orders.

Since an 11 digit number cannot go through and since no phone number can start with a 1 then the number being dialed is 800-925-5627 which is why people are getting to a fake call center.  Walmart's customer number is 800-925-6278.  Now hopefully we can put this useless thread to rest.

"Since an 11 digit number cannot go through and since no phone number can start with a 1..."

Every number in the North American Numbering Plan starts with +1.

So +1 then a three-digit area code then a seven-digit local number.  You can usually leave the leading 1- off a local call (although NYC LAX ORD SFO are exceptions) but this is a freephone number and is therefore dialled as long-distance, which usually means dialling the whole thing.

The use of a spurious twelfth digit (such as +1-800-RENTACAR instead of +1-800-REN-TACA) is normally ignored by landline or anything pretending to dial the same way as a landline. Once it has eleven digits with a leading 1- it puts the call through without waiting for more.

Nothing unusual there, although occasionally a few devices with mobile-phone style dial (which expects the user to dial the whole number, then press the green button) might not like an overdial with an extra digit or two. VoIP sometimes falls into that category, depending on the device.

As for the typosquatting? There's a long history of this sort of crap. Apparently AT&T used to have 1-800-OPERATOR and a competitor registered 1-800-OPERATE (AT&T is now 1-800-CALL-ATT). There was also an infamous case where some dodgy vendor registered 1-800-H0LIDAY (not to be confused with a major intercontinental hotel chain who own 1-800-HOLIDAY, note the 'zero' versus the letter 'oh' - the latter being trusted because the letter O sponsored an episode of Sesame Street). The impostor got their knuckles rapped by the trial court, only for this to be overturned on appeal.

Caveat emptor.

No number in the North American Numbering Plan can start with a 0 or a 1 in either the area code or the prefix.  You used to have to dial a "1" to get long distance but you don't have to do that anymore in 99% of the cases.  I will provide a reliable, verifiable reference later when I have time to locate it.  Now, go troll elsewhere.
