I got a phone call from 13234897473, the message was something like this.... hello thanks for calling you've just won a 100$ rebate from walmart please press one to redeem your 1004 rebate now. I Went through just to see because if it is a scam I like to curse the idiots out when she said ok, all your information is being processed and we will be sending your gift rebate in the mail,......JUST SIMPLY GIVE ME A ONE TIME FEE OF 6.95$ WHAT CARD WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE TODAY. LMFAO. I said I knew you were a scam.... I said the moment you get my card number its gonna be turned from 6,950$ sent somewhere to an over seas account.... I said you stupid bi*** do something to make your life better instead of being a f****ng scammer. im not a scammer the lady replied, check us out at sidekicktv.com I did and they are a scam, DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFO NO ADDRESS NOT AN EMAIL NOT NOTHING! THEY WILL TAKE YOU FOR ALL YOU GOT IF THEY EVEN SEE THAT YOU HAVE A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD ALL THEY NEED IS A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. LUCKILY FOR ME WHEN I FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH IT I GAVE THEM FASE INFO.

Same story as everyone else. Submitted a report on fbi.gov. Scammers are dumb.
| Danny King 2012-04-02 04:50:10 Unknown |

Received the same message that others were receiving congratulating them. This was to receive a $100 Wal-Mart rebate! I called it from a business phone and received a Mark Ray employee ID 43131. They didnt even answer the phone as a company name and the person was hispanic and talked really fast. Beware this is phising and they are trying to get you to pay the $2.95 for postage with a credit card to receive the rebate. Yes I have shopped at Walmart and Bestbuy here recently and I am going to contact the BBB to let them know that this is going on.

I recieved a text same number & message as above. I am really glad you all posted this to help protect all of us. I wonder what Walmart thinks about this scam.
| FR 2012-03-27 22:11:24 Unknown |
I received the same text message. == scam!
| Penguin Mom 2012-03-27 21:19:27 Unknown |
I juste received the same message. I don't want to call them and now I konw that I don't send them the stop message!
Thank you!
| Brandon 2012-03-26 20:37:31 Unknown |
Same. Got it today. Probably some scam or spam service.. I didn't respond either.
| Mary 2012-03-23 19:01:49 Unknown |
I received the same message as well from 561-542-5710 and it read: "Congratulations! As a thank you, call 855-768-1763 to receive your $100 Wal-Mart rebate! 2 end reply STOP ". I will not call them and everyone this is a scam like everyone else is saying. Don't even send a stop reply because that lets them know your number is good. The bad thing is if you do not have unlimited texting these text messages will be charged to you. You can talk to your service provider about call blocking, but there is a limited number of numbers you can block with the service and most service providers charge for the call blocking service.

Got the email:
561-526-5626
Congratulations. As a thank you call 855-768-1763 to receive your $100 Wal-Mart rabate, 2 end reply stop.
I called and they wanted my debit.credit info to process a $2.99 processing fee. I requested that the girl email me information about their company before providing any more information. She said she was unable to do that so I told the foreign sounding girl she was trying to do a scam and she then politely said, thank you and hung up.

CORRECTION!!! Sorry.
Make sure you file it under SCAMS & SAFETY with the sub-category of Submit a Tip on Crime/Terrorism.
These are the directions I received. The regular scam section does not contain phone or Internet fraud.
Best wishes to you all.

Go to FBI.gov and file a complaint under SCAMS AND FRAUD. The more that people report this, the faster the FBI will go after the callers. Of course, the sheer number of people getting the messages means the calling number is probably spoofed and will be hard to track. Report it anyway! Thanks for the entries!
| Andrea 2012-03-21 14:09:54 SMS |
Same message as others: "Congratulations! As a thank you, call 855-768-1763 to receive your $100 Wal-Mart rebate! 2 end reply STOP. " I replied STOP, thinking it would send a confirmation that it would stop like other text marketing, but nothing.
| Marie 2012-03-19 18:31:38 Unknown |
I am tired of getting texts from people I don't know and places I have never been. What can I do to stop all this?
| Brink 2012-03-17 16:03:39 Unknown |
Got the same text this morning from 561-454-9677. Thanks for all the info, and I won't be calling them either...
| Tim 2012-03-16 17:41:20 Unknown |
Got the same text message as above. Thanks for posting
| Amy 2012-03-13 23:04:03 SMS |
I received a text from +1 (954) 618-7565 with the same messages above...
| Dan 2012-03-13 11:46:36 Unknown |
They haven't given up. Try filling out a Do Not Call complaint. At least it's something.
| Amber 2012-03-12 22:14:29 Unknown |
These numbers are just phishing (much like scammers do on e-mail). This has now become their way of doing it with our cell phones. Pretty irritating and I wish there were a way to actually report them and stop it - but even if there were a way with this specific number, they would just find another one :(
Advice: Don't respond and don't call the number or use any information they are sending you.
| Nana 2012-03-10 14:48:56 SMS |
I received a text message saying that I, won a $100 prize from walmart. I didn't reply.

i pay more for spammers texts than work txts
| David 2012-02-29 18:08:06 SMS |
Ditto, same Walmart rebate scam. Hopefully I won't be billed for the text messages from these people.
| Makarand Amondikar 2012-02-26 04:40:40 Unknown |
I got this message today as well
Is there way to report to police or track the person ?
Let some one pay and then sue them for trouble
Thanks

| Ronald 2012-02-15 15:58:31 Unknown |
Received a spam text from 561-526-6557 that said: "Congratulations! As a thank you, call 855-768-1763 to receive your $100 Wal-Mart rebate! 2 end reply STOP" so I called it and some foreign guy answered and asked me for my First and Last name. He then wanted me to pay a $2.95 activation fee for this so called "free gift card" and when I told him I wasn't going to give him my payment information, he hung up on me. Scam.
