今天有多个phone call没接,早上七个,中午五个。 查了下电话,沃尔玛的,打电话过去,印度女孩,说他们就deal with orders 什么的,其他不管。 然后下午又有电话,一接起来,居然跟我说中文(台湾口音) Red flags马上就立起来了。对方说有orders在我名下,我火大的说没有,电话挂了。为了以防万一。我去Walmart 账号下检查了下,没有任何order,信用卡也过期了。 一会再度打过来,还是同一个,居然问我为啥这么生气…我说很忙,没有order,关了账号吧,对方立刻回答说我们马上关,我起了疑心,这也太心急了吧…而且沃尔玛账号又不是Costco 或者Amazon prime要付钱,那是free registered 的,我就说这样吧。对方说我们已经开始关闭了,要verification code,然后同时我的信箱里真的收到官网的code!我当时没想明白,只是本能觉得不对,马上挂掉电话,后面又有几个电话,没理。
刚才和同事梳理了下,scam无疑,对方肯定想log in我的account,没有密码需要verification code,同时电话跟我说账号不对要验证,要关闭,需要verification code, 只能说讲中文露馅(那句不知道我为啥这么生气也是非常不专业,亏我还内疚了一分钟觉得太rude)
对方抓住了Walmart不像普通bank能直接联系防盗部门这个漏洞,终极目的只是想要verification code,给大家提个醒。 最近用过weee…..
Update:
An email from Walmart after I filed a complaint...
"Walmart doesn''''t call or solicit customers to offer shopping cards, shopping sprees, or membership discounts in return for bank account, credit card, or personal information. We don''''t solicit customers with these incentives for them to take surveys.
We don''''t employ mystery shoppers. Any company that claims to be affiliated with Walmart for this type of program may be part of a telemarketing scam. Some telemarketers and internet ad companies use the Walmart name to interest the customer.
You may report the solicitation to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)."
