Message said that I had won $1,000 from Walmart. I suspected that it was a scam, so I did not return the call. Hope that these scams can be stopped, since they are annoying, costly and dishonest.

TennesseeCaller type: Scammer/Fraudster
Received SMS re: $1000 Walmart win. I knew it was a scan and completed some of the garbage survey just to see how far it would go.
They required a download of a file named like "IWANTTHIS.exe" which i researched - it is malware.
What can't their phone company cut them off? Couldn't we launch a ton of calls at that number to jam things up? Very VERY annoying.

Got the automated call to my cell at 6:02 am 3/18/12; it said I had won a $1,000 Walmart Gift Card. The caller's phone number is 571-225-8768. Figured it would not be legitimate, guess it's not. Damned scammers!!

A text saying the exact same thing..."$1000 Wal-Mart gift card...." but from a different number; same area code. the number that called me was 571-232-7359. I live in Atlanta and received this call this morning 3/18/2012. Do I have to start a new complaint because this is a new number? Thank you.
GeorgiaI was called this morning by this "service center" . Woman probably African, speaking english (which is not my mother tongue, being French). I held her on the phone for 20' then hung up. That's the best strategy with these scammers. Make them loose their time and not possibly scam somebody else.
