A phishing scam against Wal-Mart
Yesterday, I received the following e-mail:
Does it look suspect to you?
When I visited the link, sure enough, I found a survey. In fact, all the links made it look like I was at the walmart.com site. Eagerly (ha ha), I started to take the survey which was only about 3 questions long. When I reached the end I clicked on “proceed”.
The next page stated I had won and that $150 would be credited to my credit card. All I need do was to provide my information and card number and it would be credited in three days.
Luckily, I didn’t provide any information. I decided to forward the message to Wal-Mart.
I received the following response:
What are the lessons here?
Do people really respond to messages like this with personal and account information?
