This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I received an email from Wal-Mart Notice The notice said I had received a $1000.00 gift card from walmart. This came after I had filled out a survey. I also received one from someone else saying I had won a lap top computer. (this one I didn't open). I am sure this may be plishing. Now what do I do to stop this from affecting my computer or my identity?

anybody who thinks this is legit is a [censor]. There are services that use promotions like this. they even use some of the same vendors, netflix etc. But they are no;t offering 1000 gift cards obvioulsy. these use like 50 gift cards or poihnt systems that u trade in for gift cards. Anybody who took the time to do any of those promos is a fool and a pitiful excuse for a adult. As an adult, u should resaerch and investigate before u perform so many tasks for a questionable reward.

What is with all the Walmart bashing? The fine print on the first page said the offer was in NO WAY affiliated with Walmart. That was the first indication of scam. Anyone can claim to give away a gift card. Don't be a sucker.

I went to walmart.com to get check out some things for my kids bday presents and thats when the pop up for the 1, 000 dollar walmart card sweepstakes came up. Since I was on the walmart website i figured it was real. SO i filled it out, it didnt ask any personal information just a few short questions. Then about a week and ahalf later I got a congratulations email, and had to anwser a few questions. still no personal info.. bank account social.. nothing. just random if i smoked, had kids etc. then a day later a guy called to congradulate me and asked me a few random questions and I asked what the questions pertained to, he said I won the 1, 000 dollar walmart gift card and for me to watch for the fedex truck that they would deliver it. This was a week ago, still no fedex truck. It seemed like an actual contest, but apparently it was a scam. Not sure what kind, being that I gave no personal info... but I am pretty bummed. Was looking forward to that. :(

Yo recibí el mismo mensaje supuestamente de Walmart decía que gané 1, 000 gift card en Junio/30. Traté de recordar de donde procedía este mensaje, pero solo logré copiar los supuestos números de costumer service. Aqui se los dejo para cuando reciban un email de walmart puedan identificarlo.

First of all, thank God for another day. I know now not to mess around with these false rewards and offers set up by the devil himself to destroy our lives. You see, I would like to ask you all some questions. Would You consider yourselves good people? If so, then right now how about we take a rundown of the 10 commandments? Have any of you ever told a lie, even if you think it was a small one? If so, then that makes you a liar. Have any of you ever stolen anything, even if you think it was small? If so, that makes you a thief.

Have any of you ever commited adultery? Jesus Christ tells us in his word, in the book of matthew the 5th chapter and the 28th verse, and I quote: BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT WHOSOEVER LOOKETH ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER HATH COMMITED ADULTERY WITH HER ALREADY IN HIS HERAT. If you have done this, then that makes you an adulterer at heart. Have you ever used God's name in vain? If so, then that makes you a curse word user of God's name. God also tells us to keep his commandments in our hearts because no one who does these things will enter the kingdom of God as stated in 1st Corinthians the 6th chapter 9th verse.

So if any of you admit to any of these things, then that makes you a lying, theiving, adulterous, blasphemer at heart. God has set a day in which he will judge all of the living and the dead. This is called judgment day. So if you were to stand before God on judgment day with all of these things, as well as the rest of your sins still on record in the record books, do you think you would be found innocent or guilty? Of course you would be found guilty. And what if God were to give you what you desreved. Do you think you would go to heaven or hell. Of course you would go to hell. Because the word of God says in romans the 6th chapter and the 23rd verse, for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So do you know what Jesus did to save us all from our sins, hell, and the lake of fire so that he could pay the price for our sins so that we would not have to pay the price? God, the one and only HOLY FATHER, came up with a plan before he even created the world because he already knew and knows all that would ever happen in history, because he knows everything. That plan was to send his one and only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to earth to be born of the virgin mary so that he could grow up, and at the age of 33 years old, suffer and die on the calvary cross to pay the penalty for our sins so that we would never have to pay for them in hell, or the lake of fire. Jesus was buried. But on the third day he arose from the dead defeating satan, sin, and death for all eternity!

So all we have to do to be saved is to believe this gospel of the kingdom, confess our sins to Jesus, repent of our sins, seriously ask Jesus to forgive us for all of our sins against him(everything that we have ever done, said, or thought wrong), and accept him as our Lord and Savior by asking him to come into our hearts and lives to become our Lord and Savior in Jesus's name, amen. This is the prayer of salvation. If you pray this prayer, and mean it, you will truly be saved by our awesome savior, Jesus Christ! HALLELUJAH! So I urge you all to repent of your sins before it is everlasting too late. Jesus said for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the son of Man shall return. Jesus said, repent and be saved, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

So the best time to repent and be saved is now. The word of God says in 2nd Corinthians the 6th chapter and the 2nd verse, behold now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation! HALLELUJAH!

I used to think it was a scam as well but I actually wanted to try it out and see. So I went through the offer requirements and made sure to cxl the offers within the stated timeframe so it didn't cost me much money (pay attention to all of the guidelines so you can qualify for the giftcard). I spent about $50. I filled out the confimation form and 5 weeks later I received a visa giftcard by Fedex for $500 bucks...I was surprised! I paid bills with it. Now I recently completed offers for a $1000 card (cost me $45 in offers) and I am waiting on that one. It does work!

I received a $500 giftcard!
I thought it was a scam too but thought I'd try it anyways. I completed the required offers and spent about $40 bucks. I filled out the confirmation form once all of the requirements were met and about 5 weeks later I received a $500 visa card! It came by Fed ex..I was super excited! I couldn't believe it almost..I just paid bills with it. I just did another one for $1000 visa and now I am waiting for that one to come. It is not a scam ..it is real. You have to be careful though and read the small print regarding qualifications to make sure you do everything stated so you qualify to receive the giftcard...remember to cxl the offers (according to the rules)...otherwise you just waste your money...

i know all the emials that offer you 100.00 500.00 and even 1, 000.00 walmart gift cards are scams. and i was messing around on one of them and the fastest way you can figure out its a scam is if you put in your email and when the offers pop up just click to the next offers page and close it then a whole list of other gift cards offers will pop up. thats how i tell its a scam

Hey FOOLS, this has nothing to do with Wal-Mart, it even says they aren't affiliated with them. It is a scam to get your personal information, and to get you to buy things. Please open your naive little eyes. People just don't give away $1, 000 for nothing.

Ugh, why are there so many idiotic people in this world? No wonder the rest of the world thinks all American's are imbeciles.

After reading all these posts about the "Walmart " 1000$ gift card .. i received a text msg not, an e-mail ..I have not partaken in any "offers" or "trials" of anything .. I did receive a Fed ex slip sooo. who knows ? I may have actually won, or it could b a free sample of something i sent away for .. Either way, my advice to people is .. when entering a sweepstakes contest, DO NOT buy anything, or sign up for anything ... A legit contest only needs ur address, perhaps a phone number to notify you, NOT scam you .. Good luck to all ... :)

So this morning, I got a text message from [protected], stating that I won $1000 gift card from Walmart. I know it couldn't be true, but my question is how did this devil get my cell number. I called the number, the recording states that the voice mail box has not been set up yet. If Walmart can investigate and probably bring this fool to court, the mess will stop. I feel like Walmart sold my cell number to so crazy looney tooney out there. I have bought things online from Walmart and always use my cell as a contact number. I am sure that is how this person got my number. Please Walmart, so something about this madness.

something has to be done about this $1000.00 gift card giveaway for filling out a survey on line. after it was filled out like they wanted i ended spending $1200.00 for 5 years of magazines. now i have to try to explain why i am not or have not received my gift card. i think a law suit is in the future and anyone scammed by this should be contacted!

I just got a message on my safe phone that my purchase last month won a $1000 Gift Card. Click here to claim; www.Wmart Buyer.com
there isn't any such site. Right now we could use that card with three grandchildren going to be born in the next year. I hate to be taken advantage of.
