Online ‘Walmart survey' is a scam, BBB says

The Better Business Bureau is warning Atlanta consumers to beware of a scam that claims to be an online satisfaction survey from the retailing giant Walmart, but instead is an attempt to steal personal credit information.

The e-mail ruse claims that recipients have been selected to access the "Walmart 2 Steps Survey" and win a $150 gift certificate. Consumers are linked to a survey and later asked for credit card information. But Walmart says it has no such survey.

Atlanta fraud officials say the scheme has surfaced in St. Louis in recent days and they're on the look out for it here.
