Walmart has gotten a reputation as one of the most trusted retailers in the world, but they are under heavy fire after a new scheme was launched. A warning has been issued to the public about a new scheme where a victim receives a letter in the mail with a check. Unfortunately, the check and letter both “look” to be official. The letter reportedly tells the recipient that they have been accepted into the “Quality Control Division” at Walmart. It goes on to inform them of their new “responsibilities.” The check included requires activation with a user id and a password which is supplied in the letter. Once the recipient tries to deposit the check into their bank account, the people responsible have access to the unsuspecting victim’s bank account.
