    Got the SCAM text message from 310-871-3853 - going into Walmart to speak with the Manager.  This is rediculous.  I put in the .com address and everything that came up was BOGUS or SCAM.  Go Walmart, huh?????

    I got one too.....do NOT click the link.....its called "phishing" clicking the link downloads malware/spyware on your phone.....this same stuff gets on your computer (thats why things you've recently searched for on amazon/google appear on other sites, companies use it to sell you more stuff) On a computer it can be taken care of with anti-malware and anti-spyware programs, but phones aren't designed like that. If you click on the link and get the bad stuff on there, then hackers can use it to get a hold of your information, even your bank/card numbers (they backtrace your banking apps or your app store info). If you have clicked it, I would call your bank and notify them and see what they suggest..

    I also received the same thing on my cell phone. I did not go to the web, but I will send them a not so nice message! I think it's one of those things that you have to fill out survey after survey and have to agree to get some of the items. It takes you to that place in Egypt!
