Fake Walmart websites steal shoppers’ credit card details
More than 120 fake Walmart websites were found using extremely low prices on alcohol to trick people into entering payment card details. These look like real Walmart stores, but the goal is to steal your card information and money.
Who is at risk
Anyone shopping online for Walmart deals, especially people drawn to unusually cheap alcohol offers, is at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for Walmart pages with prices that seem too good to be true, unusual website addresses, rushed checkout prompts, or requests for card details on unfamiliar pages.
What to do
Do not buy from links in ads, texts, or emails; instead, go directly to Walmart's official website or app, and if you already entered card details on a suspicious site, contact your card provider right away.
