Consumer Action Line: Scam alert: phony Wal-Mart callers

Consumer Action Line: Scam alert: phony Wal-Mart callers: "The Better Business Bureau of Silicon Valley has issued an alert on scam phone calls. If you receive a phone call from 'Wal-Mart' offering free coupons and other items for $3.95, it is probably a scam. The callers identify themselves as Wal-Mart. They ask for payment by check and they ask for your bank account number. Do not give this information out -- to anyone -- ever. According to an assistant manager at the Wal-Mart store in Salinas, Wal-Mart does not call consumers to offer coupons, they do not offer coupons at all."
