Did you receive the “special offer” from Walmart that asks you to do an online survey for rewards? Be careful. It’s a scam!

Read carefully and you will find many typos and mistakes in the email; the title is even misspelled as WALMRAT instead of WALMART. The buttons contained in these emails can be malicious or phishing links and lure you into sending your personal/financial information to the scammers.
