Walmart Gift Card Scam Remission Class Action Lawsuit

The U.S. Department of Justice has secured nearly $4 million in remission from a Walmart gift card scam.

Walmart gift card scams allegedly started in 2015 when fraudsters instructed victims to purchase Walmart gift cards ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Between 2016 and 2017, Walmart reportedly froze the balances of gift cards suspected to be a part of the fraudulent scheme and the Department of Justice sought this frozen money to refund customers.

Walmart gift card scams can occur in a variety of ways and often target consumers by posing as loved ones in trouble or a legitimate company or government agency.

The Department of Justice filed a complaint for forfeiture of the $3,958,060.84 in gift card balances frozen by Walmart. This money is now available for remission payments.
