I had a voicemail message on my landline call stating it was an important notification that Walmart received a preauthorization purchase of a Playstation 5 special edition bundle with a 3Dwire headset from my name & phone number for a cost of $1,537.35. If I didn't authorize the transaction, call them back immediately to cancel or speak to an authorized representative. Alternatively, I could call their toll free number (833)696-2192 and speak to their customer service. Message said to act quickly to prevent unauthorized activity on my account. I do have a Walmart account, so I checked it so see if someone had made an online order under my account and checked my credit cards to see if there were any unauthorized purchases. Finding none, and knowing it was a scam, I called the number and got Ryan in "customer support." He started asking name and address and hung up when I gave a fake address. The noise in the background is very loud and sounds like a large, busy call center.
