Sam's Club Scam Email - See An Example Here
Phishing - The Sam's Club Email Scam
This is not scam created BY Sam's Club ; they are a victim as well. If you receive an email similar to the one below, DO NOT click on the link, and do not enter any information on the forms there.
The website that the link leads to is a spoof; a fake website, not created by Sam's Club . When you enter the information they ask for, you will simply be handing the thieves the keys to your bank accounts. That is how spoofing and phishing works.
Remember, no reputable business would send you an email requesting your personal account information. Any such email you receive asking for this information should be considered phony and brought to the attention of the business being 'phished'.
Anytime you need to go to a website for your bank, credit card companies or other personal, financial or confidential information; do not follow a link in an email; just type their address in your browser directly (such as www.samsclub.com. )
Below are actual phishing emails that started circulating in late 2022. We removed the links below to the phisher's website.
Here is what Sam's Club suggests:
- Completely anonymous - Look for a Sam's Club Greeting: Sam's Club will never send an email with the greeting "Hell" followed by your email address or "Dear Sam's Club User" or "Dear Sam's Club Member." Real Sam's Club emails will address you by your first and last name or the business name associated with your Sam's Club account.
- If you believe you have received a fraudulent email, please forward the entire email-including the header information-to Privacy@samsclub.com We investigate every spoof reported. Please note that the automatic response you get from us may not address you by name.
- Don't share personal information vian email: We will never ask you to enter your password or financial information in an email or send such information in an email. You should only share information about your account once you have logged in to https://www.Sam's Club .com/.
- Don't download attachments: Sam's Club will never send you an attachment or software update to install on your computer.
What to do:
If you receive an email purportedly from Sam's Club that contains any of the above, Sam's Club recommends that you:
- Treat it as a scam or spoof and report it to Sam's Club immediately:
- Attach the suspicious message to an email and send to: OnlineAbuse@walmart.com.
(do not forward the email, compose a new email and attach the email to it. They specifically say to create a NEW email and attach the same email with the original subject line to the new email ) - Delete the suspicious email from your inbox
