Walmart gift card scam remission - Top Class Actions

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

The remission program benefits consumers who purchased a Walmart gift card between April 1, 2016, and July 31, 2017, as a result of a fraudulent scheme where scammers directed victims to purchase gift cards.

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.

Consumers can receive a remission payment based on the amount loaded onto the Walmart gift cards they purchased. Payments will be reduced if consumers already received payments from a bank or another source. Remission payments will not cover collateral expenses related to the scheme. 

There is no exclusion or objection deadline for this remission.

There is no final approval hearing for this remission.

In order to receive a payment, consumers must file a remission form by July 14, 2023.
