Walmart will pay $4 million as compensation to customers: who will receive it and how to request it? - AS USA

The United States Department of Justice has secured nearly $4 million ($3,958,060.84) in remission of a Walmart gift card scam.

According to Top Class Actions, the Walmart gift card scams allegedly began in 2015 when scammers instructed victims to purchase Walmart gift cards ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Between 2016 and 2017, Walmart froze balances on gift cards suspected of being part of the fraudulent scheme. Subsequently, the Department of Justice sought this frozen money so it could reimburse customers.

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

As explained by Top Class Actions, the referral program benefits consumers who purchased a Walmart gift card between April 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017.

Consumers may receive a referral 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 other source. It is worth mentioning that the compensation will not cover the collateral expenses related to the scheme.

How to request payment from Walmart?

Consumers who purchased a Walmart gift card between April 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017, as a result of a fraudulent scheme in which scammers directed victims to buy gift cards must submit a claim for the funds. To receive a payment, consumers must submit a form by June 29, 2023, according to the requests page. Here you can submit the request form.

Customers submitting the claim must have documentation proving the purchase of the gift cards. Individuals who do not qualify for compensation should not file a claim.
