Between April 2016 and July 2017, Walmart froze gift card balances tied to suspected fraud to prevent those balances from being transferred to scammers. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has filed a verified complaint, and if you were targeted by a scam during this period and purchased Walmart gift cards, you may be eligible for compensation.
According to the website, you need to submit your claim by July 14, so if you were affected, act quickly.
