The sites have no connection to Walmart. They’re part of a network of more than 120 near-identical domains built to look like a legitimate retailer just long enough to steal your card details.
Fake Walmart websites
The name “Walmart” is doing most of the work here. It’s one of the most recognized retailers in the world, and it’s that familiarity that makes people lower their guard. A shopper who’d hesitate on an unfamiliar website may think nothing of an unusually large discount because the logo, colours, and layout look familiar.
That trust hasn’t been earned by the site. It’s borrowed from a brand that has nothing to do with it.
If you’ve entered your card details on one of these pages, the safest assumption is that your card has been compromised.
