I received a text about a Wal-Mart secret shopper assignment I never asked for, also I know Wal-Mart doesn’t use secret shoppers. The next day I received a large envelop in the mail with a check for $1,870.23 and a letter with an assignment to deposit the check then buy 4 $400 Wal-Mart gift cards and send them pics of the cards and the pin. Supposedly I’m to be looking for "illegal" gift cards. Also it says to be discreet and I have 3 days from receiving the letter to complete the job. They have texted me about 3 times today for an update.
