I just received both an email then a text with the offer of hnivag won either an iPad or a $1000 gift card to Walmart. My first thought was honestly, what would I do with a Walmart giftcard! the web address they gave is what clued me in most strongly to it being a scam (though the random offer of free stuff is suspect enough!). it was bit.ly/XXhloh. the number on my text message was 323-680-4286. hey, if you wanna try your luck, my winner # was 75882. thanks.p.s. funny i see that some people were offered the 1k giftcard for Netflix rather than Walmart. interesting. hope these scammers get caught before they trap too many unsuspecting people!

Smart credit use like you call it is snitehmog that we all should focus on.There are spammers everywhere, and I think that these guidelines that you have given and some common sense will help make sure that nothing wrong can happen.I think the major point is that people should be aware of all alternatives when it comes to problems with credit cards.
