Received text on my cell phone telling me I had won a $1,000 gift card from Wal-Mart, and directing me to a website to collect the prize. I generally don't do business with Wal-mart, so I suspect it's a come-on or scam of some sort. In any regard, I don't want to receive junk texts on my cell phone!

Umm yeah i got it too..i thing is junk but WTF? IN the cell phone text now!? where do we go?

Many people are getting a text message with such an offer but, as it turns out, it's all a scam.

The message started circulating years ago but is rearing its ugly head once again.

In the message, users are told they'll get the gift card just for clicking the link or completing a survey.

Walmart says it does not offer $1,000 gift cards in this manner.

If you get the message, do not click on the link.

Another scam going around is hitting email inboxes.

In this one, a message appears to come from the Better Business Bureau saying the agency has received a complaint from you.

The message includes a link, purportedly for more information. Again, do not click on the link and, if you have in the past, run a full virus and spyware scan on your computer.
