Expert Opinion

It’s startling how often a simple Walmart‑branded caller turns out to be a fraud. Most callers using +1‑800‑966‑6546 claim to be customer support, but patterns in the scripts—pressuring for personal data, vague order references, and a refusal to leave a voicemail—match classic scam behavior. The number is widely reported as spoofed, meaning the displayed ID can be faked to look like a legitimate retailer. To stay safe, let the call go to voicemail, never share credit‑card or Social Security numbers, and verify any request through the official Walmart website or app. Consider adding the number to a call‑blocking list and report it to the FTC or your carrier.
