Yep, got a call from them. Yesterday and again, today. The caller ID says 'Walmart' however, it's NOT. It is a local 717 PA telephone number. When you call them back, there is a recording that states that "the office is currently closed, and to please call back M-F 7am to 4pm Pacific time. WE are on East coast time. Hmmm....
It's some guy with an accent (you can hear a bunch of people talking in the background like it's a huge telemarketing or SCAM organization. They call and ask for (in this case, my husband by the first name) a person in the household and accurately identify the model and make of his vehicle. They start to talk about an extended warranty. I decided to listen and explain politely that he was not here at the moment, and could I help them. They further state that they must talk to the vehicle owner, will try again later, and hang up.
I immediately called Walmart's Corporate headquarters and reported that somebody was scamming using THEIR number. They took my info.
Today, they called again. Same beginnings only this time, I asked: "Do you know that your caller ID comes up as Walmart?" They abruptly hung up. Enough said.
