"Free Walmart Gift Certificate To Senior Citizens Ages 50 to 85" Rip Off!!!!!

well, they stop any alleged 'arrest' for removing the tags on mattress---remember'" removing, this tag is a federal offense."
I suppose the mattress police were all asleep.

What really burns my bacon is 'the poor holocaust victims are still starving.
If they were born in 1941, they are now 78 years old, just how many 78 y/o holocaust victims are still around?

I wonder if Walmart has anything to do with this at all. When one reads the fine print of the terms for those types of policies, the trickery becomes obvious.

Yup., I got that in the mail- A " Free Walmart Gift Certificate".Now, let's look in the gift horse's mouth. There's a card that says I "qualify" for a "state regulated program", which will pay for 100% of all funeral expenses UP to $35,000., tax free ,of course. Walmart is pleased to pass on this "no cost information as a resident of Pennsylvania." I have to return the card to get my "FREE WALMART GIFT CARD".
IT IS for that not so great 50-85 senior life insurance. Ya know, the kind that if you are alive enough to send in a premium you are "accepted". What I found offensive was the vague reference that this was some sort of free, governmental program. "State regulated" as in, yes, the State of PA regulates insurance companies.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised Walmart lends its name & goodwill for such a flimsy insurance promo.

So, sorry, all of you, who live outside of Pennsylvania-just eat your hearts out.

I got this today in Mississippi. I think I remember getting it in previous years; they must be doing this in all states.
 
Fuzzbuddy I wouldn't be surprised if Walmart has nothing to do with it. It wouldn't be the first time sheisters used a famous name without authorization. But if Walmart did authorize...shame on them.
 
As long as people fall for the hucksters, the hucksters will be out there in full force (farce?). I don't respond to mail, email, or phone calls trying to get me to buy something, donate money, etc. When it comes to buying insurance and that sort of product that I can't go into a store and check out myself, I tend to go by word of mouth. There are plenty of people I know in our condo association, though my wife's church, etc., who can steer us to insurance type of products, should we need that. Then, I am talking in person to a real person about that product.

Well now I don't feel left out. I just got a text that said I've been chosen to win a FREE gaming console if I click the link right now! Well thanks but no thanks. The last time a gaming console was needed in this house, was at least 37 years ago and it was an Atari. I don't like that these people got my number.
 
EDUCATION! That's what people really need. You need to be educated & not be a sucker for every con artist out there & the good lord knows there are plenty. The crooks are on the internet, in the mails & at your front door. You have to learn to be smart & you had better learn to say NO! Just in the last 2 weeks I got phone calls from someone offering to clean my septic tank. Got another call from someone who wanted to vacuum my furnace pipes. Thing is I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment & I don't need any of those "come on sucka" deals. The crooks are so aggressive that they will try to break into your bank, your computer or send some phony offers in the mail. Search the internet & look for a website from your local or regional consumer association. There is plenty of information telling of recent rip-offs. Invest an hour or two to learn from the poor people who have been "taken for a ride". Remember what that circus guy (P.T. Barnum) said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

Actually, there are thousands of elderly holocaust victims still alive in 2020. Google it!
 
I sometimes mark unwanted mail return to sender. I don’t know if the post office does it but it sure makes me feel good thinking it might cost them extra for return mail. I never open email that looks suspicious. I never answer phone calls either. If they are legitimate they can leave me a voicemail. Not on any social media either I think it’s a waste of time.
 
Another despicable scam: The Spousal Equivalent's mother used to call us in tears when she'd receive another letter that would state something like "the government is going to stop social security" or "your service-related pension is going to be stopped" or the like. She'd be terrified until we'd make her read the rest of the letter, which was always from some company that would "fight for your rights!" and "make sure the government doesn't do this!" if only you'd "join in the fight!" by sending them a "donation" so that they could keep on "standing up for you!"

Lowest form of pond scum, preying on the elderly and trying to scare them into giving up their money.
