2010 WALMART JOBS - DETAILS IN ATTACHMENT (Possible Secret Shopper Job Scam From "WAL-MART/WALTER FRANCO")

As I read this, I just get a kind of gloomy feeling about it. I don’t know if Wal-Mart is looking for secret shoppers or not, but I have a feeling if they are, they’re not going to generate an e-mail as sloppy as this one. I would truly think twice before replying to this, and if you want to be a secret shopper, go directly to the Wal-Mart homepage and sign up. You really shouldn’t depend on what could turn out to be a scam e-mail to prompt you to become a secret shopper. And, why does Wal-Mart need to send an "attachment"? Think about that.
