Got a Call from 800-925-6278? Here’s How to Know If It’s Really Walmart or a Scam

If you’ve recently received a call or text from 800-925-6278, you’re not alone. Many people look up this number to check if it’s really Walmart — or something more suspicious. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes, 800-925-6278 Is Walmart’s Customer Service Number

Walmart uses this toll-free number for customer support, and in many cases, calls from it are completely legitimate. But here’s the catch — scammers can spoof official numbers to make it look like they’re calling from Walmart, even when they’re not.


How to Tell If It’s a Legit Call or a Scam

  • Did you recently contact Walmart? If not, a surprise call is a red flag.
  • Are they asking for personal or financial info? Walmart reps don’t usually request sensitive data over the phone.
  • Does the caller pressure you? Scammers often try to create urgency — real agents won’t rush you.

What You Should Do

  • Hang up and call Walmart directly from their website.
  • Never share your Social Security number, banking details, or one-time codes over the phone.
  • Use a trusted security app like Trend Micro to scan for scam texts or phishing links.

Scammers Are Getting Smarter — Stay One Step Ahead

Unfortunately, spoofed calls are becoming more common, even using real company numbers. That’s why staying informed is your best defense.
