The Walmart iPad Pro scam is a fake giveaway that claims you were “chosen” to receive a brand new iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard after completing a short survey. It appears as a full-page pop up, a landing page that imitates Walmart branding, and push notification prompts from unrelated domains. The goal is to trick you into clicking, sharing personal data, installing junk apps, or approving browser notifications that later blast more scams.
What the Walmart iPad Pro Scam Looks Like
Common traits we see in screenshots and live captures:
- A large Walmart logo and a product image of an iPad Pro on a keyboard case.
- Headlines such as Congratulations and instructions to Continue or Start Survey.
- A fake progress bar and a countdown timer that creates urgency.
- A second pop up that overlays the page and pushes you to click OK.
- A separate browser prompt asking to allow notifications. The prompt comes from an unrelated domain and not walmart.com.
Example of a domain used by this campaign:
cuwebi.dailyspainfinds.com
Using our free WHOIS Lookup Tool, we analyzed the phishing domain dailyspainfinds.com and confirmed that it was registered on June 17, 2025, through PDR Ltd. (PublicDomainRegistry.com), a registrar often used by temporary or fraudulent websites. The registration was updated within minutes of creation and is set to expire on June 17, 2026, suggesting a short-lived setup typical of scam campaigns. The domain uses Cloudflare’s name servers (fiona.ns.cloudflare.com and kaiser.ns.cloudflare.com), providing both content delivery and identity masking. All registrant information is hidden behind GDPR privacy protection, preventing public visibility of the site’s true owner. This combination of rapid domain creation, privacy masking, and Cloudflare hosting strongly indicates that dailyspainfinds.com was created solely to facilitate the Walmart iPad Pro scam, operating as part of a larger phishing network designed to harvest personal data from unsuspecting users.
How the Scam Works
- You land on a page that imitates Walmart’s style and offers a free iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard if you complete a survey.
- While on the page, you are asked to allow notifications. If you click Allow, the site gains permission to send unlimited alerts to your device.
- After a few survey clicks, the page redirects to phishing forms, “shipping” fee pages, paid subscription traps, or app installs that pay the scammer a referral bounty.
- Your browser notifications begin pushing more fake giveaways, crypto schemes, and malware pages at random times.
What Criminals Want
- Email, phone, and address for spam and identity fraud.
- Card numbers via bogus shipping fees and trial subscriptions.
- Notification permission so they can keep sending scams even after you close the site.
- Ad and install revenue from junk apps and affiliate pages.
Is This Affiliated With Walmart
No. Real Walmart promotions happen on walmart.com or in the official Walmart app and do not come from random domains. Third-party survey sites using Walmart logos without consent are scams.
Red Flags That Prove It Is Fake
- The URL is not walmart.com.
- Aggressive pop ups and countdown clocks.
- Demands to allow notifications before you can continue.
- Requests for shipping fees or card numbers to claim a prize.
- Typos, generic salutes like “Dear customer,” and claims you were “randomly selected.”
What To Do If You Clicked
- Do not enter payment details.
- Close the page and revoke notifications for the site using the steps below.
- Scan your device for adware and trojans with Malwarebytes.
- Call your bank if you submitted card info. Ask for a new card and dispute unauthorized charges.
- Change passwords reused on other sites and enable MFA.

Do Not Share Personal Information
Prize surveys ask for names, addresses, emails, birthdays, and at times card numbers for a shipping fee. None of that is required to claim a legitimate prize from a trusted retailer. Once shared, the data is resold and used in more scams.
How the Campaign Circulates
- Malicious ads and redirect chains from traffic brokers.
- Spam emails with links to “customer opinion surveys.”
- Push notifications from sites you previously allowed.
- Search-engine poison results that copy Walmart branding.
