Walmart Spark On Sunday - Scammers On The Move!

- Running Walmart Spark grocery delivery on Sunday. Busiest day of the week for a delivery service! The Spark scammers are now moving around to try to be unnoticed. I invent a new twist on a classic game! #ridealongs #vlog #walmartspark #walmartsparkdriver #doordash
A customer I deliver to frequently told me a scary story recently. The customer always requires a signature as she hates things put on the ground. She placed an express order and tried to contact driver during the shop about not substituting a specific item if not in stock. Didn’t get a reply. When they delivered, they never knocked on the door or rang doorbell. As she was wondering where her items were, she had her daughter look outside to find all items left at her door (remember she is always a signature required and has delivery notes stating to ask for signature and not leave things on the ground). She pulled the tip and contacted Walmart as she was upset. The next day, she had a large square of duct tape on her front door with a note written in red marker stating “thanks for removing the tip. I won’t be back again”. So it was pretty clear who left that. Scary they went back to her home.
Oh wow! I hope she took a picture and called the police!
@@firststatedeliveryShe did call the police and filed a report. She took pics and also saved the duct tape that was on her door. Sad and scary!
They also don’t have license or insurance in most states.
I can believe that
Some of the security risks in my home market are non background checked helpers and passengers that help with delivery of Walmart Spark orders
Even if they don't steal, or commit other crimes of opportunity during deliveries, they can case out residences, and businesses for future crimes
Many don't own vehicles, they don't have driver's licenses, and can't pass background checks, so they only work as helpers
Others limit the type of documented income they receive as they're receiving disability benefits, welfare, or their incomes will disqualify others they live with from receiving benefits
These types typically avoid curbside deliveries, or being seen as passengers, and helpers on curbside deliveries, mostly sticking to shopping orders where they're not seen by Walmart workers, or they're picked up by Spark drivers after they've loaded curbside deliveries
These helpers are effectively free subcontractors, and they make shopping, bagging, loading and delivery faster, so Walmart isn't in a rush to do anything about them
There would have to be numerous tragic consequences, many customers complaining, and cancelling services, and negative press coverage on very large scale for Walmart to take action
Most deliveries are non contact, no signature required, customers are way too trusting, and most are clueless about these issues
I agree wholeheartedly. At my store there is just one driver, 1-2 shoppers and 4-5 phones. So they're definitely renting accounts or using stolen identities.
Contact your representative. Political action needs to be taken to force all these gig apps to fix the issue.
If it were a different congress. Definitely. Not the ones that have existed over the last 30 years.
They are here in the part of Michigan that I work. Most of them DO NOT have drivers license so they are breaking the law again. I tell people when I see them if someone delivers the groceries that doesn't match the info on app call walmart and complain. I have no problem with people who follow the rules but they broke the law coming into country and continue breaking the law once they are here.
Well, you don't really know their immigration status I would assume. How would you? Also, you don't really know they don't have licenses. Maybe you're right on both accounts, but my educated guess is that you are making a lot of assumptions. I prefer to blame them for what they're actually doing wrong instead of a lot of politically motivated assumptions.
@ScottxHaley well let's start that they literally can't speak English. They have temp plates on the cars that are photo copied. I live here in Michigan I know what temp plates look like. I have talked to the Walmart employees and they say yes they are Venezuelan. So no I am not assuming anything.
@@ScottxHaley funny thing is happening also some walmarts are starting to check driver's licenses and they suddenly are gone from those walmarts
@@richardconard9618 You're assuming they are here illegally and don't have licenses. You do realize that not all people from Venezuela are here illegally right? These people may be, I have no idea. But neither do you, if your proof "is they have fake tags". Anyway, good luck with the judging immigrants and be well.
@ScottxHaley of course and those Venezuelan Americans are not happy about it. I personally watched a group of them bring several orders out to a van. Took about 20 minutes before the van finally left. Groceries in a hot van. If I was the person they were delivering too I would be pissed.
With the scammers passing phones around willy nilly it seems like some of them likely have never been vetted by Walmart. There could be who knows who with whatever criminal record delivering the groceries and having access to customers' addresses. The vetting doesn't guarantee anything, but as a customer I would surely rather have someone Walmart has vetted and knows their information delivering to me rather than their friend or cousin who just got out of county using their account and having my info.
That's part of my point exactly. We're going to people's homes. It can be quite dangerous.
Your thoughts where the liability ends for Walmart ? Spoiled products ect
I would think their liability ends when the customer accepts the order. It's fuzzy to me when that is. Is it upon drop of the groceries or first inspection?
@@firststatedelivery That's not the right question imo. It's how much risk is there to Walmart. And honestly I don't think there's that much. If one person gets bad food or sick, Walmart can easily cover any expenses related to that for cheap. You'd need a large scale Chipotle-style illness to get their attention and that won't really happen most likely because the few bad sparkers aren't impacting enough people for that to happen. The good sparkers make up for it by delivering properly. Just because one person gets a bad milk, even if they get sick, it won't cost Walmart much if anything. Unless there would be a class-action lawsuit that somehow shows Walmart's negligence, I wouldn't expect them to care that much.
@@ScottxHaley good points
Here's a question though. On my Spark app I am now getting asked like once a week to revalidate my face mapped to the account with selfies. How can they cheat the system and pass the selfie test? The person tied to the account is supposed to be vetted.
I believe they're logging off and the account owner is logging on with their phone.
@@firststatedelivery Does your community have a facebook community page? I think mine I can post anonymously. I might post something alerting people to fraudulent delivery drivers and asking them to call Walmart if the person who shows up doesn't obviously line up with the name of the driver. I don't know how much of our name they actually see though.
@@firststatedelivery just had to verify again today. It’s like weekly for me.
@aj_aka_alan me too. I had an ID verification in the app too.
Why is your 20 year old adult son living at home and only working a few hours a week doing doordash? Is there anything preventing him from working full-time or going to school? If not why enable him?
He was going to school. He also coaches soccer but they're between seasons. If he gets a full time job it would have to work around soccer in the late summer to late fall and late winter to late spring. He won't find a job to do that so gig work is ideal for him to continue to do what he loves.
Wow, judge much? Do you know anything about his family or children to even be asking those questions? Why are you even concerned with how he raises his children? The kid is 20. What's he supposed to already have 4 years in the coal mine and halfway to black lung? He can raise his son anyway he sees fit, and letting a 20 year old find himself a bit doesn't seem like bad parenting to me.
20 year olds have plenty of time. Good luck living on your own at 20 in this economy. Stop judging others
I would love to be 20 again and have the knowledge I have now. I would be at Walmart starting a career for myself. IMO, your job comes first. You work your hobbies around your job. Not the other way around.
@@RTRT-pw4sh he wants a career around soccer and coaching. He gets paid to coach now. It's a passion, not a hobby.
I can feel the racist vibes in your voice. Its there guys. Hes just careful how hes wording it all.
Really? You can? This isn't scripted or edited. I'm not careful with my words. No racism here. Thanks for watching!
Are youone of those scammers?
Why do you care what other drivers are doing? Its none of your business.
It costs him business because they violate TOS with their antics and break many rules. He's trying to work according to the guidelines of Spark and because the scammers are violating them and sniping orders he loses out simply by following the rules. He shouldn't be punished by following TOS and being a good Sparker. So he's bringing the conduct to people's attention in hopes of ending it. If you had a business and a competing business undercut you and stole business from you by doing something illegal or otherwise against the rules you'd just be fine with it and let it go?
100% is my business for what Scott said. Their dishonesty clogs up the pipeline, filtering bad orders down.
Sounds like we found one of the scammers
Again, none of us owns Spark and have no control over what they do. Instead of worrying about something you can't change. You should focus on your own business and find other ways to earn money.
