All those who ordered their Play Station 5 digital edition through Top Shelf Clubs hope to get their money back, hopefully.

“We received information that this seller and all the orders placed for the PS5 were a scam. The website was altered, and this is why this is happening”, says a Walmart customer representative. As you can see in the screenshot above, if you provide them with Top Shelf Clubs Walmart's order number, they will cancel it.

However, the rep didn't say anything about giving the money back – who cares about canceling without a refund?

With such a short time left until the release of PS5, many gamers are disappointed in how this was handled. Unfortunately, as for every new, hot product released, criminals are also in the picture. Hence this Top Shelf Clubs Walmart scam or the Game Tester Scam.

It's getting to the point where many people are getting desperate. That's no surprise, as thousands of people ordered their PS5 through a scam company that took as many credit card numbers as possible. For cybercriminals, there is never “a limited amount of items for sale”. The number of victims could be having 6 figures.
