That's what I was thinking. lol
I really thought that Walmart didn't care about how their employee were with customers or offering better service.
To answer your question, it doesn't sound "fishy". It sounds "phishy".
It's a perfect example of Phishing.

There are five words that scream "SCAM". I would list them, but I don't really feel like helping out the scammers to become better scammers. (Scammers, just to help you, one of those words is "you".)

$200 bucks Wowow! 
They don't pay their employees half that!
When you scan your mouse over the email address, what does it say?

Walmart is too cheap to pay for something like that. A truck driver told me one time that while the truck is being unloaded, he is supposed to walk around the store and report on various things he sees.

LOL. And now they have sent me a check for $915. HELLO SCAMMERS! I wish I knew what to do to turn these people in, but I am sure they are using fake names.

Why don't you tear it up and send it back to the scammers?

Walmart has tobacco, alcohol, and M-rated video game compliance shops all of the time. Not to mention laptop/tablet/smartphone shops, for the stores with those kiosks in them. Walmart is constantly shopped.

Plan the work. Work the plan.

Those are separate from the corporation itself though... Their actual employees are not shopped. I should note I do not live in the US and Walmart locations here do not sell smokes. They rent out space to companies like Wine Rack but only in certain locations. Same with hair salons. Those companies and their employees are not Walmart employees. The only thing I can think of is yes, Walmart Wireless are shopped but by research firms, cell phone providers and manufacturers. Very seldom.

In the future, I would recommend that you NEVER click on a link unless you are sure who it came from. Scammers can "attach" themselves to all your information through your Internet connection/computer.
