I would pull reports but the new account sounds like walmart due to changing numbers for your protection

It would be illegal to send you a card (new original acct) without your permission, check your other reports as well, possible the inquiry was on a different CRA

OP has a new card and account as a result of closing the old account due to possible fraud

A week or so ago I got a email at 4am saying my email had changed from my walmart account. I called when I got up and they said that someone had changed my information. I had them delete that account.

Today I recieved a walmart credit card in the mail. What do I do about it?

I'm confused....so did you already have a WM card when you received this email from them?  If so,  and you called them saying I didn't change my email that would have prompted them to send you out a new card for security purposes.  However, if you did NOT have an open account with them already and got that email + a card in the mail...I agree with the others freeze your CR and get a credit monitoring service ASAP.

I did not have a walmart credit card. I just had a walmart account to order from walmart. This is a new card.

Pull CR's ASAP

I should clarify.

I just set up an account after ordering products from walmart so next time I order it would be faster. I have never applied for a walmart CC.

So your saying Walmart has given you a store card having not every applied? Someone made a big mistake on their part sounds like.
