Call identified himself as RW from Costco fraud department. He gave me his employee ID number 48XX and was able to produce some of my basic information like a few previous addresses my name my phone number. he said somebody was placing an order for an Apple MacBook Pro for a total of $1499.72 to be delivered to XX XXXX Court, Albany, NY 12205. Where of course I do not live nor have I ever, he did say he would cancel the order and put me in touch with my bank. He gave me a cancellation ID of wwXXXXXX And said that he was going to try to connect me to my bank so that they could also make sure nothing goes through, but then hung up when I told him I wasn’t gonna give him my bank info

Saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace that appeared to be Costco, but the website it takes you to is Just Be Secure Metals. They have Costco logo on the page and advertise like they sell through them, but the address and email don't match and the items are all incredibly cheap compare to normal cost.

This was a costco survey which i was selected for and after survey i was able to pick an item for free but just pay for the shipping. I did receive the item but got another charge in my account for 64.95. The phone number is not good and the website is not good. I called Costco and they have no survey's like this. Don't fall for it!

They state they are a shipping company and that you will be helping items move thru to there final destination. I realized it was a scam when after a month of shipping stuff, they ghosted me. They only pay at the end of every month. If anyone wants phone numbers, email addresses, labels and such I have alot of info. Would love to catch them.

Text came in supposedly from "costco" advising of my annual rebate as a bank etransfer. Was asked to enter my banking info for transfer of rebate. Stupidly did enter my banking info including passwords. There was no transfer forthcoming. Began to question transaction request. Called Costco to determine legitimacy of this and was told costco does not issue rebates in this manner. Had to cancel my bank card to assure no fraudulent use

1) On Sep. 25, 2021 afternoon received a text msg from a Scammer impersonating as COSTCO MasterCard company by sending me the following:

COSTCO

Your annual 2% Costco membership reward coupon of $162.53 is ready to be deposited. See: http://107.174.240.3

2) Since I did not take the bait, instead checked out his contact number, blocked it on my cell, and deleted the text, the Scammer sent me 2nd text two days latter on Sep. 27, 2021 AM from a different number. Note both the $$ amount has changed and so the http: address.

COSTCO

Your 2% Costco membership reward coupon of $162.43 is ready to be redeemed. See to redeem: http://107.175.178.88

I continue to receive multiple text messages at all hours of the night from random numbers with the same message that say Costco: your receipt number xxxxx finished second in our drawing for Apple Air Pods. Click on website for more information. It will be a different prize each new day I get them. I haven't even been to Costco to have a receipt to be enter in a drawing. I do not know what happens when you click on the website as I am not dumb and I know that they can get to my information the minute I click on it. When I block the number they send the text message from, they just find new numbers to use. Last night I received 3 messages back to back to back from 1:59am to 2:34am. I am a working individual who gets up very early and to be woke up by this crap in the middle of the night really pisses me off. Please find a way to make it stop.

I was sent an email using COSTCO Wholesale as the Company sending me the offer. The offer indicated from my club member status an offer to receive a watch "free of charge" and I only had to pay shipping. There was no warning provided that taking advantage of the offer was through a company no associated with COSTCO and included a $98.00 membership enrollment that would be charged against my payment card monthly unless calling the company and being removed from the enrollment, plus having to pay the return cost and if not done within 15 days from the order the original $98.00 would be lost and only then would it save further charges by being dis-enrolled from their offer.

Upon taking advantage of the watch it was delivered with only a shipping receipt and no mention of the $98.00 charge and or an enrollment into some membership. I only found this out after seeing the $98.00 charge against my account and it was registered after the 15 day return rule thus preventing the ability to obtain a credit.

This is a complete scam and should be investigated by the ScamPulse.com for dishonest activity.

I am attaching a snap shot of their web site but this is not what was sent to me via email, I no longer have that email to attach to this complaint.

every single day for the last 4 days I have gotten similar messages one from 'Amazon', 3 from 'Walmart', now this from 'Costco' all are "order confirmation" requests that I have made orders that will be delivered in 4 days and imply that I may not have placed the order as they have detected discrepancies so would I confirm by "clicking here" I do not have a Costco card and do not shop at Costco for that reason so that along with poor grammar and British spelling of many words indicates a scam whether to spread a virus or for fishing purposes I do not know. the bottom of the site included an actual link to Costco travel site so appeared valid if investigated. no internet address origin was included (odd for a valid site isn't it?) the mailing as a nebulous stated origin "Costco order confirmation" title and I do know that order confirmations are SENT to your inbox not requested from you. there have been a supposed "official looking" blue strip as message divider on each of these different scam mailings. frankly, they make me tired the message is :

Our online store Costco.com received an order and the personal data of the recipient coincide with yours.

I applied online at Costco.com. The next day they called and asked me to come in for an interview. When I arrived at the store for my interview they asked me to sit at a table to await someone who would be with me shortly. After a period of about 10 minutes two men approached me and sat with me to ask a few questions. During the series of questions it was obvious for the 10 minutes of the interview they had no interest in my answers and the position they were in need of filling was not specific. Each answer was so non specific to my application it was obvious these were scripted and not connected to the skills I had to offer or the prior experiences I had. From the very first question, as I looked at each men individually, I immediately noticed neither one were interested in my comments to the point it made me nervous. Almost discriminate and I couldn't think of why. I would look at one man and he would look off towards the door behind me like he was looking through me and as I looked at the other he would do the same. They were more interested in getting through the interview from the very first minute than to engage me and breakdown my answers into the duties or position I would possibly be filling. They quickly concluded that they would contact those interviewees who would be eligible for hire and, as I was directed to do over the phone when the interview was set up, I was again asked to don't forget to sign up for a membership. It was obvious the way they corralled me through the interview with non-direct questioning and lack of what my duties would consist of as a possible new hire that Costco is sneakfully using a membership sign-up technique in place of their new hire interviewing process!! To me this is a scam and a bad business practice! I believe they only use applications to better sift out potential membership sign-ups rather than genuinely directing their hiring focus on satisfying their employee needs.
