A business claiming to be Costco, said I won a free greenhouse. Just had to pay approximately 9+ dollars for shipping and handling. I entered my visa credit card numbers and it wouldn't let me complete the transaction, so I called their customer service line and was told I wouldn't receive confirmation for my transaction for 2-3 days. Long enough probably to take my credit card information and use it. I had to use the amount on this form as $900.00 because it wouldn't allow me to put the correct amount lost as $9.00. Also, I put my e-mail address in lieu of their address because I don't know their (the scammers) e-mail, as it wasn't listed.

I thought I was buying a foldable treadmill cheaper than the TikTok shop. First it said it was Costco wholesale and after I purchased the website changed to bottledjoybottles.com I checked my email for receipt information and an estimated ship date and it said my payment was sent to Devon Williams via PayPal!!!!!!!!!!

They are advertising and yet they reach out but don’t respond to you. I tried calling multiple times got disconnected and then I got connected one time got set up when they told me it was gonna be an hour and a half plus long interview I told them that I had a doctors appointment at noon because most interviews take 2030 minutes, they said I could reschedule but then I got an email saying I was no longer eligible the advertise $18 an hour. That’s not the case they started at 16 it’s false advertisement.

Received an email that appeared as Costco offering a Tupperware set for taking a survey for paying the postage of $9. After filling out the survey and putting in my debit card information it took me to a page that gave me the order number and said I signed up for a monthly fitness subscription to FITGNX. I tried to call the customer service number 844-907-9376 I was put on hold for 5 minutes then an automated voice came on and said no one is available to take your call so please call back later.

Searched for Instant Pot via Google. Website for Costco came up. Ordered Instant Pot using credit card. Received order number. Upon checking my credit card transaction noted that the company listed was Debowen Garment, not Costco. Checked website for contact information and there was not a customer service number just an email address on hotmail.com. Email address was invalid.

They posted as if it was a Costco website for an on sale item at the TV as if they cloned the business website and use their buttons

I received an email allegedly from CostCo asking me to renew an expired membership. It wasn't until moments after the transaction did I realize the website and email address was fake. I unfortunately provided my name, address and telephone number. The credit card I provided was immediately cancelled. During the cancelation process, I discovered that they had already charged a small amount.

Went to order a Christmas gift online and went to a website i thought was Costco and ordered. Got email confirmation on the order and when it shipped and had a tracking number and all but never received the item. The name was pneyoatt and when you hit order details in email it went to a page that no longer existed. I contacted customer service and was emailing back and forth with this email [email protected] named amy.

Received a Costco impersonation email for a reward. The email was sent to me but was to another email address. I have a harasser who is spamming my email as a form of online harassment. I receive their emails along with the regular phishing scams that everyone else I know seems to be receiving. They are also bothering my wife. Please see below: CONGRATUIATIONS!

I opened a text which appears to be Costco, it was a survey with the end results a TV. I answered the questions and entered my visa. Soon after I checked my account and was charged $9.95 under Bronze Bonanza Shop, then 10 mins later another charge was for $119.95 under Classy Trend Zone Guru. I was fortunate enough to contact Citi Bank and dispute the charges. I’m now forced to cancel my card and replace it. They should not be using the Logo of Costco

Pop-up add was blinking while I was looking over internet reads advertising COSTCO as the vendor. I should have known it was to good to be true advertising an 8-piece sectional sofa for $19.98 plus shipping and handling for 8.98. total of $28.98 taken from my credit card. After I entered my credit card information, I got a response back stating that my credit card would show a posting of $28.98 from GODDESSBESTR.com. That should have been my 2nd clue not COSTCO as advertised in the internet posting. I was hoping that this was a legitimate purchase, so I didn't stop my bank from honoring the sale. I guess your bank cannot offer advice to you that this is probably a fraudulent business but offers you the opportunity to deny payment as a warning. Next interactions are the same as the previous customer, contacting the ceurwa.com website only to discover that there is no phone number to talk to a live representative but "canned responses" about the legitimacy of the company and tracking details to keep me thinking that I am actually going to receive a product. I think that all of the "canned responses" are all programmed to keep you on the hook that something is actually being done to your order. NOT. Supposedly my order was shipped from China on 8/1/2023 and was received in the USPS on 8/14,2023 and now delivered, NOT.... The scam/scheme is so elaborate that this website https://17track.net/en posts bogus tracking data for all delivery companies in the USA. How's this possible?

It is a variation of Hexclad Hybrid Cookware survey scam from Costco.com

I was on Facebook and I saw an ad from Costco selling Croc shoes for a reduced cost and I needed new crocs so I thought it was just good luck. I was on what looked like a Costco site and as soon as I made the purchase the money was taken out and I never received an email confirming my order or any shipping information. I reached out to the Facebook page that had the ad on it and messaged there that I never received a confirmation email, and never received any response. I have reached out to cash app ,how I paid, and disputed the purchase. I still have never received the shoes nor have I received any communication in any way. I has been 9 days since I made the purchase. The charge was made to ABT orgegas.
