Costco Scam Text Message: Your Package Loyalty Reward Will be Delivered

Hello everyone and welcome to my short review of the Costco messages or so called Costco messages that are being circulated through texts by scammers who claim that you have a loyalty reward package that is being shipped to you. The message is being sent to thousands of people and some of which have never come across Costco at all and some have never bought from them so this would be a great surprised but is it a legit message of just some information or it is actually a scam?

Is it a scam?

The messages are not just fake but actually a scam as you might have suspected other wise why would these people waste airtime sending texts to thousands and thousands of people when they won’t be getting anything from it. They definitely have something up their sleeves and guess what it is , they have links on these messages that will send you to some site that is not trustworthy and will make you compelete some surveys which can earn them money or which they will sell the information to some people that may want it. Do not give any important details to them such as your credit card details and passwords.

How do they know my name?

This is one of the most asked questions about these scammers , they will actually address you by your name. Well it is not definite where they might have gotten this it could be anywhere, from some untrustworthy sites you may have visited and signed up to, from some hacks which might have happened in the past and even from your social media accounts and the like. Don’t let the fact that they know your name worry you because your name is all over. Same place they also got your phone number as well.

What to do

These scammers can do nothing to you as long as you don’t do anything they tell you to do and don’t visit their sotes which are not trustworthy. The sites may be phishing sites whilst they might also be containing malware which is not good for your device. They are cyber criminals that want to use you to make money. If you have come across one message from them please share it in the comments and also the number that they used to help make others aware of this scam.

Good luck
