Costco warns about fake coupon scam
Don’t be fooled, Costco says the $75 coupon making its rounds on social media is a scam.
According to Snopes.com, a survey scam has been circulating all over Facebook offering free $75 Costco coupons in celebration of their anniversary.
Reports said the scam prompts users to input personal information, complete a lengthy series of surveys, and finally sign up for “reward offers” that involves applying for a credit card.
Snopes said the scam provided links which led to web pages (not operated or sponsored by Costco) displaying a Bud Light logo along with entreaties to spread the scam further by sharing the pages and writing “thank you” in the comments field.
