Don't be fooled: Costco says $75 coupon is a scam

Wholesale retailer Costco is warning customers about a new scam that is promising shoppers a $75 coupon.

Despite several posts out there, the company said it is not giving away $75 coupons.

"While we love our fans and our members, this offer is a SCAM, and in no way affiliated with Costco. Thanks to our fans for letting us know about this recurring hoax," the company wrote on Facebook.

Costco's website details other scams involving the company's name like emails about jobs, internet pop-ups and surveys, fake checks and phone calls about contests.

"It is an unfortunate fact of the Internet that at any given time there are numerous illegitimate pop-up ads, surveys, websites, emails, social media posts and advertisements that purport to be from or authorized by Costco. It is unlikely that Costco is affiliated with these promotions," Costco said on its website.

"The best policy is to stop and think before you click. Delete any questionable emails and texts, and be suspicious of any posts or ads with offers that are too good to be true," Costco said.
