It’s a Scam"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

A viral $75 Costco coupon is fake<\/a>, Costco says. (So please stop reposting it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I receive an email this morning that nearly caught me off guard, and I want to share what I found before anyone else falls for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The email appear to be from Costco<\/a> Wholesale. It claimed I could get a free $75 coupon<\/strong> just by clicking a link and entering my details. The coupon code was Candizi<\/strong>. The message urged me to claim my reward immediately before it expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I almost clicked. Then I looked closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning Signs of Candizi Scam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Red Flag<\/strong><\/th>What I Noticed<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Sender Email<\/td>Not from official costco.com domain<\/td><\/tr>
Coupon Value<\/td>$75 is unrealistically high for email offer<\/td><\/tr>
Urgency Language<\/td>“Claim now” and “Limited time” pressure tactics<\/td><\/tr>
Personal Info Request<\/td>Asked for credit card and personal details<\/td><\/tr>
Suspicious Links<\/td>Links did not go to official costco.com<\/td><\/tr>
Too Good to Be True<\/td>Free money with no purchase required<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Red Flags I Spotted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The email was riddled with problems. The coupon looked real with official Costco logos, barcodes, store numbers, and transaction details. But something felt wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sender address was not from official costco.com domain. The email pushed me to act fast with urgent language. The $75<\/strong> value seemed too generous for a random email offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I checked online and discovered this fake Candizi<\/strong> coupon has duped a sizable amount of Costco customers. It is the second year in a row the company has debunked this coupon scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I Did Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I went directly to the official Costco website<\/strong> at costco.com to check for any legitimate promotions. There was nothing about a $75 coupon<\/strong>. No mention of the Candizi code anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This email is a scam.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Costco has officially confirm they do not send coupons through email or social media. Any Candizi coupon claiming to offer $75 is completely fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Costco Offers vs Candizi Fake Coupon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Real Costco Offers<\/strong><\/th>Candizi Fake Coupon<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Found on costco.com only<\/td>Sent through random emails<\/td><\/tr>
Available to members only<\/td>Sent to everyone<\/td><\/tr>
No sensitive data required<\/td>Asks for personal information<\/td><\/tr>
Reasonable discount amounts<\/td>Unrealistic $75 free value<\/td><\/tr>
Professional communication<\/td>Urgent and pushy language<\/td><\/tr>
Verified Costco domain<\/td>Unknown sender addresses<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Protect Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do not click any links in suspicious emails. Do not enter the Candizi<\/strong> code anywhere. Do not share personal information on unknown sites. If you want genuine Costco deals, visit their official website directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also recommend telling family and friends about this Candizi<\/span> scam. Many people have already reposted this fake coupon on social media without knowing it is fraud. Please stop sharing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do If You Fell for Candizi Scam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contact your bank immediately if you entered credit card details. Change passwords on all your accounts. Monitor your credit card statements for unusual charges. Report the scam<\/strong> to FTC<\/strong> at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Place a fraud alert on your credit reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
