Usually when something seems too good to be true …

You know how the rest of the saying goes, and Costco is here to warn its customers just that.

The wholesale company posted Tuesday on Facebook that they are “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 coupon, which comes around Costco’s anniversary, has shown up in people’s Facebook timelines and also has been circulated through email.

According to Snopes, the coupon links to surveys that require a good deal of personal information (name, address, email, date of birth, etc.).

A scam warning page on Costco’s website says, “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. Rather, their purpose is to entice you to disclose personal information.”
