Did anyone else get the email survey that results in a free hexclad cookware set? I am concerned it may be a scam, but it looks legit…? Still, I have not yet given them my payment information because the deal feels too good to be true.
Now THAT seems like a good deal!

I went to a large 2020 tasting ang IMO I thought the Leoville Barton was one of best values of the wines I tried which were all 1-3 growths with all the super seconds present. I’m also a sucker for hlaf bottles

I’d be extremely shocked if that were not a scam.
Does the survey place on the CostCo site?

Smells like a scam. They tell customers to never enter personal info in response to an electronic communication.

I’d bet my right hand it is a scam. I almost fell for a similar one from “Dicks Sporting Goods” with a free yeti cooler as I had been in Dicks that very day to buy a yeti cooler, but as soon as they required payment info, my brain started working.

You probably know this, but look at the sender email. These things are never from a real costco/dicks/whatever email address. They are usually gibberish email, sometimes may have the word “costco”, etc., embedded, but it’s not the domain name. More importantly, real businesses don’t just give stuff away, ever

Hexclad though is worth buying.

I don’t understand your question.

Yeah, that’s where my brain went, too. The email is from “Costco.” In searching my inbox, I see “Costco Wholesale” is the legit Costco. I got too scared to put the final nail my coffin when I was redirected to “fullyondevices.com”.
It’s a pretty good scam that is far cleaner than the average one.

It says winemaker is Pierre Brissey, for whatever that’s worth…
Anyone try the 21 Kirkland PC chablis yet? I saw it showed up locally. Never had a Kirkland chablis before.

Well, you just answered it below. Scam avoidance 101, hover your mouse area over any links in the suspect message. Look at where they go. If its not the main site of where the email claims to come from, its a scam.

Excellent point! Do you know of a mobile device equivalent to the hover? Would love to know.
I think if you just ‘hold’ on a link instead of tapping it the OS will give you options while showing the link. At least on Android I get that. Unsure about iCrap.

That works on iOS.
From the Costco support page I linked above (describing email requests they will never send), there was no chance that was legitimate…
I made a quick search of my email, I received two emails from Costco with surveys that would earn some kind of award, both in the past month, both clearly scams (I had already deleted them).
