PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

cosclearance.com is an impersonation phishing page that uses the Costco brand to dangle a free gift card in front of shoppers. Its page is titled "$500 Costco Gift Card Offer", and it targets anyone who recognizes the retailer and clicks through from an ad, text message or social post. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-05. On 2026-10-19 the domain still existed, but its DNS was inactive and the lure was not loading. The owner could point it at a server again at any time.

How the scam works

Fake retailer giveaways like this usually start with a short survey or "you've been selected" prompt that makes a $500 Costco card feel earned. The victim is then asked for a name, address, phone number and email to "ship" the reward. Often the page also asks for a card number to cover a small delivery or processing fee. That fee is the real payload. The card details can be reused for larger charges or enrolled in recurring billing, and the personal data gets resold or used for follow-up scam calls and texts. No gift card ever arrives.

Evidence

urlscan.io rated the page malicious and recognized Costco branding on it, which matches our classification. On VirusTotal, 7 of 91 engines flagged the domain as of 2026-10-06: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, so many browsers and filters may not have warned visitors. The domain also appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses, and it is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered through Namecheap on 2026-08-28, about five weeks before we caught it. That lead time is consistent with a domain set up in advance for a campaign. Its traffic ran through Cloudflare, with the address geolocating to Poland. Cloudflare sits in front of a site and hides the real origin server. The site had a valid certificate from Google Trust Services, so the browser padlock showed nothing unusual and gave visitors no reason for suspicion.

What to do

If you entered a card number, call your bank now. Block the card, dispute any charges, and watch for small test transactions or new subscriptions. If you gave your address, phone or email, expect convincing follow-up messages that claim to be from Costco or a courier, and do not answer them. Costco does not hand out $500 cards through clearance sites. Security teams should block cosclearance.com at DNS and the web proxy. They should also search mail and SMS logs for links to it and alert staff, because the domain could start serving the lure again without warning.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
Recorded subdomains1

Hostnames retained in the domain record or Certificate Transparency cache. A hostname alone does not establish current availability or malicious activity.

Recommandations et conseils à l'intention des victimes

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

Que dois-je faire tout de suite ?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Modifier tous les mots de passe — e-mail, comptes Exchange, tout ce qui utilise le même mot de passe
  • Activer l'authentification à deux facteurs (2FA) en utilisant une application d'authentification (et non par SMS). Désactivez la récupération par SMS
  • Cartes « Freeze » si vous avez saisi vos coordonnées bancaires sur le site de hameçonnage

Quelles informations dois-je rassembler pour mon rapport ?

Directives du FBI

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Dates et horaires exacts — de chaque transaction et du premier contact avec l'escroc
  • Captures d'écran — sites web frauduleux, messages de chat, e-mails, transactions via des portefeuilles numériques, réseaux sociaux
  • Toutes les URL et tous les noms de domaine utilisés par l'escroc (notamment cosclearance.com)
  • Communications — les e-mails, SMS, numéros de téléphone et noms d'utilisateur utilisés par l'escroc

Même si vous ne disposez pas de tous les détails — déposer quand même une plainte. Même des informations partielles peuvent aider les enquêtes.

À qui dois-je signaler cette arnaque ?

  • FBI IC3 — Centre de signalement des délits sur Internet (système fédéral américain de signalement)
  • Europol — Rapports sur la cybercriminalité en Europe (UE)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Police locale — permet de consigner officiellement la situation, même s’ils ne peuvent pas agir immédiatement

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Faux sites web — des clones identiques au pixel près de sites légitimes, dont les noms de domaine ont été légèrement modifiés
  • Découpe du porc — une relation de confiance établie au fil des semaines via Telegram, WhatsApp ou des applications de rencontre, puis une escroquerie financière
  • Arnaques liées au recouvrement — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • Escroqueries basées sur l'IA — les « deepfakes », le hameçonnage automatisé et les sites générés par l'IA, qui rendent la fraude plus difficile à détecter

Comment puis-je me protéger à l'avenir ?

  • Ajouter les sites officiels à vos favoris — Ne cliquez jamais sur les liens contenus dans les e-mails, les messages privés ou les publicités
  • Vérifier les noms de domaine — vérifier si PhishDestroy avant d'entrer en contact. Vérifiez le protocole HTTPS, l'orthographe et l'ancienneté du domaine
  • « Trop beau pour être vrai » = arnaque — des rendements garantis, des témoignages de célébrités, des délais serrés

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.
