High risk: a $500 Costco gift-card lure funnels visitors into required deals
Cosclearance.com presents a $500 Costco gift-card offer and says visitors must complete three to five deals before claiming the reward. Its reward CTA leads to a separate commercial site, while the domain is only 37 days old and has a saved adverse antivirus detection. These combined commercial and technical warning signs justify a High Risk rating.

Investigation Brief
Cosclearance.com presents a $500 Costco gift-card offer and says visitors must complete three to five deals before claiming the reward. Its reward CTA leads to a separate commercial site, while the domain is only 37 days old and has a saved adverse antivirus detection. These combined commercial and technical warning signs justify a High Risk rating.
The advertised reward is conditional on completing multiple deals
The page states that visitors must complete three to five required deals from start to finish to unlock the full $500 gift-card reward. This is not a simple giveaway; the promised reward is tied to multiple commercial actions.
The “Claim Your Reward” CTA sends visitors from cosclearance.com to linkthem.net, making the reward path dependent on a separate commercial site.
The captured page displayed Costco branding around the $500 gift-card offer, but no direct contact email was found on that page.
Technical checks give mixed but concerning signals
A saved antivirus observation recorded an adverse result from one independent detection family, although the record is stale and should not be treated as a current confirmation by itself. The hosting IP also had an abuse-confidence score of 42 out of 100 across 108 saved reports.
A valid encrypted connection and the absence of a Safe Browsing warning are limited positives, but they do not establish that the gift-card offer or its required-deals path is trustworthy.
The domain was only 37 days old when checked, leaving little operating history against which to assess the offer.
Why the score is 28
The $500 gift-card reward is conditioned on completing three to five required deals. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Evidence behind this classification
- 01The hosting IP had a 42/100 abuse-confidence score across 108 saved reports.
- 021 independent antivirus family reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
- 03No direct contact email found on the captured page.
If this is a scam — what it means for you
What happens after a visitor tries to claim the reward
A visitor selecting “Claim Your Reward” is directed to the separate commercial domain linkthem.net and enters a process requiring multiple deals before the advertised reward can be claimed.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
The stated qualification step requires completing three to five deals from start to finish to unlock the full $500 reward.
Avoid the claim process and do not complete the required deals through this offer. Use Costco’s official channels to verify any gift-card promotion independently.
Web research findings
Independent findings for cosclearance.com, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for cosclearance.com. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.
