High risk: savecos.com impersonates Costco to promote a deceptive $750 gift-card offer
The captured page uses Costco branding and tells visitors to complete steps to obtain a $750 gift card. That observed content conflicts with an external portfolio description of savecos.com as a second-hand marketplace. The domain is also only 81 days old, so this unexplained change and brand-based reward lure warrant a High Risk rating.

Investigation Brief
The captured page uses Costco branding and tells visitors to complete steps to obtain a $750 gift card. That observed content conflicts with an external portfolio description of savecos.com as a second-hand marketplace. The domain is also only 81 days old, so this unexplained change and brand-based reward lure warrant a High Risk rating.
A retailer-branded reward lure
The page visibly presents “COSTCO” branding on savecos.com and instructs visitors to complete unspecified steps to receive a $750 gift card. This is a deceptive offer on a domain that is not Costco's own domain.
Separate research describes savecos.com as a marketplace for second-hand books, glasses, watches and mobile phones, which does not match the captured gift-card page. The captured page also provides no direct contact email.
Clean connection checks do not validate the offer
The saved checks found valid encryption, no browser threat warning and no saved abuse reports for the hosting address. These results concern the connection and known detections; they do not establish that the Costco-branded reward claim is legitimate.
The registrable domain was only 81 days old when checked, providing little operating history against which to assess the unexplained reward promotion.
Why the score is 24
The captured page displays Costco branding on savecos.com. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Evidence behind this classification
- 01The captured page displays Costco branding on savecos.com.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What visitors are asked to do
A visitor is asked to complete steps in exchange for a promised $750 gift card, exposing them to a deceptive retailer-branded offer.
Avoid the offer and do not complete its steps or submit information. If you want to check a Costco promotion, navigate independently to Costco's official website rather than relying on savecos.com.

The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
