Was looking to open a Costco online…
Was looking to open a Costco online account it takes you to a sign up page. They ask for my card # and said thanks for your order. Costco was at the top of the page so of course i thought it was their site. T hought Primedefender was their online protection. Thinking i didn't place an order yet made me specious so i checked my credit card and there was a charge for Prime Defender.I blocked my card and worked with the credit care company for a new card and they cancelled my old card. Costco said anyone using there name is fraud so now i have to contact the fraud company and report it.
