Costco is warning its customers in Canada to be cautious of several scams through texts.
The first text message tells customers to claim their Capital One Costco Mastercard Cash Back reward by clicking a link.
“The text is a SCAM,” the company said in a recent update. No digital coupons are associated with the reward, Costco said, which will be mailed to eligible customers.
Another scam presents a link for customers to claim a reward associated with the ‘Executive’ membership level. This is also a scam, as Costco said it mails the reward to applicable parties.
The company said it has also seen an increase in survey scams, which claims to give users a free prize if they respond to a survey online.
“We do not ask customers to provide personal information online or via text. The only online request by Costco for personal information is through our official website, Costco.ca.”
Costco is warning its customers not to respond to unverified emails or provide and personal information through email of text. Canadians should also consider filing a report through the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the company wrote in the post.

The front of the soundbar houses an IR (Infrared) camera that tracks the user sitting right in front of it (more on it later). On each side of the IR camera are LED lights that indicate which audio mode you’re currently on, and if the soundbar is able to track your head or not.
It’s worth noting that the soundbar and the subwoofer require their own power outlets, and considering that the ports around your PC would already be occupied with the monitor and accessory wires, you’ll need to purchase an extra extension. Connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar is fairly simple, with an input/output wire for each end, though a wireless subwoofer would have served me better. Ever since I’ve moved to a new house, my cable management has gotten awful, and tucking away thick power cables for both the soundbar and the subwoofer has been a pain without a
This brings us back to the question: can the Leviathan V2 Pro replace an actual headset? Well, in some cases, yes. Playing 
More importantly, though, VR dramatically builds upon Village‘s already satisfying gameplay mechanics. As mentioned, RE7 in VR was limited to the DualShock 4, which made the headset feel more like an add-on than the actual main event. Village, on the other hand, is playable entirely with the PS VR2’s comfortable motion-controlled Sense gamepads — a setup that offers two key benefits.
And on that note — first-person gunplay with the Sense controllers is an absolute blast. So much so, in fact, that it’s hard to believe I ever settled for using a controller and VR setup with RE7. That’s because it feels so intuitive. Naturally, aiming anything with motion controls will automatically feel more immersive than analogue sticks, and that’s before you factor in the differences between each gun. For example, reloading your handgun means you have to physically grab a clip from your hip, push it into the bottom of your firearm and then pull back the slide on top. Your shotgun, meanwhile, requires you to load shells one at a time and then pump the barrel between each shot.
Honestly, my only gripes with Village‘s VR version are pretty minor. You have to download a separate free file on the PlayStation Store that works alongside your copy of the base game, so your previous saves unfortunately can’t be carried over. There are also some jarring moments in cutscenes where Ethan may automatically move where you’re not looking, resulting in some brief disorientation. On the whole, it’s a lot smoother and more natural than RE7, leading me to feel no motion sickness, but these (few and far in between) instances are still worth mentioning.
