Description

We ordered a Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill 22 on Jun 30, 2025 for $205.15 thru paypal, from Costco Wholesale. The website looked legit, but then I received the email asking to 'Complete Your Purchase' by clicking the 'Buy Now' button. When I did, it took me to a red page, which my device was telling me it was a scam alert. When I checked my paypal account, $205.15 was being sent to Jessica [email protected]. I contacted Jessica twice on Jun 30 and once again on Jul 2nd. I also contacted Costco support at [email protected] on Jun 30 and Jul 2. Their email address at Costco [email protected]. Neither have replied. I have not received an email from either updating me on any shipping details. I knew this was a scam as soon as I received the email and especially when I check my Paypal account. I am really hoping paypal is able to help me get my money back! Today, Jul 9th I escalated the case to a claim.
