Scamming - Fraud
The fake "Your Costco Package Loyalty Reward Will Be Delivered" text message below is a Costco scam, therefore, recipients asked are not follow the instructions in it. This is because the fake message is a phishing scam that goes to malicious website H7svz info. H7svz info located at h7svz.info is a malicious website being used by cybercriminals. The cybercriminals are sending out fake Costco messages like the one below to potential victims, attempting to trick them into visiting the link in the same messages, by claiming their Costco package with a $103 loyalty reward will be delivered. But, this is not true, and going to the link is dangerous because visitors will be tricked into completing surveys that steal personal and financial information, or they may be taken to malicious websites that steal account credentials or infect their devices with malware.

My husband clicked and answered the survey... What can I do about that?
If the survey asked for personal information, tell him to be careful going forward.

I know it's scam but... how did they know my name?
Probably your information was stolen by hackers from one of the major security breaches that occurred within the last 6 years.
