We identified the members who conducted swipe payment card transactions on the affected devices during the relevant time period and notified them individually. We also offered them complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft-related services,&#8221; the company added. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson said less than 500 customers were affected by the situation and that all of the customers were notified by letter on November 5.<\/p>\n<p>The company believes the attack took place in August but did not answer questions about how long they believe the card skimmers were active.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Costco inspectors did not find similar card skimmers at any other locations, according to their spokesperson. Costco is the fifth largest retailer in the world and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheapism.com\/costco-numbers-18090\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">fourth largest<\/a> in the US, with 810 stores worldwide.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MsLutzmann\/status\/1434226138797072384\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Multiple people<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/saskatoon\/comments\/qjthme\/credit_card_skimmer_at_costco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">across the globe<\/a> took to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Costco\/comments\/q9b8r7\/fraudulent_charges_on_costco_visa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">social media<\/a> over the past few weeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Melii11\/status\/1357401142825607169\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">complain about fraudulent charges<\/a> tied to their Costco credit cards or accounts. Others said they began to see the charges after using their cards at Costco locations, particularly Costco gas stations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Noticed a fraudulent charge on my credit card, so I called to get it handled. The guy on the phone asked if I pay at the pump usually for gas, and I said yes. Apparently, skimmers for information are common on pay at pump systems and car washes,&#8221; one Reddit user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/saskatoon\/comments\/qjthme\/credit_card_skimmer_at_costco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">wrote<\/a>. &#8220;That was the only place he saw in my history that was likely to have stolen my information. He recommended paying inside, but Costco doesn&#8217;t even have that option. Just a reminder to always check your credit card statements and watch for fraudulent charges!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a
