Residents in Mississauga, Brampton and other Ontario communities are being warned about a phone scam that’s claiming it’s retail giant Costco offering up reward points cash.

Saying that the recipient is eligible to collect $452.96 in cash as a two per cent return on previous purchases, the scam asks you to hit a link.

Once the link is hit, scammers will then try to get vital banking information from the person in order to ‘deposit’ the cash.
