Sam's Club Scam Email - See An Example Here
Phishing - The "Sums Club" - Sam's Club Email Scam
This is not scam created BY Sam's Club ; they are a victim as well. If you receive
an email similar to the one below, DO NOT click on the link, and do not enter
any information on the forms there. Of course, the first clue that this is a scam is the Email address claiming it is from "Sums Club" with a screwy return
email address.
The website that the link leads to is a spoof; a fake website, not created by
Sam's Club . When you enter the information they ask for, you will simply be
handing the thieves the keys to your bank accounts. That is how spoofing
and phishing works.
Remember, no reputable business would send you
an email requesting your personal account information. Any such email you
receive asking for this information should be considered phony and brought to
the attention of the business being 'phished'.
Anytime you need to go to a website for your bank, credit card companies or
other personal, financial or confidential information; do not follow a link in
an email; just type their address in your browser directly (such as
www.samsclub.com. )
Below are actual phishing emails that started circulating in late 2022.
We removed the links below to the phisher's website.
Here is what Sam's Club suggests:
- Completely anonymous - Look for a Sam's Club Greeting: Sam's Club
will never send an email with the greeting "Hell" followed by your email
address or "Dear Sam's Club User" or "Dear
Sam's Club Member." Real Sam's Club emails will address you
by your first and last name
or the business name associated with your Sam's Club account.
- If you believe you have received a fraudulent email, please forward
the entire email-including the header information-to
Privacy@samsclub.com We investigate every
spoof reported. Please note that the automatic response you get from us may
not address you by name.
- Don't share personal information via email:
We will never ask you to enter your password or financial information in an
email or send such information in an email. You should only share
information about your account once you have logged in to https://www.Sam's Club .com/.
- Don't download attachments: Sam's Club
will never send you an attachment or software update to install on your
computer.

what most don't keep in mind is that their discounts come at a
price. You must pay the membership fee of $45.00 per year. This
guide isn't going to discuss whether the Sam's Club membership is
worth it in general. It's going to discuss how you can get the most
out of it through clever shopping habits. How Long Does It Take to

must make in order to earn the same amount in savings back that pay
