Copy and paste that into your reply. Also let the store know about this, they’re systems have obviously been compromised.
It has little to do with the store's systems and more about the global GPS system and the location services in your cell phone. If you are at a place, and your location services are turned on, then the spammers know you were in that location.

They track locations, not store systems.
