Title: extreme couponing - did not know it can get this big
Post by: DuMa on October 25, 2021, 08:09:10 PM

I heard of using legit coupon and getting away with lots of chit...

but printing out your own fake coupon and you get to put whatever discount you want on it?  Not only that, they be selling the coupons?  Ebay has tons of legit coupons to be bought. 

but this is mafia, organized crime caliber.  Too bad they were caught.  I thought what they did was innovative, taking a genius to pull this through, the first of its kind.  Although on the smaller scale when the laser printer first came out like ages ago, guys I know where helping us college students out by printing 90% carbon copy of parking pass stickers to be placed on our rides.  They cost $60 a year permit and how can we starving students can afford this?  So we all want in like selling crack on campus.

Pretty ingenious but crime doesn't pay indeed.

I see this enterprise has resurfaced again...When was the last coupon scammers got caught.

Now I see these people coming trying to give me fake coupons and I say, I simply don't have that deal, sorry.  Cuz I don't and I can't just make something work if it don't exist.
