I was looking at some of the coupon counterfeit notifications over at the Coupon Information Corporation and saw some that really blow my mind. I have some Hot Pockets coupons that look almost identical to the counterfeit coupons that are evidently floating around now.

The coupons I have are $1.00/4 and $1.00/3. I printed mine from coupons.com and smartsource.com. The counterfeit coupons are $1.00/2 and and $5.50/12 (doh!). It is no wonder cashiers scrutinize coupons the way some of them do at times. Fraudsters these days sure do make it hard on us honest folks.

    Clearly I’m out of the loop on this fraud stuff because I didn’t even realize there were counterfeit coupons. I mean, it makes sense but gosh!!

      I know. I guess coupons are easier to print than money and the average Joe Schmo can do it easily enough if they really want to… the Hot Pockets coupons blew my mind though… I have some (real ones) in my binder I plan to use… I’ll never use internet printables I might find on shelves or elsewhere though… I read the counterfeiters spread them around to take suspicion off themselves…
