Fake coupon tutoral

With them recently busing a counterfit coupon ring, I thought it was time to remind you of what to look for when evaluating if a coupon is fake or not.

A few things that should raise a couponers red flag:
  1. Coupons from an email sent to you by a friend and not the manufacturer
  2. Coupons found in a PDF form
  3. Coupons that do not have a print limit
  4. Expiration date that is really, really far out
  5. Coupon that does not have a bar code.
  6. Coupon is for a FREE product not requiring any purchase {These are rarely printable off the internet, but sometimes legit ones are snail mailed directly from a manufacture}
  7. Coupon value is unusually high
Thanks Fabulously Frugal for the info and pic!
