Watch out for fake Pepsi FPC

[torontogal12]

Was at Zellers at Pharmacy and Eglinton in Toronto where the cash registers had a photocopy of a fake coupon posted, warning the cashiers not to take them.

It was a fake FPC for a 6 pack of any Pepsi product. I couldn't tell if it was a large coupon or if it had been blown up to show the detail. I think the expiry date said Sept 30.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know so you can be on the lookout and not accept one of these if it is given to you.

Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like someone has copied the coupon(s) from the Pepsi Buy$20 get $20. in coupons from last month - I am going to keep them together until I use them

LOL this is the beginning of the end.

I think this coupon actually looked different from the last scan that I saw of that coupon book. Good idea keeping all yours together

geez if people are going to waste time saving a few bucks by copying why not just do the money at least its worth your time . you waste more time copying them then just trading

If you ever want to take a few minutes to investigate this in the states the FBI are laying numerous charges against people who are mass producing fake coupons. One of the people on the show Extreme Couponers, I think it was the 17yr old boy, gave a whole bunch of them in, and the store was shorted a lot of money. The mom went in and paid the bill, but it is taken very seriously in the U.S.A. I think this is why a lot of stores are refusing to take the printables anymore.

My goodness...I can't believe these people!!! I'm trying to follow every rule possible to be a responsible couponer and then you have people like this that put a dark cloud over ALL couponers. GEEZ!!!!!

Someone in the states sells fakes on ebay, a friend of mine in the states bought a bunch of huggies FPC's and they were fake, no hologram and just regular paper.... really crappy what some people will do. the lady had lots of listings for free product coupons.... still do

That's just wrong. Thanks for giving us the heads up.

Imagine you get one in a trade and innocently use it and get arrested for it ..they won't believe you if you say someone else gave it to you.

[ashl3y]

That's terrible, and scary. Like the person above said, it's not like you'll be believed if you say someone else gave it to you.

These types of stories make me so mad Geesh, don't we have a bad enough rep already from that damn TV show! Now we are thieves and scammers too. Ugg...frustrates me to no end.

Ok rant over

P.S. I just noticed that we have an option to "like" individual posts in addition to giving rep. Love it!

[TrixyLuxx]

That's just down right wrong. It makes us ALL look bad.....But hey , whatever, we're not fraudulents, so who cares
