Here is the backstory for anyone wondering how fake couponing started:

-Back in around 2007/2008, some individuals on an obscure message board started reproducing(copying) a coupon for a free Monster energy drink(The coupon didn't state it couldn't be reproduced).
-This activity quickly escalated into the production of fake free Redbull coupons resembling SmartSource coupons.
-After a few months, the activity hit the mainstream and was featured almost nightly on 4chan's /b/ imageboard. 4chan is a community of mainly teenagers and young adults. Some users were able to use fake coupons to get free Playstations, iPods, etc.
-Authorities and companies found it tough to track fake coupon trends because posts on 4chan expire.
-A few people savvy in coupon production created guides on how to produce fake coupons and UPC's.
-One of these savvy people, a guy that went by The Coupon Guy, was arrested by the FBI, pled guilty, and is now serving a three year probation and has to pay a $900,000 restitution.
-The Coupon Information Corporation, the leading coupon tracking organization, noticed massive increases in fake coupon use. We're talking about going from a few dozen fake coupons nationwide to thousands in just a couple years.
-Fake coupons were even used in TLC's show Extreme Couponing.
