My $.02 Tuesday
In my attempt at blogging about Internet printable coupons, I have seen an unbelievable amount of fake and fraudulent coupons. Some of the fakes are very good and I  certainly would not put myself above being fooled. Sadly, the increase in the number of fake coupons only hurts us all. I am beginning to see results. Stores are more cautious about taking any coupons, much less Internet printables. Manufacturers like Coke Rewards will not let you print coupons any more. They are mailed to you.  Ebay has a coupon selling policy in place. ( One rule, a seller cannot sell more than 2 “free” coupons in any listing.) As I have stated before, willfully using fake coupons is equivalent to stealing from a store. Even if you can get the cashier to take the coupon, the store is not reimbursed. Educate yourself about what fake coupons are floating around. If you are planning to buy coupons, ask yourself: “If I can only get one or two of a coupon, how is this person getting so many?” If it seems to good to be true…… it most likely is.
