Fake Coupon ALERT!

There is another fake coupon floating around!  I have seen several blogs posting – make sure you don’t try and use it!

It’s for a FREE bag of Community coffee.

On the Community Coffee Facebook wall they address it:

It’s a pdf and that is one of the warning signs of a fake coupon.  Especially for a FREE item.

So, be careful of any that you see come across your email in a pdf form.

As you can see, it looks very real!

    I don’t know if any one had a problem but I printed coupon from the Wounded Warriors Project and I print the ANgel SOft q, So I went to walmart and price match and when it came to scan my coupon it just woudn’t take it they scan it with the gun and still wouldn’t recognize it. Now I see theres like a new barcode and are their registers reading those????

      Marie » The new barcodes are supposed to cut down on coupon fraud, so far, I haven’t heard great reports about it.
      I haven’t heard of anyone having any trouble with those coupons though.
      Did it have both barcodes or just the new one? Sometimes when it has both the cashiers need to cover the one to get it to scan.
      I hope that helps,

    It had both and I will try again and tell cashier to cover it, but ur saying to cover the #1 where the other barcode start bcause mine don’t have it . I had a reply in a blog where someone also had issues scanning q with new barcode at walmart also. Hopefully it will work like u say by covering it. thanks

      I meant to say cover one of the barcodes so that the register knows which one to scan and doesn’t try to scan both or part of one and part of another.
      I hope that helps!
