101 - NEVER COPY A COUPON!!!! Coupon Counterfeiter Faces Up To 30 Years In Jail!

Coupon Counterfeiter Faces Up To 30 Years In Jail!

This is awesome!

These people are the ones who make honest couponers look bad! Just DO NOT cheat the system folks. If you follow this blog and/or many other VERY reputable blogs, you WILL save the money. I promise you! Cheating never gets you anywhere... and for this one 22 year old man, it only got him to jail! How's that $.75 coupon looking to you now?!
Lucas Henderson, a 22-year-old Rochester Institute of Technology student, is facing a pair of federal felony charges--wire fraud and trafficking in counterfeit goods--for allegedly posting counterfeit coupons on zoklet.net.

Henderson, pictured at right, is also accused of directing users of that message board to 4chan, where they could download a copy of "How to Make Coupons,” a 45-page tutorial on designing coupons that would “scan at most any store in the U.S.,” thus tricking retailers.”


You can read more about this issue at the Coupon Information Center as well as The Smoking Gun!
