The HD and BC coupons are forgeries there was a proper investigation, I believe from what I have heard arrests were made. DO NOT use them you are committing fraud, this is not like "accidently" using a MOC that's a day out of date that's naughty, using these isillegal the same as using forged banknotes, if you try to use them in a clued up store they may detain you and call the police.
I may sound a bit overly dramatic, but I can't really stress this enough.

Thank you PC, I have got the message loud and clear :D xx

(I thought they were a bit of a no no with all of these :eek::eek:)

It might be worth adding a comment to this effect in the 'News' section on the first page, rather than have it end up hidden in the midst of this huge thread. What do you think?

After reading your post, I did a google search for the past year (for a UK site) and could find nothing that says this. Do you have a news website or a link where we can read about this? I've searched 3 times and have not found anything saying they have been forged, etc. So if you could please provide us an url so we can read the info for ourselves, that would be great. That way we have a reliable news source to go by instead of "what you heard". Thanks!

I thought they had just been blocked by tesco randomly like the king of shaves coupon was recently? I had been using them in co-op and asda when buying the product.

Thanks Josie that is cute.
I managed to do it but have lost definition of the MOC in the text & barcode. Will keep trying.

Best thing to use to copy it from the pdf into Word or Excel is the tool that looks like a little camera. You quite often lose definition of the barcode. When this happens, you can use a barcode generator site to create a much clearer one that you can then copy and paste on top of the fuzzy one.

This is the site I use. http://www.barcoding.com/upc/

Better than standing at the till while a SA doesn't know they can tap the number in!
