Money off coupon 'chat' thread

Aesop

If you see huggies for £5 these are fakes.

Some of the others they get the coupon direct from the manufacturer and then copy it and sell on the copies.

Genuine ones are usually tesco with the sellers name on and sainsburys. But unless you know what you are looking at and what is around you may get stung withbuying fake coupons.

Hi,
I bought coupons from ebay the other day (10 x the same) and at first did not think a lot about it, but I used 3 already in local supermarket and today my wife seen them and she think that they might be fraudulent.
I am really scared now. What is the best course of action? Report it to the police or speak with the manager of the shop where the voucher was used? Please, please advise me. I really do not want any trouble over that. The think is so many people gave positive feedbacks to this seller over those vouchers and this fooled me into thinking that they must be ok. Anyone who have any valuable input please help.

Hi guys,

Apologies if it's already been asked before but I was wondering, has anyone ever bought any coupons from eBay? I have been looking and, although a few look dodgey, some looks legit and even say they are genuine, not home printed.

Just intrigued to see what you guys thought of this, I don't want to purchase if they are not legit?

Thanks.

I ended up being questioned by police over a few coupons I had bought from eBay, so I would recommend not getting any from there as all the ones I had turned out to be fake ones.

there are loads of these coupons at the minute they are very cleverly done most are not real Tesco are clamping down on them at the minute so just be careful

Would you agree it will be better to go speak with the manager of the store about it, so he can have a look at the voucher. I am happy to give them money back which I used in those vouchers. Just don't wont to get into any trouble over that

this bit puts me off straight away

Each voucher is worth £9 so you will receive £90 in total on gloss paper

so they have this coupon stored somewhere on their pc, they are PRINTING it on gloss paper, to make sure it is accepted... they have covered the barcode so you cannot check it is legitimate...

not guaranteed to work in all stores as some dont accept vouchers,

hmmm :think: if these were genuine coupons direct from the manufacturer... wouldn't ALL stores accept them.

they are fake and the stores not accepting obviously know there is no £9 off pampers coupon around.

Anyone who says printing on gloss paper, has faked the coupon and is printing multiple coupons. It may be they received an original coupon from the manufacturer in response to a complaint but then they copied it and reproduced it multiple times.

why do ebay allow them? they don't know which ones are genuine and frankly I think they only care about the money they are making from the fees.
