    Assuming moc = Money Off Coupon then what you are asking is probably illegal and against the MSE rules.

    I presume the "coupon sites" establish a concurrent identity by means of a cookie and probably by IP address. You can delete a cookie via the Firefox privacy settings, and can appear to be connecting from a different IP address by using a proxy server to connect to the "coupon site".

    I don't see how modifying browser settings and using a proxy could possibly be illegal. It may be that attempting to use more than a certain number of "coupons" might break the site's terms & conditions, but that would be a civil matter rather than a criminal one.
