    The bit that says
    These vouchers are HIGH QUAILTY internet downloaded vouchers.
    [FONT=verdana, arial, sans-serif]
    Is a BIG clue to the fact that they are almost certainly COPIES of original coupons sent out by manufacturers following a complaint/compliment etc

    Best advice is to steer well clear! Chances are if they were genuine we would probably have them listed on the first page :beer:

    Yup. I know exactly the coupon this is and it's usually sent out in response to a letter or if one of their online coupons doesn't print they send this £3 off any RB product one out to you. They do have an expiry on them so any without an expiry have probably been doctored in some way. I have contacted a couple of the companies where their coupons are being sold on eBay and they confirmed these eBay coupons are indeed fakes and they are investigating trying to find out who are the individuals who are actively producing these. They don't really publicise these investigations as they don't want the perpetrators to know they are being watched and then pull a disappearing act.

    It seems most companies are aware but I would contact the company in question if you see this on eBay as not all companies may be aware. eBay themselves unfortunately don't give a fig :( Shops are not reimbursed for these fakes by the companies either, hence why waitrose has suspended redemption of all Internet coupons as a national policy and other stores are far more reluctant to accept them xx

    Mods - would it be worth starting a thread of 'known suspicious sellers/coupons for sale on eBay'? I personally fell foul of this thinking some Andrex ones were real, but fortunately managed to get a refund from Paypal and report the seller to eBay.

    think this is new from ebay restricted items rules (whether they'll now do something if reported is another matter)

    Hi. Does anyone know if the Tesco Finest £2 off a £10 spend is still available? There was a post with a PDF of the Tesco Finest magazine at the end of the old thread. Can't find any reference to it in the first post here. Thankyou!
