Photo Copying Coupons is Illegal

November 3, 2011 by Kathy Spencer Leave a Comment

Recently I received an email with allegations stating that a member of this site has started there own site and not only copies my deals which is copy write infringement which is a whole other issue  but also encourages people to photocopy coupons.

Photo copying coupons is a big NO NO!!

We have gone over this a million times but bare with me one more time incase anyone is confused.

I want to be clear that all newbies are not confused by badf information from bad web sites that have popped up like crazy the past year.

You are allowed to print 2 coupon per IP address from most major coupon sites. If you have 3 computers that means you can get a total of 6 coupons to print. If you want more find another computer at the library or a friends house or trade for them but DO NOT  photo copy them.

Manufactueres have caught on to this and have started putting unique tracking numbers on coupons to identify if a coupon has been copied.  Coupons can be tracked back to the IP address of the computer the coupon originally came from. So say you copied 500 from the one original and use them over an over again to score ..I don’t know say free dental hygiene products at Walmart.  If so then you have committed fraud.

If the store is tracking you and guess what they probably are you now have $500.00 in fraud for just that one coupon. Chances are that’s not the only coupon you have used so do that with 3 other sets of $1.00 off illegal coupons and you are now at $2000.00 in  coupon fraud.  Once you have reached 2 grand in bad coupons  is when you will be arrested and charged with a felony.

That’s what you get for being a copy cat.

Is it worth it?

I highly doubt it!

Don’t be a copy cat
