We all love our coupons. It has been a weekly, sometimes daily, pursuit to find, clip, organize, and fill out forms, contests, and surveys to acquire coupons. Some are small 25 cents off, while others are for totally FREE products!

But there’s a growing problem with fraudulent coupons ruining the fun for the rest of us. With a computer, a simple graphic program, a printer, and a little bit of know-how, ‘thieves’ are counterfeiting their own discounts based on the real coupons, and cashing in on free merchandise or selling them to unsuspecting couponers like us.
