DM News: CoolSavings Warns Against Fraudulent Coupons

A non-naughty coupon sample

Stung by Publix's new policy of
not honoring web coupons, web coupon company CoolSavings issued a warning about fraudulent coupons copied from offline sources and sold online through sites like eBay - a much more prevalent form of fraud. CoolSavings CEO said that the real problem is with the offline coupon companies that make easily-counterfeited certificates for high-value products, creating temptations for fraudsters.

As a means of preventing this sort of grifting, CoolSavings will no longer make offers for free products.
