Counterfeit Coupons

I have talked with a couple of you guys about coupons that you got in your email box recently.
These coupons were for FREE Reynolds Aluminum Foil and Velveeta Cheese.

These are counterfeit coupons and will not be accepted by the stores.

One quick rule of thumb for you when you receive coupon tips.
If the coupon comes as an email attachment, it's probably not legit (and it could even be a nasty virus...so I wouldn't open it)
Legitimate printable coupons leads will mostly be links that take you to a website where you can print coupons. Most of these sites will use a coupon printer that assigns your coupon with it's own unique expiration date.
One final rule of thumb...if it looks too good to be true, it usually is.

Hope this info helps!
Happy Saving!!

ps...don't just take my word for it, here is a link to the coupon information corporation.
It is a list of counterfeit coupons to be on the look out for.
