My syndicated Super-Couponing Tips column for the week is entitled “Counterfeit couponing in the movies.“
Here’s an excerpt:
“We recently watched a movie about women who became wealthy selling fake coupons. While it is a comedy, I read it was based on a true story. I would like to know how these ladies got away with selling fake coupons for so long. How did they actually work when scanned at the store if they were fake? Were they punished at all? In the movie, one fled and moved to Europe. I would also like to know if the companies hurt by the actions of these women were reimbursed. It seemed that they made millions of dollars.”

Years ago, coupons did not have bar codes, and many did not have expiration dates. The merchant would take the loss if it accepted an improper coupon.
