Some one sent me an email with two .pdf coupons. One is for free Reynolds Wrap and the other is for Velveeta cheese. Are .pdf coupons legitimate? They wouldn't have unique bar codes. Do you think I can use them?

Thank you so much!

I believe these are fake coupons and there is a thread about it.

No actually those are fraudulent. Do not use them. I hope that helps, and it sucks those would have been some q's. :-)

Thank you so much. It seemed too good to be true.

Those are fake...It is a shame that people have to abuse q's, that is why couponers have so much trouble and get looked at like criminals at some stores

You could get arrested if you were caught...not worth it over a coupon!!

Really? Even if you just didn't know? There are occasional legit PDF coupons.

It's great we have the resources to find out if things are legit, but I am sure there are people who are just thinking they got a great coupon.

It does really stink that people can't take advantage of the great deals that exist without resorting to fraud.

Smart move to ask here OP!

Yes, the only time I use a pdf is if it comes straight off of the manufacturer's website.

I asked at my Kroger store yesterday, knowing it was maybe a fake, but not wanting to miss out on a great coupon if it wasn't a fake, ya know? The lady at the CS desk scanned it, and it actually came up as "fraudulant coupon" where it would normally say -2.00. She said Kraft had sent out mass e-mails to stores earlier that morning, and that they mentioned this was most likely an inside job! So sad when it gets that bad! Anyway, Kraft never puts out a legit IP that has no expiration date. Would have been an awesome coupon though!!
