Someone posted it here on AFC, link got removed already.

Everybody, please... do NOT use this coupon.

Thank you

That is so disturbing that anyone would even think to do something like that!

[nattsgirl]

Oh gosh. Glad I missed this post, I don't think i read anything about it, where was I?

to ensure no one uses theirs!

[TJ_2008]

It was over at the Food Lion forum.

I really find it disturbing that people first of all make such stupid coupons, second of all use it!

[nattsgirl]

Oh that would be why. I have no Food Lion and "de selected" that forum off my list...

But I agree its horrible to make fake coupons.. Makes up couponers look bad

I was the one who made the post. It was a god honest mistake ... I did not know it was a fake - people were selling them on ebay - and I trade people for amp coupons all the time through other websites, and purchase them through ebay I was even going to buy these exact ones for $2.50 each before I foudn them off of ebay. I even did a google search to see if they were legit and nothing came up. I am so sorry for anyone I offended, I did use the coupon not knowing it would be a problem. I will go return the items to the store because I DO NOT want to get in trouble or get the cashier in any trouble either. Once again I am sorry - I just thought it was just like all the other printable coupons off the internet. I am still learning and can be adult enough to admit I made a mistake.

I saw the post/ link but don't use that product. I was wondering how I'd know a Q was fake unless I saw a notice like this. Thanks for the update.

Somehow I never think that anything FREE is real... now something that doubles UP TO free... that is more believable in my world...

No one was calling names, we just simply said that we think it is wrong... I believe you thought it was an honest mistake, and am not judging you... I'm sorry you got ripped off too

[alexander-42]

Now that I know it was a fake, I just can't believe people are actually selling them, and for quite a few dollars. On ebay the bids for 10 coupons are already at $9.99 with 5 days left. I'm glad I found out they were not acceptable coupons.

No name callings here either. My anger goes to the people who created those coupons and people who (knowing they are counterfeit) use them. Just want to make this clear. I don't want to have "bad blood" here.

[alexander-42]

Yes, it was just a misunderstanding. I already felt bad when I realized they were fake after reading your post, and then I wanted to make sure people knew I am not a dishonest person. I pride myself on my honesty so I wanted everyone to know I would've never used them or posted them knowing they weren't legit which is why I tried researching the coupon.

No bad blood - you guys are awesome.

I also got this coupon last week and went to cents-off and checked to see if it was fake and I found nothing and I used one at walmart but before I used it I even had them to check they checked with the bookkeeper and he said he hadn't heard anything about it being no good and I could use it. Now that I know it's bad after I used it what should I do? I don't want to get into any trouble so what should I do contact someone about paying for it.

Misty

Because this is what's on the flyer from cent's off

I buy coupons off of ebay aswell as trade them on AFC. If I were to recieve that coupon, I probaly would have used it too not even knowing it was fake. I don't think anyone is upset with you!! We know that it was a honest mistake!!

I probably would go back to the store. Explain them the situation and tell them you want to return the item if you still have it.
If you do not have it anymore tell them that you want to pay for it.
