A Phoenix, AZ, woman is going to prison for 2 years for her involvement in a fake coupon ring. Read about it here. She may have to pay up to $5 million in restitution. She is guilty of counterfeiting. Police seized more than $25 million worth of fake coupons and $2 million in assets from her home. Counterfeit coupons were brought in from overseas and sold on line. These were high value free item coupons, like for a free box of Pampers worth $12, etc.
Here are some other examples of counterfeit coupons, not necessarily involved in the above case --

* Moral of the story for all of us who coupon honestly:
Distrust any source that wants to sell you multiples of the same high value free item coupon(s). There is no legitimate source of dozens of identical high-value free item coupons, with the very rare exception of someone who wins a sweepstakes of a year's supply of a particular product.
