I found this:

I mean... for real?
Are people that stupid to think they won't get caught?...

And the guy even posted a photo of the entire receipt (containing traceable info) with a photo of the fake coupon.

Smart guy.

 

[devastator's balls]

LOL! Hey man he was happy it worked! Still a ******* for posting it.

They really cant do much to the guy unless they can prove he knowingly used a fraudulent coupon. Really this is on Toys R us for not verifying the coupon. Really where was a Manager, what retailer would take such a coupon.

we got those posted at the registers so the cashier knows not to accept them. they have been up for along while now though.

 

[samhain88]

LMAO. Thats great.

Do any of you guys watch Red Eye on Fox News? There was a huge discussion a few months back, on how people have become even more stupid now days, since they feel compelled to publicize all of their sordid (and illegal) information on the Internet. The person on that link is a perfect example. I mean, seriously, what happened to the days, when people just kept things to themselves (and carried their secrets to the grave)? The dude probably would have gotten away if he didn't post that pic lol. Not, that I condone theft, of course. I'm glad that he was caught.

Don't they scan coupons to get the amount? How did he get it to work? Or why did they take it if it didn't scan?

Managers can probably override it with their key.

What an idiot, good on him for trying, bound to get found out soon lol
Though I don't think I could morally do that

This other guy apparently got caught at Kmart.

I'm glad the jerk got caught. I had to scrimp and save to buy my PS3 back in November 08.

omg... I just googled "fake coupons" and was utterly shocked to see how many sites actually provide tutorials for making these kinds of things. Aren't there federal laws against publicizing this stuff?

Hey, if people can make websites that explain how to make bombs, how can this not be against the rules

And check this video out. Can't believe it worked...

Someone tried to use the free PS3 coupon today while I was leaving. The cashier laughed, and I checked the coupon to see if it was the "infamous" coupon.
