How do you make a digital coupon to begin with i herd of and seen physical coupon Fraud. People do commit coupon fraud using 2-3 digital coupons that come off and also using paper coupons at the same time at cvs. Im sure at other stores but i see it more at CVS cause i coupon at cvs and do it all the right way and follow the rules
Our grocery store was one of for of our chain hit. I was one of the associates who got suspicious enough that the person fled without continuing more of his fake shopping. He went to one register for a few buy 2 get 1 sods cases, used a card on his phone that looked like one we use, but brought the price to less than $1. He went to my register next, same deal, but also got a $50 Visa. His phone app brought the price below $5. By store rule, since the coupon went through, we had to accept it. It was late that we had few people and managers at the time. As he went to a third register, we delayed him as we discussed it with the manager. He must have realized we caught on because he fled. I later discovered we were one of four stores hit.
This is good. Cops focusing less on minor traffic stops and more on FBI type tasks that do protect communities is awesome.
