Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 1537461" data-attributes="member: 158">Here's another issue that, while relatively trivial, falls in the same vein - discount coupon counterfeiting. If I had a bookstore who had limited run of coupons for $10.00 off every purchase, but the coupon was ridiculously easy to counterfeit, and I printed up, say, 50 copies or so, is the store taking a loss from the book purchases I make?In reality, coupon counterfeiting is actually with the advent of color lasers and high-quality paper stock becoming more common - I heard something in a new report on this about six months ago. While it's not grand theft, it's still something of a concern to vendors, whose retailers (the stores themselves) are getting shafted when the vendors don't honor the bogus coupons. A report on the CIC website estimated somewhere between 300 million to 600 million dollars loss annually. Interesting stuff!</blockquote>
