Stay Safe from Counterfeit Coupon Scams

Retail Coupons knows everyone loves a great deal — but scammers know that too. Fake coupons are showing up on websites, social media, text messages, and emails every day. These scams look real but are designed to steal money and personal information. This guide explains how to spot them and how to stay safe while finding real savings.

Why Fake Coupons Are Dangerous

Scammers often post fake coupon codes or offers that promise massive discounts, sometimes up to 80% off. They copy official brand logos and create realistic websites, making it hard to tell what’s fake. Once you click, you might be asked to enter payment details or personal data — and that’s where the risk begins.

  • You place an order, but the item never arrives and the website disappears.
  • Tracking information may show “delivered” even when nothing was shipped.
  • Some fake coupon sites charge monthly “membership” fees but never send real coupons.
  • Others collect your personal or credit card information under the promise of big discounts.

How to Protect Yourself from Fake Coupons

  • Be skeptical of deals that seem too good to be true.
  • Only use coupons from trusted sources like RetailCoupons.com or official brand websites.
  • Never share your credit card or bank details to claim a discount.
  • Check for errors, or strange URLs — common signs of fake coupons.
