So a friend of mine just emailed me a coupon, i'm suspicious. - General

[QUOTE=JDK721;22996033]lol was the cashier brain dead?[/QUOTE] It's quite easy to come up with a reason why you have such an absurd coupon. "I won this in an online contest" could be said and I'm sure the cashier wouldn't reject it.

A coupon for a free ps3? that's really not believable. A controller maybe, but not the whole console.

I remember when /b/ was giving out shitloads of coupons, got myself some mountain dew and bawls for free.

Well after browsing /b/ for a while I collected me a couple of food coupons. /b/ actually did something good today.

those coupons might be fake.

I saved tons of these, I keep them on a flash drive which also has 10GB of ebooks and information, for emergencies. |You never know

Pleased to meet you Suspicious. I'm Psychokitten.

[QUOTE=superm0ney;22997016]those coupons might be fake.[/QUOTE] Read the thread next time. They are fake. That's the point.

[QUOTE=AutoTurret;22995624]Well guys I traced these coupons back to /b/ look at this shit: [img]http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/6113/1277864513178.png[/img][/QUOTE] Whoa, what? HOW?!

[QUOTE=AutoTurret;22996797]Well after browsing /b/ for a while I collected me a couple of food coupons. /b/ actually did something good today.[/QUOTE] They have been doing this for years...

Fucking-A! I'd love to get myself a free PS3

I got 5870 from PC world in the UK by making one of these fake coupons

You may as well just break in and steal it from them tbh, if you do this you are not just tricking someone, you are stealing their shit.

Social engineering at it's finest. I love social engineering. [QUOTE=Asm;23028745]Its not stealing if you get a reciept[/QUOTE] It is presenting an illegitimate promotion coupon in means to illicitly obtain a discounted or in this case a free product. It's fraud.

I wish I had the balls to do something like this.

Is this considered pirating? Because after bestbuy sold me a game with no disc in it then refused to admit their mistake at all I think they deserve this. At least to the value of my money lost.

[QUOTE=BlueSaint;23028803]Is this considered pirating? Because after bestbuy sold me a game with no disc in it then refused to admit their mistake at all I think they deserve this.

And even if they did it's policy and legality to take in the game (cover) and replace it or refund it. Trying to make up a story to justify fraud is equally illegitimate.

[QUOTE=BrQ;23028772]oh go cry us a river[/QUOTE] I'm afraid my lacrimal glands are insufficient for that task. But seriously, anyone considering doing this can face counterfietting charges I bet, and that means a criminal record etc. Unless you are seriously stupid, you won't try this.

/b/ thinks you are poor.

You'd expect them to change the system after the first... few hundred frauds

Oh and I was speaking of gamestop, why did I post bestbuy? I need to stop looking at a different website in the middle of posting, trying to see if those damn blade less fans are cheaper online because my cousin wants one and I figured I could get it for him. (His B-day is july 12th so yah know)

i still doubt you got an empty case bro... shit doesnt happen

This is just theft outright. Not even loophole theft like when EA accidentally sells their games for free. (Which is covered in consumer rights or something as being legal. This isn't.)

[QUOTE=ghostfais;23029042]i still doubt you got an empty case bro... shit doesnt happen[/QUOTE] Yes it does. The people who work at my local gamestop are really fucking dumb.

you said bestbuy previously... the lie unfolds... [editline]09:00AM[/editline] [QUOTE=BlueSaint;23028803]Is this considered pirating?

So wait.. Who cares if it stealing anyway? You're getting away with it for a while
