NEW FAKE COUPON ALERT
Below is a Enfamil coupon. If you come across this coupon, DO NOT use it! I work hard to ensure coupons I post are legitimate, but could make mistakes. Always be conscious of coupons that are “too good to be true” unless they come directly from the manufacturers site.
There are some red flags in this coupon that should let you know it is fake:
1) It is to good to be true : ie $5 off a 2 oz bottle
2) The expiration date: The better the deal usually a shorter redemption time
UPC: 580087430830 8179379713 0366100936696616

Thanks, CIC & Budget Savvy Diva!
Holy cow! Those are some pretty awesome penalties for those who knowingly do it! Hopefully those on extreme couponing doing it illegally get what’s coming to them, or her.
They take it very seriously. Rumor is she’s being investigated.
I bought some of these coupons off of ebay last week. my baby uses the ready to feed formula which is about 6.50-7.00 a can. i went to walmart and used 5 of these with no problem. how are they fake if they scan? i don’t want to get in trouble!
Hi Laura,
It doesn’t say on the CIC site if a legitimate $5 off Enfamil coupon existed. People do take real coupons and alter or copy them producing counterfeit coupons. You would need to know the UPC code on the coupons you used. If purchasing these coupons in the future, I would check the CIC website to verify the coupons you are purchasing don’t have the bar codes listed above.
Due to technology, counterfeit coupons could scan
