And there are a lot more. They kept on doing it even after it was brought
to TLC's attention and I am one of the people who did so.

There is a list of bogus coupons.

There is a link here to check if your coupons are fake:

You can still buy these fake coupons on Ebay and other places. Not that I
am telling you to do so. Anyway... On the last episode, a woman was
shopping at the Seattle K Mart and used the very same bogus toilet paper
coupons that were brought to their attention prior. I do not have the link
about her but it's out there somewhere. She said that she didn't know that
she had bogus coupons and that she was just trying to save money because she
was having a baby. But IMO she would have to have known. It was all over
the Internet that the coupons were bogus and most people who do make an
effort to use coupons on a regular basis do check in at least once in a
while to the various couponing websites. The bogus coupons are always
listed there so that we don't accidentally use them.

I may have in fact bought bogus coupons from Ebay. I did buy coupons a few
times. But the ones that seemed too good to be true were not for products
that are sold in this area. So chances are, the few I was able to use were
legit.
