Dumb way to learn how to use coupons

Now for those of you who follow this blog regularly, you'll remember that my research over the last several posts has been focused on two sites that are offering work at home opportunities that are supposedly "pre-screened" according to their own tagline "The Work At Home & Home Business Opportunities Outlined Below Are Presented Only After Careful & Strict Review".

What we're finding is that these are about as screened as the sand on the beach.  My dog could do a better job "reviewing" these because if this is their idea of "careful and strict review" they certainly missed the boat! In particular, these sites are called scam Work at Home Digest and scam Work at Home Business Opportunities (which is by the way up for sale).  As part of my continued insistence that SOMETHING on one of these sites might be legitimate, I continued to plow through their "offers". So, today, I found this one:



Hey let's face it, we ALL spend

too much money on  groceries right? So why not take advantage of this and see what happens right? Well I clicked through and something rang bells in my brain. You see the site name is Coupon Queens and I knew I had seen that name before. But where?  Well it took me a few minutes, but sure enough, I found that the company "Information Net Source" which has this stellar F rating from the BBB has that listed under their list of scam money making sites.  You can see that here:


 

Now I don't know how many people get sucked into this one every month but let me say this about that: Once you "click through" this site you wind up on yet another site called Smart Couponing System.

Now frankly, if you are keeping house, doing regular grocery shopping  and have Internet access WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU NEED TO PAY ANYONE $37 TO LEARN HOW TO USE COUPONS. Honestly, are people that STUPID or is this con artist stupid enough to think that we don't know where to find free coupons. Honestly people if you WANT coupons you DO HAVE OPTIONS that are FREE (ya imagine that free).
