cathysafr Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 A couple of weeks ago someone posted a Pizza Hut deal where you could get a free two topping pizza with a coupon from E Trade. Well, we went to use it tonight in Northern Illinois and were told that an email had been sent out a couple of days ago to all Pizza Hut managers not to accept any coupons from E Trade that this was totally a scam and that they should call the local police. Luckily, the manager just let us pay for the pizzas and did not call the police, but wanted to let you know to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fancychance Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks for the info, I thought that site looked a little strange so I never printed the coupon off. I sure hope no one who innocently prints one to use gets in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairydustcrissy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I hate to say it, but everyone was warned that this was not real. I have a hard time feeling bad for anyone who is made "uncomfortable" trying to use this, as it was made pretty clear on the other thread that irt was a fake.

bethbutt Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 DITTO, it's just dishonest to even try knowing it's fraudulent.I hate to say it, but everyone was warned that this was not real. I have a hard time feeling bad for anyone who is made "uncomfortable" trying to use this, as it was made pretty clear on the other thread that irt was a fake.

Stowasser Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just a note before judging anyone, not everyone reads all the post everyday, so if you printed it off and didn't get back for a few days, you may of missed the posts about it being a fake. Just don't judge too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopnMom Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Oh My! Thanks!! I had mentioned this to my husband that we might use it but I had not actually printed it and I never looked back at the thread... I would be totally embarrassed, especially since it's a small local Pizza Hut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mghtymth27 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just to stick up for my mom (cathysafr), she does not check this site regularly. She has not been feeling well since she printed to pizza hut coupon, so she had not been back on to check the thread. She came back to tell everyone about the fraud (not knowing that it had already been posted). I don't think she needs to get jumped on for trying to give someone a heads up. I feel bad for the people that don't realize this is a fake, but not for the people that try to get away with something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some people dont check regularly. I know that some will honestly think its a real coupon & try to use it. I also know that many posters, even after myself and numerous others said it was fake, said they were going to use it anyways. Those are the ones I do not feel bad for.

I hope they get caught. Either way they will have to pay for it one way or another, at some point.My mom had been telling me for a couple of days about this post, but I didn't get on to check it out. I wish I had now. I would have told her about it being a fake. I know she would have shredded it. Makes it worse when she took my daughter with her to Pizza Hut to pick it up.

Guest Deals4Me Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm not jumping on anyone, so no one think I am, but UNLESS you directly recieved the coupon from etrade, then you had an idea that it would be fraud... Thank god managers dont ask questions cause it could of been real embarressing to explain where you got it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
