"you can meet all kinds of tricks, even a fake 25-yuan coffee voucher, and I'm satisfied." Reader Ms. Ma recently reported to our hotline 28201000 that she used coffee coupons bought online at Starbucks Coffee Shop and was told that it was fake and could not be used.

Ms. Ma told the reporter, "before the National Day holiday, I bought some Starbucks coffee coupons from a WeChat merchant for 25 yuan each. When I get to the store, I can exchange a cup of 355 ml coffee drink at will." In brick-and-mortar stores, drinks with such a large capacity are basically around 39 yuan, and buying this coffee coupon for exchange can save a lot of money. But when I went to the store to exchange the coupons, I was told that the coupons were fake and could not be used. " During the interview, Ms. Ma showed the coffee coupons she bought from WeChat merchants. It is really difficult to tell the true from the false from the appearance and printing process of the coupon.

Starbucks staff told reporters, "as the 2014 version of coffee coupons will expire at the end of this year, many online stores are promoting sales under this guise. Recently, many stores have found that customers come to the store with coffee coupons purchased online. But after screening, most of them are fake coupons. It is understood that customers get coupons from online stores or WeChat merchants, while Starbucks coupons are only sold in stores. Taobao or WeChat merchants are not official sales, so consumers should not be credulous. "

In the interview, the staff also showed the reporter how to tell the authenticity of the coffee coupon. After irradiating with a fluorescent pen, the real coupon will appear the company trademark and security logo. At the same time, the new version of the coffee coupon also has a QR code and bar code, which are not on the fake coupon.
