Smartsource coupon fraud

[AB2]

One of the printable coupons I had today that appeared to be a smartsource one for $1.00 off 5 SoBe 20 oz or Propel turned out to be a fraud according to my Ralph's cashier today. It had the bar codes and the logo and pin number etc. Though I love using coupons to save money I had no intention of using fraudulent ones. How can one tell? Is there something specific to look for? Since I print from so many sites, I can't remember where these particular ones came from. Most of them happen to have "Stater Bros." also printed on the coupons.
Advice?

I think you can read on hcw . there is a board about fraud coupons. I only do coupons.com and some other reputable websites and usually powered by coupons.com that allow you to do two prints.

and I don't like much smart source since my computer always acting up with their program or just my browser anyways sometimes to be more selective is might be better and not to print and don't get to use and don't waste the ink.

hope that help.

Wierd. Maybe you printed it when all the pepsi ones came out from Stater Bros. Maybe someone let it go live and it wasnt suposed to. I remember printing a bunch of them from there. I dont see it listed on here

Also can't find anything on google about a fraudulent Propel coupon.
