Great to be made aware of these scams. Thank you for your wonderful daily updates
@Nanna@Goulburn I am so sorry, honestly the amount of members who have emailed in saying the exact same thing has made me feel physically sick today. I will update everyone as soon as I hear back from the ACCC.I am also a victim .How do they sleep at night
@BabsL this is a fantastic point! I'm going to contact SCAMWATCH right now, hopefully they can help get the word out!After being bombarded with this aggressive green & yellow advert over several months last year, I nearly signed. But Australia does not use Food Coupons or Supermarket Vouchers. Many foods mentioned are not Australian
$65 is a lot of money to get a bargain! USA was the advert contact, and website was a .com not .com.au
I didn't sign.
ALWAYS go to SCAMWATCH website on all these offers. Type in the business or offer, and read why NOT to sign up. Tell your friends, put it in the church newsletter.
These days, you must check every advert and promo that wants your money.
To me, if anything looks to good to be true, I avoid it. Also something like what you have reported I would automatically send to my spam folder to be blocked for future emails received by them.URGENT: Seniors Discount - Coupon65 Scam
Hi members,
I was heart broken today to receive an email from one of our members who had been scammed by a company called Coupon65 who was claiming to have Seniors Discounts. This is their website - https://www.coupon65.com/.
Please AVOID this company at all costs. This member bought a watch from them which was advertised as $49, he was then debited $150 and the watch barely works.
They are a US based company clearly targeting Australians over the age of 60 and I have reported them to the ACCC.
We are currently trying to get in touch with them to help this member get a refund, but I am not sure how successful we will be as they seem very dodgy.
Avoid them at all costs, members!
I'v I've fell for it, believing it be genuine and is a branch of this site. Ordered Japanese knife sets. It took a long time to come. Charged foreign currency conversion. No proper invoice given despite me asking for it. When I enquired about the delivery of 2nd item I received swift response on line. The item was delivered within a few days. The actual knives look rough and not the fine beautifully crafted Japanese product as i expected to see. Genuine Japanese cratmanship is superior. I'm not sure what i should do, return atmore cost ?Yes, beware folks. I'm done with this company. The address given email seems to be in Lithuania?? Thanks admin team in the warning us and the member who reported it.URGENT: Seniors Discount - Coupon65 Scam

Hi @Montana thank you for letting us know! We haven't heard back from Coupon65 since yesterday. We are still waiting to hear from the ACCC and Scamwatch! If we hear anything back from them we will also raise your issue!I'v I've fell for it, believing it be genuine and is a branch of this site. Ordered Japanese knife sets. It took a long time to come.

LlI was subscribed to them but never purchased anything. I thought their emails looked dodgy so I unsubscribed. Thank you for giving us the heads up.
I've just thought of an appropriate punishment as well as jail time, when they are caught. Bring back stocks. Put them in asin thoroughfare and let the public throw rotten.food at them for a week part of the problem with these scammers is the punishment. When they do get caught. Doesn't fit the crime perhaps another reader can think of something even better
Thanks for the heads up bloody scumURGENT: Seniors Discount - Coupon65 Scam
