<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Details on &#8220;The Coupon Con&#8221; Episode of ABC&#8217;s <em>The Con</em></h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">&#8220;The Coupon Con&#8221; didn&#8217;t start out as an elaborate plan. It simply began because Lori Ann Talens was on bedrest and wanted a way to save money. Although pretty soon, she found couponing to be addictive thanks to the rush of getting good deals. This is when Lori decided to use her graphic design skills and create new coupons to score free meals, household supplies and money, according to ABC. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">She didn&#8217;t stop there. Her next &#8220;business move&#8221; was to start a counterfeit ring, complete with vetting new members to continue the couponing. This is what alerted authorities to Lori&#8217;s activities, including the The Coupon Information Corporation which monitored the group. After an FBI stakeout led to a raid on her house, coupons were discovered in every corner of the home. </p>
