CRIMINAL PROSECUTION AND/OR CIVIL ACTION.
This public service announcement and reward program has been provided by The Coupon Information
Corporation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the integrity of the coupon redemption
process. Visit the CIC web site at www.couponinformationcenter.com for more information about coupon
fraud.
CIC REWARD FOR TIPS LEADING TO THE PROSECUTION
OF THE COUPON COUNTERFEITER(S) AND RESULTING RESTITUTION REGARDING THE COUNTERFEIT
COUPONS IDENTIFIED ON PREVIOUS PAGE.
Subject to the conditions below, the Coupon Information Corporation (“CIC”) hereby offers a reward of
$2,500 or 25% of the restitution awarded to and collected by CIC and/or CIC’s Members, whichever is
less, for information concerning counterfeit coupons identified on the previous page where:
1. Such information is provided to CIC on or before December 13, 2013;
2. When referred to law enforcement officials deemed appropriate by CIC in light of the geographic
location of the alleged counterfeiting activities, the information prompts law enforcement officials
to initiate a new investigation of such activities; and
3. That investigation leads to a prosecution and/or plea agreement resulting in the payment of
restitution to CIC and/or one or more of its Members.
CIC notes that, while it will take reasonable steps, if warranted, to encourage these matters, it has no
ability to control: 1) whether law enforcement officials decide to initiate an investigation, 2) the scope and
intensity of any such investigation, 3) whether law enforcement officials seek restitution in any plea
agreement and/or a court orders restitution, and 4) whether restitution is awarded and actually paid.
CIC is not a law enforcement agency and will not conduct any investigation itself. Also, the information
must lead to a new investigation; providing information or cooperating in an ongoing or previously-initiated
investigation is not sufficient. Finally, as is evident from the terms above, if there is no restitution, there
will be
no reward. Any questions concerning this offer may be directed to Bud Miller, Executive
Director of the CIC, at
703-684-5307.
