We purchased a listed groupon which they both provided fake confirmation of reservation and altered the agreement substantially after the purchase was made. They took our money and left us with a worthless groupon and no reservations (per the hotel involved). Their response so far has been to admit guilt 3 times in writing, take our money, hang up on us in a "chat", provide confirmation of reservations that do no exist, and offer (after hours of effort by us) to "make things right" with $35 dollars in groupon bucks (stole almost $400 to date…).

Groupon placed a second order for the identical item after one order was already placed. I called my amex and they said groupon does this all the time. This is unethical and fraudulent. I will be contacting the ScamPulse.com regarding this and voicing my concern on social media as well.

I received an email that appears to be from Groupon, using the Groupon logo. The email states there are problems with two computers I’ve purchased. (I’ve not purchased any computers from Groupon.) The information at the bottom of the page looks legit as well, with a hyperlink to customer support, and the Groupon name and company address.

Groupon sold a service that is no longer in business. When I contacted groupon for a refund they said it was outside of there 3 day policy to refund the money and there is nothing they can do. Groupon is still selling that out of business service on their website.

Type of a scam Credit Cards
I was scheduling a hotel thru groupon and having trouble so I called the company. The receptionist told me to make a new account which I did. So I booked the hotel on the new account. I was charged twice for the hotel. They said on the phone I booked it twice so I can’t be refunded and they have no proof of me contacting them so they can’t help me. I booked the hotel once on the new account. The receptionist claims I booked it twice. He would not let me speak to a supervisor.
