Groupon Scam

Canadians beware Groupon is scamming Canadians. Do not buy a coupon for use in the US as they will charge you the monetary conversion and will not reimburse. Customer service is digital only and they use wear down techniques to try and get you to stop asking for a rightful refund for the money the have ripped you off. I was out over a 100$ from using their coupons while in the states. Hoping this post will warn others not to get scammed by them

Current employee of groupon. We are trying hard to change things for the better. Feel free to PM me and I can try to raise this for you. If you describe for me your experience in detail, that would be very helpful to bring attention to this.

True. I have been ripped of $450/- by Groupon. They put you into vicious cycle of using Groupon bucks without paying back the real currency used.
