Fake certificate from Groupon course

A bbb report about a phishing scam that cost someone $49.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Source: bbb | Scam Type: Phishing | Amount Lost: $49.0 | Date: April 10, 2026
Took a course through Groupon for this company. They sent a fake certificate which I had to pay additional for. The state does not recognize it. I disputed it as they would not refund me, and then they started harassing me in emails saying they were going to report me, which I knew was obviously a bluff because they just wanna keep their money. Total scam.
