IMPORTANT UPDATE!
First off, I want you guys to know that EVERYTHING posted on Coupon Pro is totally legitimate. I’m very picky (I’m so picky I don’t even choose advertisements on Coupon Pro that are not completely 100% legit and worth it unlike many coupon/freebie blogs out there – If I wouldn’t do it I wouldn’t let my readers do it) about what I post on Coupon Pro for good reason but unfortunately, Pringles has CONFIRMED the “FREE PringlesXtreme Full Size Can” (since removed) posted yesterday was NOT a legitimate offer.
This offer gets even more confusing/odd/out of this world because someone updated Pringles official Facebook stating “To those of you who clicked on our app and got a screenful of nonsense when you were signing up for a coupon for a free Pringles Xtreme sample, our apologies: No nonsense now. It’s real and it’s going fast!”
The main reasons why I posted the offer so quickly was because it was posted on one of the biggest coupon/freebie blogs out there + you guys know freebies like this go fast. I should of known something was fishy because I checked the Pringles official Facebook page before I posted it and it was no where to be found.
I work hard to get the very best samples, coupons, deals and freebies out to you guys as quickly as possible but I feel TERRIBLE when I post something to thousands of people thats not legit. I sincerely apologize!
Now, go go go remove the PringlesXtreme Sampling application from your Facebook ASAP:
You are able to remove anyone (in this case PringlesXtreme Sampling) from having access to your profile by reading How To Remove Company Applications from Accessing your Profile on Facebook?.

SOUNDED TO GOOD TO BE TRUE ANYWAY
Thank You for taking the time to explain and apologize to all of us. You're human. We know that you wouldn't intentionally lead us wrong. BUMMER that it was a FAKE.
Thanks for the heads up! Ur blog is awesome, and I'm grateful for all the freebies and deals I have gotten thus far.
Hey, you take great care of us freebie-lovers. We all understand! Thanks for working so hard. 🙂
What about our information that we gave out? That is not going into the wrong hands, is it??
The information that you gave is information that anyone can get with just a few clicks of a mouse. Name, address, phone.
If the actual Pringles Co. is "the right hands" then…well, yeah. Its in the wrong hands. Nothing you can do about it now. *shrug* Crap happens.
my computer blocked a virus after allowing this APP. I hope no one else had problems or got infected
No worries here..I appreciate all that you do find for us thanks :O)
"because it was posted on one of the biggest coupon/freebie blogs out there" – What website is that????
that's weird. i went to delete the app and its not on my FB. I will have to double check.
