Lori Ann Talens made bogus coupons and scammed retailers out of $32 million. “And you’d have people walking out the door with those diapers for almost nothing.” Lori Ann Talens was living the high life amid the scam. And it would work,” said Postal Inspector Jason Thomasson.
“She had coupons for $24.99 off a $25 box of diapers. Investigators seized more than $1 million worth of phony coupons at the house of alleged scammer Lori Ann Talens in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Designs on her seized computer allowed her to create fake coupons for some 13,000 products, according to the FBI. Talens, who has a background in marketing and strong computer design skills, was able to counterfeit coupons for “almost any grocery or drug store product and to make it for whatever value off she wanted,” federal authorities said. The modern-day Frank Abagnale - whose check fraud scam was highlighted in Steven Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can” - was also ordered to pay $31.8 million in restitution at her September sentencing. She was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison. Talens pleaded guilty in April to mail, wire and health care fraud in connection with the scheme. The scope of the fraud that Lori Ann Talens, 41, masterminded was so “staggering” that the massive sum of her theft was a “conservative estimate,” according to information released by the FBI last week. Officials detailed how a Virginia Beach woman was able to make bogus coupons and scammed retailers out of $32 million.
