    Would anyone be able to offer their opinion on this subject please. I'm just wondering before I use a coupon I found online for facebook. I'm quite tempted to use it as I ran by a few of these before but dare not use it fearing that it was illegal and my account get suspended or fined for using such coupons. It expires December 2009 and it's value is $50. I'm just wondering if do use coupons found online will they void the coupon at a later date and fine you the amount due or is it possible they will suspend your account. Is it in anyway violating the law? I saw this coupon pass around quite a lot, many use it without any problems, you can easily find this with a quick search or on this forum are these coupons illegal to use? because facebook had coupons like this before but expired, I should have grabbed the chance but I wasn't sure of any legal consequences.
    thanks, cause I really want to use it but at the same time I don't want to incur unnecessary fines from negligence, so I though no harm asking you people out there with probably more experience.
    thanks

    Sorry if this is the wrong section, I apologize I was deciding between the ppc or the legal section but I'm guessing people here would know more about laws.

    Also on a side note this forum has a section in buy and sell for vouchers, many are selling vouchers on there 10 dollar with value of 100 which supposedly gotten from hosting companies is it advisable to purchase and use those coupons, it's really a bargain because I rather spend $10 and get 100 then to spend $10 competing for keywords with all the others who got free coupons online and bought it on offer.

    Thanks again for your advice in advance:)
    Oh and if you want the coupon code just pm me, although you can probably easily find it with a quick search on google or the forum.
