700 POSSIBLE VICTIMS NAMED IN $250M COUPON
FRAUD CASE
May 19, 2008 - An additional 700 potential victims nationwide, ranging from food companies to
newspapers, have been named in a massive fraud scheme involving the nation's largest
coupon company.
Eleven men _ mostly from International Outsourcing Services based in Bloomington, Ind. _
were charged in March 2007 with 25 counts of wire fraud. Seven also have been charged with
obstruction of justice.
Early filings named more than 100 victims, including Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc.,
Colgate-Palmolive Co., and Gerber Products Co.
But there could be 700 more victims, including ExxonMobil Oil, the Kansas City Star, and the
National Pork Board, U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic said in a new filing in the Eastern District
of Wisconsin late last month. The filing said prosecutors would follow up with the companies
named.
The indictment alleges the defendants submitted fraudulent coupons to manufacturers for
payment of up to $250 million between 1997 and 2006.
