Greenville police are looking for a counterfeiting suspect who they say has been selling fake pizza coupons.

For the past two weeks police say Terry Hirneisen of Wake Forest has produced at least 500 sheets of Papa Johns Pizza coupons. Police say he then sold sheets of coupons for $10 each under the guise of a fund raising effort.

Police say they have found at least two victims and believe Hirneisen has sold the coupons in New Bern, Goldsboro, Rocky Mount, Jacksonville, Morehead City, Havelock, Beaufort, Winterville, Kinston, Washington and Wilson.

The counterfeit coupons can be identified by looking at the back page of the double sided sheet and seeing 'RMD Marketing Inc.' in the lower right hand corner.

Greenville police say if you believe you are a victim, please contact the police department in the community where the purchase was made.

If anyone knows where Hirneisen is, you're urged to contact Crime Stoppers 252-758-7777.

It is disappointing someone is misrepresenting the marketing workforce with such pathetic disgrace. Some marketers work really hard. And- really are the hub of great and wonderful fundraisers.
