This is an old story but still rings true today, this is about a "Pro Photog" that was offering a $650 photoshoot at a groupon price of $50. Now encase you did not know the prices you see on groupon are split 50/50 with the seller and groupon, groupon deals are such that they will take a fixed 50% of any revenue for their service. So the seller was doing this shoot for $25 for a 1 hour shoot. the seller ended up selling over 1000 of these but then people started to question the images in her albums to the point of she was faking using other photographers pictures as her own, needless to say groupon refund all the money so she did not get a penny.
Moral of the story is you get what you pay for and if a deal looks too good to be true then guess what is usually is.
