The Honey extension also intentionally misleads users and often displays bad deals when collaborating with merchants.

PayPal Honey is a highly popular browser extension that promises users the best deals when e-shopping. Right before you check out, the tool scans the web for applicable coupon codes and, theoretically, presents them all to you. Sounds too good to be true, right? That's because it is. A new investigation has revealed how the Honey extension actually works, and apparently, it's scamming both the creators who promote it and the customers who rely on its discounts.
