I have found the Colnet online catalog to be helpful as well although there are "conflicts" between what is listed there and what is on the WNS system at times.
I have also found the Stampworld online catalog to be very useful as well although some controversial issues (Mainly Impressor S.A. unauthorized stamps) are listed there.
Or use a respectable catalog like Scott or Stanley Gibbons. Do not listen to these dealers trying to convince you they are something
other than illegal stamps.
The Legitimate Stamps issued by Madagascar for 2015
Printed by Joh Enschede Security Printers
These are the only stamp issues for Madagascar in 2015. Everything else is fake and illegal stamps.
Noting the dates on the stamps are 2014. According to the WNS system all were issued in 2015.
Here we go!
All imaged illegal stamps are for the year 2015.
Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and on fake First Day covers.
Most of the time now, (2016), the souvenir sheet sets and sheetlet sets are sold individually. In some cases the stamps have been removed from the sheetlets
and souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions.
If you have purchased any of these stamps from a dealer or if that dealer offers them, you should avoid that dealer! You will
only be supporting illegal stamp makers who are only ripping you off.
2015
The production of illegal stamps for Madagascar continues on an even larger scale than the previous years. Namely because
of no retaliation against dealers of them and no new circulars being generated at the UPU since 2008.
The block souvenir sheetlets and "diamond" shaped stamp souvenir sheets "series" started in 2013 continues. All are
illegal stamps! The same dealers (or should we call them "stealers") are selling them. More evidence they are connected with the
illegal stamp producers hands down!

2015 Albert Einstein Illegal Stamp Souvenir Sheetlet of four and Souvenir Sheet of One on Fake First Day Covers
Just about every illegal stamp issue with this style for Madagascar have fake First Day covers again. They never saw Madagascar and
were never cancelled by them.

2015 Sir Winston Churchill Illegal Stamp Souvenir Sheetlet of four and Souvenir Sheet of One
I stated on page 3 that in 2014 new styles of illegal stamps were introduced. either a competing illegal stamp producer has emerged or they were made
by the same producers. I think it is the former because the style is quite destinct and because some topics duplicate topics the maker of
the above illegal stamps produced.
Noting also the seller of the following souvenir sheets with circular stamps is different than the dealers selling the souvenir sheets with
diamond shaped stamps. Probable reasons again are the dealers are directly connected to the illegal stamp producers if not the illegal stamp
producers themselves!

Here we go again with the souvenir sheets with triangle shaped illegal stamps. These illegal stamp producers really don't have much imagination when
it comes to stamp production. Basically they are too lazy and probably don't have equipment to produce high quality unique stamp products. When
you compare any of these illegal stamps to genuine Madagascar stamps you can see a huge difference in quality as the illegal stamps are on
cheap paper, have cheap inferior gum and the images are cheap because they cannot produce detailed images like real stamps with their cheap equipment
and/or printers. This is why the designs are so similar over the years. They are too lazy to create new designs. Why should they when apparently
they are selling the junk in mass!
2015 Butterflies Illegal Stamp Souvenir Sheets

2015 Rowland Hill Penny Black Illegal Stamp Souvenir Sheet
2015 Submarines Illegal Stamp Souvenir Sheets
So...you think it is pretty bad now right? It is worse! All caused by your stamp leaders and experts turning a blind eye to the sellers
of this junk. Indeed it is very sad that such activity is allowed to go on in plain sight!
Remember the last years "heart" Flowers and Butterflies illegal stamps? They went all out crazy with them this time....
Combining them with their (sic) three stamp "new design" sheetlets.
