BURKINA FASO ILLEGAL STAMPS
2016

Information and reference of illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso dating 2016

Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) has never requested to have a UPU Circular made describing illegal stamps in their county name. This is because until recent years it appears no counterfeit illegal stamps were made. Sadly in 2015 that has all changed and now Burkina Faso is yet another country being victimized by ruthless counterfeit illegal stamp producers and their associated criminal stamp dealers.

To find out what stamps are real and legitimate for Burkina Faso visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Burkina Faso section.

The Universal Postal Union WNS website

I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful as well.

The Colnect Online Catalog for Burkina Faso

Many of the illegal stamps are shown in their Illegal Stamps section and noted as such.

I have also found the Stampworld online catalog to be very useful as well.

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. You will find that Burkina Faso from 2000 to present time is a very conservative stamp issuing entity.

All imaged illegal stamps are proven to be just that because they are not listed on the WNS site nor any catalog or other site either.

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates. Many exist with fake cancels (CTO).
Most times now (2021) 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 experts.

Sellers that call these "private", "locals", "Cinderella's", "unauthorized" are deceiving you. They are illegal stamps produced by a stamp dealer that is bent on ripping you off! Some sellers state "we offer them because they are on the market". Well how about you use a different dealer because that seller is "on the market"? If the stamp societies, auction sites and all other venues kicked these sellers off of their sites then they would have to comply or lose their ability to sell anything.

The following images are free for the use of all to use to alert the public to them. If anyone wants to make a public list of users on eBay, Delcampe and elsewhere who are selling these issues....fine by me since the UPU, PWMO and others appear to have given up or have not been updated in years.

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.

Here we go!

2016

It appears that in 2016 no other illegal stamp producing entity except one made illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso.

In 2015 the Russian based dealers who I believe are also the producers appear. The company is called Topnimarka.com located in Moscow Russia.
They have created a new website called stamps-world.eu as well in 2019. Everything they are selling is fake and counterfeit stamps.
They are mass producing counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of many countries. The "styles" unique to themselves, these people are producing and selling counterfeit stamps at a massive rate dating to current times.

The Russian based company has produced the following counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso. They are not commonly seen on the main stamp market because we are fighting for you to keep them off the main market. Should this company be allowed to run accounts on the main stamp venues like eBay and Delcampe, you will see a new flood of illegal stamps worse than ever seen before. This company is consistently trying to create new accounts on the venues to move them into the main stream market. Should you see them on sites like eBay and Delcampe, you can report them to me and I can assure you that they will not be there long!

It is in 2016 that this criminal actually started producing illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso. The company did not come online until 2015. They did not produce any counterfeits in the name of Burkina Faso until 2016 yet, as shown on the introduction page for Burkina Faso illegal stamps, numerous sets were created and back dated.

For 2016 sets in the name of Burkina Faso I have found that 7 sets were back dated. They have produced 21 different sets dating 2016 and could add more at any time. Avoid them all!

2016 Baseball Souvenir Sheet of 4

This counterfeit set was produced in 2018 and back dated 2016. It was never on the market until 2018.

You will notice on these pages sets without the set of single stamp souvenir sheets. I have been told by other sources that this criminal dealer will create new counterfeits on requested topics. In other words, a customer asks him if he knows of any stamps with a particular topic such as a certain car or plane on it. Within a month or two this dealer will suddenly say he has found it after creating a new counterfeit set with the requested topic in it. Many being the sets that have no single stamp souvenir sheets included.
This dealer sometimes will then create more sets on the same topic using different country names on them, hoping that customer will buy them as well. This is probably one such set using the topic of Baseball depicting images of certain baseball players.

2016 Battle for Moscow Souvenir Sheet of 4

You will see that many sets produced by this counterfeiter relate to Russian topics. This is mainly because the criminal targets Russian topical collectors who collect topics on the World Wars, Russian Athletes, Stalin and Lenin and so forth. Thousands of Russian stamp collectors have already been ripped off by this guy and it continues to this day in 2021. The criminals have a shop right in the middle of Moscow! The whole Russian stamp collecting community should be deeply offended by this and take this company out!

This counterfeit set was produced in 2018 and back dated 2016. It was never on the market until 2018.

The souvenir sheets are inscribed "Turin Olympiad 2006" which can be confusing as in searches on Google the Turin Chess Olympiad in 2006 also in Turin overrides a search for the Olympic Games.

The souvenir sheets do not have any inscriptions for snowboarding yet all the imaged female athletes are snowboard champions and other images show it is for the snowboarding events.
