BURKINA FASO ILLEGAL STAMPS
2017

Information and reference of illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso dating 2017

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.

The Stampworld Online Catalog for Burkina Faso

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!

2017

It appears that in 2017 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.

As stated on the 2016 page this criminal got worse in producing counterfeit stamps in the name of Burkina Faso in 2017. For 2017 sets in the name of Burkina Faso I have found that 16 sets were back dated. They have produced 57 different sets dating 2017 and could add more at any time. Avoid them all!

2017 Nicholas II Souvenir Sheet of 4

This is a very messed up fake counterfeit set. The criminal dealer states they are 2018 issues yet the souvenir sheet of 4 clearly is inscribed on the bottom two "stamps" with the year 2017. The top two are not inscribed with a year at all. A number of the single "stamp" souvenir sheets have the country name and year double printed. A real professional producer/dealer here not noticing all that yes?
The time the counterfeit set was made was right between 2017 and 2018. So which year was it? Because of this I will post it on the 2018 page as well.
One thing I have learned about these kind of people is that their greed and laziness is extreme. They will produce these fake stamps with gross errors like this and still try to sell them hoping buyers won't notice their negligent attitude. I can assure you that the ones who sell both illegal stamps and real stamps have the same neglect in both categories. Not caring about faults and defects with the only intent being to rip you off! Avoid!

You have to wonder, if this is such a wonderful philosophy and society, why would it breed criminals like the one making and selling these
counterfeit illegal stamps?!?

There are two sets that fall outside the Topnimarka realm that exist. They are being sold by spectre-stamps. It is possible and probable that Topnimarka is the producer and has given "exclusive rights" to spectre-stamps to sell them. Either way they are counterfeit and should be avoided.

You can see that because the UPU and the member countries have sat on their hands for decades on the problem of illegal stamps that we now have a massive problem with them throughout the world. Criminal producers and dealers of these counterfeit stamps past and present will continue to plague the philatelic market and many other associated markets until the countries unite and take meaningful legal action to end their criminal careers. It really is a simple case of the victimized countries like Burkina Faso uniting and taking direct legal action against these criminals in their places of residence. In a united front against the criminals, there is no way the countries can lose the cases. The evidence of who they are and to convict them is easily found everywhere. All they have to do....is look on the internet.

For 2018 the production of counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso gets worse than ever!
