BURKINA FASO ILLEGAL STAMPS
2018

Information and reference of illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso dating 2018

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.

The Colnect Online Catalog Illegal Stamp Section for Burkina Faso

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!

2018

It appears that in 2018 no other illegal stamp producing entity except one made illegal stamps in the name of Burkina Faso.

Illegal Stamps in the name of Burkina Faso Being Disbursed by Topnimarka.com

topnimarka.com Филателистический салон а также stamps-world.eu

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 2017 page this criminal got even worse in producing counterfeit stamps in the name of Burkina Faso in 2018. I note the use of the "photoshop" edited versions is prominent in the 2018 counterfeit issues. Numerous topics are duplicated in different styles thus an all out assault on collectors. For 2018 sets in the name of Burkina Faso I have found that 8 sets were back dated. They have produced 77 different sets dating 2018 and could add more at any time. Avoid them all!

2018 Bridges of the World Souvenir Sheet of 4

Of course these bridges are all located in St. Petersburg in Russia which is misspelled "St. Peterburg". It seems this clown only knows how to hit one "effects" choice in his little photoshop program thus making some of the ugliest counterfeit stamps on the internet.

2018 Cars Souvenir Sheet of 4

As explained on other pages this producer gets inquiries from customers sometimes if he knows of any stamps with a certain car or train or other topic on them. Magically he will suddenly "find" the requested item which in reality he produces himself. Sets like this one without the set of souvenir sheets of one are in some cases these made by request counterfeits. Sources have informed me that the images are stolen from online sources and then he uses his little photoshop program to alter them. It is a waste of time and money for a collector to buy this trash.

I found these counterfeit illegal stamps were being sold by Topnimarka as user kir30kirill on eBay in early 2020 before the user was kicked off for selling counterfeits. Probably the next set was there as well. The dealer was very deceptive in not using country names of origin nor year dates in his title. Specifically targeting topical collector victims. The dealer was running over 4000 sales at the time with a sales income of over $7,000.00 a month! That was just on eBay! Yet the UPU doesn't think there is a major problem in the stamp market. This is just one dealer!

2018 Nicholas II Souvenir Sheet of 4

I already showed this counterfeit set on the 2017 page.
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 have posted it on the 2017 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!

Olympic Games Topic

For 2018 the criminal producer made numerous counterfeit sets falsely claiming to come from Burkina Faso on the topic of the Olympic Games past and future. They should all be avoided.

A major point you should have already noticed is the criminal producers stagnate propagandizing of Russia this and Russia that. From Russian athletes to Russian military figures and history and of course Stalin, Stalin, Stalin. It is like the clown is stuck back in the 50's. Apparently he has no idea that the countries he portrays the counterfeits to be made from have absolutely no interest in his Russian propaganda nor does 95% of stamp collectors out there as well. If they do....they collect real Russian stamps that were made during the time period. Not this fake junk.

Numerous counterfeit souvenir sheet that were made in 2018 and not listed on the Topnimarka site are out there. Mainly being sold by the dealer spectre-stamps. Every one of them are being offered as if they were made in 2020, even though it is proven they were not. All of them do not have a year inscribed on the counterfeit stamps enabling criminal stamp dealers to lie about the year of creation to try to avoid detection and deceive unknowing collectors. Because this dealer (and others) is doing just that, I have listed them at the lower part of the 2020 page. This one set for some reason is not being lied about. Probably because it relates to the year. Visit the 2020 page to see the rest.

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 2019 the production of counterfeit illegal stamps by Topnimarka in the name of Burkina Faso continues and one of the Eastern European counterfeiters joins in!
