MUTUMBA ILLEGAL STAMPS

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Mutumba

In the research on counterfeit illegal stamps made in the name of Burundi, it is known that a set was produced in 2017 in the name of Mutumba.

The commune of Mutumba is a commune of Karuzi Province in central Burundi south of Bujumbura. There are no real stamps inscribed with the name. All postal services and mailings use Burundi stamps. The illegal stamps made in the name of Mutumba were produced by what appears to be once again the British producer. They are being sold in the past and present by Eastern European dealers and even an American con.

At present the sellers on eBay are:

misha554 located in the USA
topaia75 located in Italy

On Delcampe:

No sales at present as of April 2022.

Sales on Delcampe in the past:

atmos located in the Netherlands
dimonkaras located in Belarus

Only the rat atmos remains on Delcampe and continues selling counterfeit stamps. They need to get rid of the criminal seller.

There are no catalog listings for any stamp inscribed Mutumba. The Colnect catalog list the following as "Cinderella" stamps and verifies some were illegally produced. The site is not consistent in that it describes one counterfeit sheet as illegally produced but the next one states it to be a "Cinderella". They are not Cinderella stamps.

I note the con dealer topaia75 on eBay has broken the counterfeit stamps from the sheet trying to evade detection. Avoid! Also I have seen sellers on eBay like mapka666 located in Russia selling bulk lots of these counterfeits. Fortunately, because of sanctions due to the war in Ukraine, these kind of sellers are now gone at least for now in 2022.

Also noting the criminal dealers like dimonkaras who was kicked off Delcampe long ago for selling counterfeit stamps are currently selling on a Russian site called www.ay.by which is a totally insecure site that should be avoided. It is massively filled with counterfeit goods and these sellers located in Belarus are primary sellers there. They leach off unknowing collectors there. Apparently collectors in Russia and surrounding areas who have been victimized by these type of con stamp dealers for decades, have no idea what these rip off artists are doing to them.

Are there others made in the name of Mutumba? Possibly there are. These just give you the knowledge of what to be wary of at present times.
Avoid any "stamp" inscribed Mutumba as all are counterfeit illegal stamps. Sellers like the above should also be avoided like the plague.
