DJIBOUTI ILLEGAL STAMPS
2019
Stamperija in Control?
Information and Reference of Illegal Stamps for Djibouti Created in 2019
The following images are of illegal stamps produced for Djibouti. Please remember that the producers of these illegals are not only greedy,
they are crude and sometimes disgusting which is the nature of these people.
Djibouti stopped reporting their official stamp issues to the WNS system in 2009. The reason why is unknown. Possibly because they were
seeing that it was having no effect against the onslaught of illegal stamps being produced in their countries name. Whatever the reasons were,
from 2009 onward the WNS system has no reference to follow.
I have found the Colnect online catalog to be helpful.
The Colnect Online Catalog for Djibouti
Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is far from complete but will help you verify many as well.
The Colnect Online Catalog for Djibouti Illegal Stamps
I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be helpful as well.
The Stampworld Online Catalog for Djibouti
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.
In 2004 when Djibouti produced circular 226 they did not know that there were more illegal stamps that were being circulated than what they listed.
This has occurred for many of the victim countries. To correct it I have researched them all using the major catalog listings and the WNS system as
reference to what was officially issued.
Here we go!
Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and as color proof sets as well. Some exist on fake First Day Covers too.
Most times now (2019) the souvenir sheet sets and sheetlet sets are sold individually. Many times the stamps have been removed from the sheetlets
and souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions and search terms.
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.
2019
In 2016 the stamp agency Stamperija took over control of Djibouti's stamp contract.
The owner of the company is Algirdas Satas. He was the owner of Conquest Trading company located in Lithuania. It is alleged that he was
one of the distributer/producers of illegal stamps back in 2002. I state "alleged" because as is
with all the people involved in the illegal stamp trade, the evidence and proof is mostly found in what these people sell.
An article was written in 2002 in part stating Algirdas was heavily involved in the illegal stamp trade. The article is stated to be written by a
J.M. Chute. This was a fictitious name given to protect the sources of the article. The article has since been removed from it's original sources
most likely due to the illegal stamp producers and distributors not liking their names openly published on the internet. We have since preserved
the article in the internet archive where they will never be able to have it removed again. You can read the article and judge for yourself
the merit. Here is the link.
Illegal Stamps Philately Rough Trade Article
I tend to disagree with the stamp issuing policies of Stamperija because they overproduce stamps in such a degree it is ridiculous! Djibouti is a prime example
of it. Throughout the existence of the country their stamp policies have been very conservative. As the pages show they had only one or two official
issues made every year or two.
In 2019 the agency Stamperija continues to pump out abusive stamp sets in the name of Djibouti. In a search on eBay in present time (2020) over
725 listings are currently running of these abusive issues dating 2019. On Delcampe over 4,000 listings of which almost all are these abusive issues is
running! The majority on both sites being offered by a small group of dealers associated with the agency. Several are also notorious illegal
stamp dealers. The number of stamp sets produced by this agency in 2019 according to the Stampworld online catalog was a staggering 198 different
souvenir sheets and stamps! Most of them common topics geared toward topical collectors having nothing to do with the culture or heritage of Djibouti.
Divide them up to individual stamps, (nearly half the souvenir sheets having four stamps on them), you come up with over 500 individual stamps again!
This is completely ridiculous. This is for a country with a population of less than 1 million people in 2018. The majority never using the postal system for anything.
This is why they are called "abusive stamps" and this is why this company is considered by the UPU not a good option for any country to use as an agent.
Continued listing of the issues by Scott catalog is not helping to curb this.
I continue to have one other "beef" with this stamp agent. In regards to illegal stamps this agent does not even try to alert the public nor Djibouti to
the fact that tons of illegal stamps exist and are being produced massively through 2020 despite this agencies contracts with Djibouti.
The owner knows full well that they are being produced but as of July 2020 states nothing and literally denies the problem exists!
Here is the site that Stamperija diverts you to when you search for "Djibouti postage stamps"
Djibouti Postage Stamps
You will see a link on the top left for Illegal Stamps. Go to it and read the line at the bottom. It states:
"Currently there is no information about fake Djibouti's postage stamps."
This is a complete understatement and is stated in some form on every country page like this that this agency runs contracts with. The owner knows fully about them.
The explanation of what the illegal stamps are is also fully worded to divert what illegal stamps are. They are counterfeit stamps and nothing
this stamp dealer owned company or any other stamp dealer states to the contrary is to be believed as you can see they all want the term counterfeit
to be avoided at all costs because the selling of counterfeit goods is a crime in any country and thus a punishable offense that can be
used to stop the production and sale of them permanently.
The Russian based company has produced the following counterfeit illegal stamps dating 2019 in the name of Djibouti. 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!

In 2019 Topnimarka continuing to be emboldened by Djibouti and Stamperija and the UPU doing absolutely nothing to stop them, produce another
massive number of souvenir sets that rivals the excessive production of abusive stamp issues Stamperija is doing. This status can change at any time as we have
discovered the "company" has and will create new illegal stamp sets and "back-date" them as if made in prior years.
I note them as such and tell you when they were really created.
As of July 2020 they have made 57 counterfeit illegal stamp souvenir sheet sets dating 2019. They have created 2 of those sets after 2019
and back dated them by inscribing them with the year 2019. This 39 year old clown needs to be stopped. On his new website "Stamps World" he states
"We started dealing stamps, their sale and collecting more than 20 years ago and we are one of the largest dealers in Europe, America,
Asia and Africa.". That would mean he started dealing when he was 19. Guarantee they are "one of the largest" counterfeit illegal stamp dealers
in RUSSIA and that is all he is. This criminal needs to be dealt with and both sites removed....permanently.
In 2019 when I created this page it was unknown just how bad and evil this company really is. At that time we had only obtained images of sets
this criminal was offering on eBay at that time and did not know who the source was. Through research and "tips" from various sources I was able
to find out who and where these counterfeit illegal stamps were coming from. In the original presentation of this page only 20 of the 56 sets
were shown. I now have images of all the sets and you will see that this producer/distributor is still massively producing illegal stamps.
How many Russian victims have been ripped off by this clown? He needs to be run out of Moscow on a rail!
Noting many of the sets starting in 2016 produced by this criminal are inscribed "Djibounti". In 2019 it appears that he stopped this on most sets.
It does not matter, they are still counterfeit illegal stamps no matter what these criminals try to portray them as. These "tactics" do not alter that fact.
In 2019 this "company" produced numerous counterfeit sets on the topic of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. When I first created this page
only two of the sets were known to exist. Since then I have discovered the criminal producer has made four sets of which one set is huge!

Some sets like this one are only being offered without the souvenir sheets of 1. I have found the counterfeit producer has made numerous sets like
this which tend to be "made to order" sets. In other words, a customer may request if this criminal dealer knows of any stamps that exist with a specific
sports figure or team or type or model of automobile on it which does not exist on any real stamps from any country in the world.
This criminal will find images of it or them on the internet and then put the image(s) on a set like this one within a month of the request and
sell it to that customer stating "I found one!" as if the stamp actually existed. There is full evidence of this activity that has been retained
from emailed request and conversation to the final purchase of the counterfeits that were produced.
BEWARE!!

Here we go with the Stalin and Lenin garbage again. This criminal consistently produces counterfeit sets on the topic every year,
over and over, country after country as if he thinks he is brainwashing people through fake stamps into following his narrow minded belief that these
two characters are some kind of gods. The majority of the world despises their dictatorial rule that suppressed free thought and speech just as stamp collectors
and real stamp dealers despise criminal counterfeit stamp producers and distributors like this who cannot make a living selling real stamps.

You can all see the criminal producer has become worse for Djibouti. They are selling these sets at $25.00 each! The user is now kicked off eBay. Yet this producer
will continue to produce these counterfeit stamps until legal action is taken.....in Russia.
