EGYPT ILLEGAL STAMPS
2018

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Egypt

On December 4, 2017 the National Post Organization for Egypt by request to Jean-Alexandre Ducrest (Director of Logistics) posted to the Universal Postal Union a circular warning of the discovery of a number of illegal stamps created with their country name that are on the market. The circular is number 157. You can view the circular in its entirety in the PDF file I have linked here.

UPU Circular Number 157

The circular describes and shows examples of several souvenir sheets recently produced. The circular is very incomplete in my opinion and the UPU representative could easily have found that there is much more than just a single souvenir sheet in the counterfeit sets and that there are numerous more counterfeit illegal stamps that were produced before the time of the issuing of the circular.

The following images are of illegal stamps produced for Egypt. 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.

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

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

I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be very helpful 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 the styles and designs of the following illegal stamps completely different.

Here we go!

In 2015 the Russian based dealers who I believe are also the producers appear. The company is called Topnimarka.com located in Moscow Russia. The user name was kir30kirill on eBay who since November 2019 has been kicked off for selling nothing but counterfeit illegal stamps! Everything they are selling is fake and counterfeit stamps. They are of pure evil and were not listing on eBay by country name to avoid detection and 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. They are even producing fake stamps for countries controlled by Stamperija. Stamperija's owner has stated that he knows who most of the counterfeit producers are and has some control over stopping their productions at least for countries he has contracts with. This is not the case for this producer. Being located in Russia, I guess they believe that nobody can stop them. I am exposing them which is the first step.....

All of the counterfeit stamps that follow were produced and are being sold by this company right now.

All of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates.
Many times now (2020) the souvenir sheet sets are separated and are sold individually. Many times the stamps have been removed from the souvenir sheets. All of these "tactics" are used to avoid detection by UPU circular descriptions and/or experts like myself.

Sellers that call these "private", "locals", "Cinderella's", "unauthorized" are deceiving you. They are counterfeit 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.

2018

These sets were produced after circular 157 was published. It shows that the circulars are definitely not enough to stop the criminal producers from producing counterfeit illegal stamps. Even though this distributor and probable producer is known and we have all the information as to who they are and where they are located, they continue to massively produce counterfeit stamps in the name of many UPU member countries. The Russian representatives within the UPU should be shamed for allowing this to continue in their own country let alone right in their own capital!

Did the circular stop the producer? Definitely not in 2018! I note the dealer has no 2019 counterfeit listings unlike they do with many other countries.
