Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Mozambique made in 2007

In 2007 Stamperija gains the contract to print stamps for Mozambique. Again we see a dramatic rise in the number of sets produced. It is in this year that Montero goes "all out" in production of counterfeit with the theme "History of the XXI Century". As I stated on the introduction, the WNS system is short on what is real. Unfortunately they stopped listing the stamps of Mozambique in 2006 and have nothing from that time forward.

I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful. Sadly because of the glut of abusive issues it is a pain to go through all the pages.

Check out their Illegal Stamp section as well. It is upgraded as of 2023 and shows counterfeits that may be missing here.

I have found the Stampworld.com Catalog to be very helpful as well but there are problems. Again, because of the abuse many of the pages are extremely long. They are listing some of the illegal stamps there as if they are ok simply because one rouge catalog continues to list them. The 2004 (which they list as a 2006) EUROPA "issue" for one.

Again, I say the major catalogs should stick with the rules they portray in not listing abusive, overproduced stamps that have no evidence of postal usage. Sadly in the recent years they are breaking their own rules and ethics by listing them. At the rate Stamperija is going, Scott catalog will have to add another catalog just to cover them! Shame on the editors for bowing down to abusive stamp agencies. More than likely their are some "bad apples" within the editing departments who are getting kickbacks for getting the garbage listed!

Here we go!

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates and as color proof sets as well. Many exist on fake First Day Covers too.
Most times now (2022) 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 experts and savvy collectors.

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.

2007

In 2007 Mr. Montero has another "series" on the topic of "History of the XXI Century" made. This time producing Fake First Day Covers with them! As shown on the previous pages this theme was developed by Montero as he admits to it in his bogus "Corruption" article. None of them are listed in any catalog. Major sales and offers of them are of course being made by "yours truly" and crew on Hipstamp. Avoid!

Oh, and thanks for the images!

I leave the Delcampe frames on this one just to prove who the original seller of these counterfeits is. Now the user artstamps on Hipstamp as this account was shut down long ago for selling counterfeits.

In 2008 Montero put a few more counterfeits on the market and one of them is denounced in a UPU Circular. Also another counterfeit producer tries his hand at Mozambique.
