Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Mozambique dating in 2022

It is the beginning of March in 2022 as I start this page. As stated on the previous page, Mozambique is shutting down their postal system. I have noticed Stamperija is listing "new" issues for Mozambique in 2022. All of them are dated 2021. These listings are coming out in February of 2022. This shows us Stamperija is producing stamps after 2021 and back dating them to look as if they came out in 2021. The same tactics that criminal counterfeiters like topnimarka do. Why not? None of them are used in Mozambique. This is one of many reasons it is recommended not to buy any stamps produced in the name of Mozambique from 2007 forward. It is guaranteed o be a bad investment.

On the 2016 page I show and explain why Stamperija appears not only to be collaborating with the illegal stamp producers, but also "covering up" for them as well with bogus webpages designed to divert from what they really are and claiming no knowledge of the existence of illegal stamps. Aside from the fact that they run these pages even after losing the contract with a specific country acting as if they are the "official" representative of that countries postal system when in fact they are not! I am sure this will happen with Mozambique as well.

Stamperija Lie in Regards to Illegal Stamp Awareness for Mozambique


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.

2022

In 2022 as stated, Stamperija continues production of abusive stamps in the name of Mozambique so far dating them all as 2021 issues. Topnimarka virtually stops production of the counterfeits in this year (at least through February) most likely due to the pandemic.

There are no listings for any stamps dating 2022 for Mozambique anywhere as of March 4, 2022. If it is as Mozambique has stated in regards to the shutdown of the postal system, then there should be nothing listed in regards to "stamps" for this country this year. 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 dating 2022 in the name of Mozambique. 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!

So far they have produced only one set. We will be watching them closely.
