NIGER ILLEGAL STAMPS
2020

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Niger Dating 2020

Flag of Niger

The following images are of illegal stamps produced for Niger. Please remember that the producers of these illegal stamps 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 Niger visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Niger section. Sadly because the system was not online until 2002, it does not help in identifying the early era illegal stamps. It does show from 2002 through 2010 what the official stamp issues were in accordance to what the postal authority said in the circular. One should not buy any other issues unless only paying pennies for them. Again, sadly, the country has gone "rouge" against all UPU guidelines for philatelic best practices in regards to stamp production and issuing. I for one would kick them out of the UPU if they continue on this path. The stamps produced to this day are not anything but made to profit from collectors and are 99% excessive of postal needs. This is why from 2011 to present time....none are listed there.

The Universal Postal Union WNS website

I have found the Colnect online catalog to be very helpful to verify legal stamp issues.

The Colnect Online Catalog for Niger

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 in showing all of the abusive Stamperija issues.

Here we go!

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates as well.
Most times now (2020) 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.

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.

2020

In 2020 the agency Stamperija appears to have stopped? As of June 10, 2020 there are no 2020 issues listed on their website. Did Niger finally put the "axe" to their contract? As of this date there are no listings for 2020 Niger stamp issues on eBay nor Delcampe.

In 2020 the Russian based dealers who I believe are also the producers continue. 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 on both sites 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. They are 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 shown to have happened with Niger on the 2013 abusive stamps page. 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.
I note that Stamperija knows who these people are and what is being produced. Yet even though they know, they are not warning anyone including the postal authorities of the countries this company is distributing counterfeits in the name of that are contracted by Stamperija.

Here is the site that Stamperija diverts you to when you search for "Niger post stamps". This might go away now. I have retained dated snapshots of it though so the proof is saved.

Niger Postage Stamps

You will see a link on the left for Illegal Stamps. Go to it and read the line at the bottom. It states:
"Currently we have no information about illegal Niger postage stamps."

Stamperija Webpage for Reporting Illegal Stamps for Niger Snapshot Taken 6-7-2020

This is a complete understatement and is stated 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 2020 in the name of Niger. 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!

Illegal Stamps Dating 2020 Disbursed by Topnimarka.com

In 2020 Topnimarka continuing to be emboldened by Niger and Stamperija and the UPU doing absolutely nothing to stop them, continue producing a massive number of souvenir sets that rivals the excessive production of abusive stamp issues Stamperija was doing.

THIS PAGE WILL CHANGE LATER AS THIS IS ONGOING

As of June 2020 they have already made 24 counterfeit illegal stamp souvenir sheet sets. This is ongoing at present and until this company is shut down, you can expect more sets to appear.

Noting in this year that many of the images on the 2020 sets are taken from sets from earlier years. The guy must not have that big of a database of images. Quite boring repetitive productions really.

Again I must state, just like the last four pages, this one page shows you even more the extent of damage that one criminal person or group of people can do to the philatelic market. This is why stricter laws, rules and enforcement need to be established against these types of criminal producers and their distributors in which to apprehend and bring them to justice no matter what country they reside in or run to when exposed.

In 2020 this company continues to produce unhindered! Expect to see more issues appear as these pages have been created in the middle of 2020!

New counterfeits have been massively produced since 2020. See Colnect to see the latest additions.
