Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Tanzania Dating 2014 and 2015

To find out somewhat what stamps are real and legitimate for Tanzania you can visit the online catalogs linked below. One should not buy most issues later than the year 1985 unless only paying pennies for them. Issues between 1985 and 2017 should be purchased only after a thorough amount of research is done on the issue(s) of interest. The majority of stamps produced between those years are not anything but made to profit from collectors and are 99% excessive of postal needs.

First, here is a link to the Tanzania Posts Corporation "Posta Let's Go!" website where you can see the year sets they offer. You will see that the stamps offered are generally the non-abusive issues and it is a useful guide to go by in regards to weeding out all the abusive issues made by IGPC.

Although extremely incomplete and in my opinion for the Tanzania issues, "corrupted", here is the link to the WNS System search page.

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

Some of the illegal stamps are shown in their Cinderella section and noted as such. Still nothing close to what is out there as you will see. The 1976 Railway imperforate souvenir sheet is not a Cinderella as it is simply a "proof" of the issued souvenir sheet Scott Number 65a.

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 2015 in the name of Tanzania. 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!

We can see that most of the topics used in these earlier years are on topics of a Russian nature. Although inscribed in English they are obviously targeting Russian collecting victims. The people of Russia should demand that a criminal like this be taken down. This criminals profits are basically all from sales of counterfeit goods. Using the barriers of knowledge that restrict Russian collectors from knowing what African countries actually issued, this criminal has now ripped off thousands of collectors worldwide. To top it off, this clowns business is right in the heart of Moscow! Not a good way to represent a country that wishes to portray itself as a country that should lead the rest of the world is it? Allowing criminals like this a free pass to wreak havoc on the stamp market!

In 2016 topnimarka increases production of counterfeit illegal stamps in the name of Tanzania.
