UGANDA ILLEGAL STAMPS
2012

Information and Reference of illegal stamps for Uganda Dating 2012

Flag of Uganda

In 2012 Uganda signed a contract with the stamp agency Stamperija. Little did they know apparently that this company would mass produce numerous sets of topical issues unrelated to the country using the same topics as the illegal stamp producers have, were and are using.
The sales on eBay jump from 25 offerings for 2011 Uganda issues to over 200 offerings for 2012 Uganda issues. On Delcampe they jump from 24 offerings to a whopping 984 offerings! This again is yet another example of the abusive stamps problem. This problem with this company continued through 2014 when apparently Uganda said enough is enough and forced the company to stop the abuse.

I and others have several "beefs" with Stamperija. The first is the fact that even though they no longer have any official contracts with Uganda, they continue to run their webpages stating they are the "official" stamp agent for Uganda. Here is a link taken on August 8, 2020 from a Google search for "Uganda Post Stamps".

Stamperija Uganda Postage Stamps webpage

You will hit this page in searches for "Uganda Official Stamps" and other search terms as well. This page is designed to basically "hijack" unknowing collectors and visitors into thinking this is the official Uganda post website. THIS is the official website.

Uganda Official Post webpage

The statement "You have entered the official website of Uganda postage stamps" can throw many people off on what it really is. Just a place for the company to promote ONLY its own abusive stamps.

The second and most important (at least to me) problem with this company is its linked "Illegal Stamps" page which denies the existence of any Uganda illegal stamps existing. Here is a snapshot taken on August 8, 2020.

Stamperija Webpage for Reporting Illegal Stamps for Uganda Snapshot Taken 8-8-2020

You can see it states:
"Currently we have received no information about Uganda illegal postage stamps."

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.

Moving on!

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

You should therefore use a respectable catalog like Scott or Stanley Gibbons. Do not listen to these dealers trying to convince you the following displayed stamps are something other than counterfeit illegal stamps.

To find out what stamps are real and legitimate for Uganda visit the UPU WNS website and look at the Uganda section. Uganda has posted every official stamp they have issued since the WNS system was created in 2002.

The Universal Postal Union WNS website

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

Some of the illegal stamps are shown in their Cinderella section and noted as Cinderella. This is a major error as they are not Cinderella stamps by any circumstance. The only counterfeits they show are for some of the illegal stamps dating 2016. There are many more as you will see.

Here we go!

Many of the following illegal stamps can be found as imperforates. Some exist on fake First Day Covers too.
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.

2012

In 2012 more illegal stamps were produced in the name of Uganda. The producer(s) are in Eastern Europe. The diversity of their connected distributors becomes apparent in the sales of them by different bad stamp dealers. I will list these dealers by their user names past and present with the sets that are presented. Because these dealers sell counterfeit illegal stamps like these and in the name of other countries the advise is to avoid buying anything from them. Some are "big" stamp dealers with supposed "impeccable" reputations. It does not matter who they are, if they sell illegal stamps knowingly or unknowingly they are are not dealers to be trusted because they sell them. Therefore avoid them and if you like....let them know why you are avoiding them.

Finally this last set which is and has been extensively sold. The topic is on Old Sailing Ships. The culprits selling it or pieces from it are:

collect4all located in the Netherlands
marp located in the Netherlands
Stamps_and_More located in the Netherlands is currently pushing them on Delcampe
europol-stamps on eBay located in the Netherlands and currently pushing them

We can thus see the heart of these criminally produced and sold counterfeit illegal stamps is....the Netherlands. This is just a taste of these criminal dealers activities.

Between 2013 and 2015 a number of counterfeit illegal stamp set were made but most were made by Topnimarka in 2016 and back dated for those years. I will present them on the next page which I will call the 2015 page. It shows once again how Stamperija had control over these criminal producers in stopping them from producing illegal stamps in the name of countries that Stamperija obtained contracts with during the time those contracts ran.
