Reports suggest a rise in complaints that stamps bought from legitimate stores are being deemed counterfeit. Anyone who receives a letter with a fake stamp is charged £5 by Royal Mail.
Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith told BBC Breakfast: “China is behind it.”
A Royal Mail spokesman said: “We are working hard to remove counterfeit stamps from circulation.”
Consumers are being warned to look out for strange perforations around the edge of a stamp, a shine to the surface or the colour looking off.
So to really annoy some people I just have to send them some letters with fake stamps so that they have to pay £5 for each one?
I think you can always reject an incoming letter.
Who buys stamps anymore? Just go in and get them to print a label. They aren’t scary, have a human interaction for once.
Yeah, China’s also behind all the postmasters who were knowingly charged with theft for software bugs. Damn them Chinese!
Edit: Shame on me for thinking this was sufficiently blatant sarcasm
But what about…
