Time and time again..fake stamps of Persia/Iran.

     Yet again, another fake stamp offered for sale to take your money. I search for stamps daily. When you buy and sell stamps, you have too. As a seller you need to constantly have new material. You need to list 'new' items daily on whatever web site you sell/offer on. Rotating that stock, as you do in the retail market, should bring in some much need funds. The problem is, dont spend your funds on fake stamps. A fine example please of this can be seen below:

The stamp seen above is valid but the sideways surcharge kills it. Surcharges for persian stamps are not found sideways for this issue. The best part of this fake stamp is the fradulent use of a postmark. It's just off to the side so that you can't tell the date or town. What I like most is the 'potential' to make money. I often catch myself doing the same thing If I list 1000 stamps for 0.50 cents each and half of them sell, them I make money. Sadly, unless a specialized collector is looking for fake stamps, they wont sell. Most serious collectors have put in the work and know their 'area' of stamps. A knowledgable collector probably won't spend his/her hard earned money on fake stamps..

Good luck.
