Half priced stamps work though, and nobody is going to prosecute grandma for counterfeiting postage stamps.

- zeafoamrun 2mo agoYes they do. USPIS does not f around
- Pxtl 2mo agoOddly they don't ever seem to prosecute the sites that profit from selling them. Funny, that.
- kube-system 2mo agoMakes sense to me, the only place I've ever seen them personally advertised are overseas websites.
- Terr_ 2mo agoIt doesn't seem too weird to me: Selling someone fake stamps is a general act of fraud, between buyer and seller, and would be pursued by state/federal attorneys general. The USPS becomes directly involved only later, when someone tries to defraud them by using a fake stamp.
- floam 2mo agoThey are unable to do much. Look, their systems cannot distinguish them - not since the crooks figured out the phosphor tags. They aren’t detecting any during the course of business. There are no prosecutions of “duped cobsumers” buying cheap stamps claiming to be real online as far as I can find.
