And incredibly, they acted within a day, took the item down and advised the seller. I know it's tedious, but it's worth your time to report them.

Nice work. I wonder whether you might have used a magic word or words that triggered a human review. I'm thinking "defraud," or perhaps "government."

I think they're magic words, at least this time!

I have a handful of Chinese fakes on my desk. One or two a week comes in the mail. The money that they raise selling these counterfeits is used to finance their spy operations here in the U.S., I believe. Apparently, the U.S. Secret Service doesn't seem to care anymore.

I don't have a scanner 1899. The dead give away, though, are the crooked 2's in the microprinted date for 2023 and 24. USPS printings are always straight and the bottom lines of the 2's always consist of either 2 large microdots or 5 smaller ones. It's hard to tell how many dots make up the bottoms of the 2's on the China fakes. They are hard to distinguish. If you like, I'll mail a couple of each to you. Let me know. Don't worry, plenty more are on the way.

I have seen return address and other labels with better designs and print quality so the USPS is just opening itself to counterfeiting. And we know from many years experience, people will buy them even if they are fake or "bootleg" .
Back in the 70's, I recall a stamp dealer offered us 100 envelopes with postage attached. I am sure the stamps had been used and soaked off and reused,
