CHEATING STAMPS v2.0 as directed by Pharlap Johnson
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just a quick note to those who are exceptionally dumb. The contents of
|
|
this file are about illegal things so if that turns you off then reset
|
|
your computer now! Stamp cheating is fraud and if you get caught then
|
|
you could be in real shit.....but if you do get caught then you are a
|
|
poor criminal. Always remember, if you can't do the time, then don't do
|
|
the crime!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Glue Method:
|
|
|
|
Cheating stamps is real easy and there are a few different ways of doing it.
|
|
Basically what you are trying to achieve, is to put something on the stamp
|
|
that can aid the removal of the post mark. The obvious thing to think of is
|
|
sellotape but sellotape looks very obvious so forget it now. More guys have
|
|
been caught using sellotape than anything else. The best thing to use is
|
|
GLUE! The sort of glue you want is paper glue and comes in the form of a pen
|
|
for easy application. All you do is cover your stamps with the glue and when
|
|
it dries it leaves a nice thin plastic coating. You should experiment around
|
|
so you can get the optimum layer of glue on your stamps. You neither want too
|
|
much glue which can look extremely obvious or too less glue in which case the
|
|
postmark, when stamped, will go straight through your plastic layer and mark
|
|
the stamp. Different brands of glue give totally different results. When I
|
|
started out I was using a poor brand of glue that was extremely obvious and
|
|
you needed to apply heaps of it to protect the stamp. New Zealanders are
|
|
advised to use Sprite Paper glue but you overseas guys will have to experiment
|
|
around to see what brands are best. So there we are, it is very simple. If
|
|
you should get caught then you must be a real idiot! It is so easy to do this
|
|
and get a perfect coat that is close to invisible. I reckon that you should
|
|
get about 10 uses out of each stamp and one cannot complain at that!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous tips:
|
|
|
|
- a lot of the time if you send a pack with defficient postage it will get
|
|
there safely anyway. A good example of this is I have about 10 Swedish
|
|
contacts and the amount of postage they put on similar sized packs varies
|
|
from 2.50 krone to 15 krone! That is a fair saving. Unfortunately some
|
|
Post Offices are strict and won't let stuff with a large amount of
|
|
defficient postage go the service that is required ie they may send it
|
|
surface mail instead if air-mail.
|
|
- If you are not gluing your stamps then place them all over the envelope.
|
|
Post Office workers usually cannot be bothered stamping about 10 different
|
|
stamps and will probably just postmark a couple of them.
|
|
- Always look closely at stamps that you receive. Sometimes, like above the
|
|
Post Office will miss postmarking a couple of them or alternatively they
|
|
will only catch the corner of it. This is good becuase if just the corner
|
|
has been nicked then you can reuse the stamp. Either rip off the corner or
|
|
carefully when putting stamps on envelope/package, lay another stamp just
|
|
over the postmark to cover it up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Ultimate:
|
|
|
|
The ulitmate thing to be able to do is soak used, postmarked stamps in a
|
|
solution that gets rid of the postmark but leaves the stamp in perfect
|
|
condition. I know that this has been done and an English guy was caught doing
|
|
it in late '89. Just imagine the endless possibilities! There is another
|
|
method that can be done and is what we use but that is top secret and I only
|
|
tell my close friends. Happy cheating and catch you on the Banana!
