Following the 2nd An Post price increase in 10 months I did a bulk order of stamps. Got some of the 100th anniversary Ulysses stamps and then a mix of the 2021 special editions as no other new 2022 stamps yet.

It has USPS logos and banners, but the site ends in .com instead of .gov Hmmmmā¦ Edit: I think the USPS website is a .com, now that I think about it. Isnāt it? But this is definitely a separate website? So Iām still not sure. Have you used them successfully before?

Good idea! I removed the website from the quotes in mine. We can add it back in later if it turns out to be legitimate.

PayPal investigated and sent me a full refund less than 24 hours later. I can only assume it was a Stamp Scam !!!
Next step: reporting the site to the US Postal Inspection Services when they open in the morning.

That site has disappeared... It does look like it wasn't legit. Edit - helped if I spelled the link correctly.

Bought some Inverted Jenny stamps, a sheet of Yogi Berra stamps, and some $1 stamps at usps.com yesterday. Although the Inverted Jenny stamps are more than needed for international letters, the extra money helps the Post Office, and I like the way they look on Pineider Par Avion blue stationery.

The āscamā site is still up. And the order I made just arrived. They look legit, of course, but wondering if the post office could verify them for meā¦

>I donāt have the correct UV wavelength light to test them. I wonder if the post office would be willing/able to confirm if they're valid, depending if you bought enough for it to be worth the trouble.
