    Ok so I receive a letter with a fake stamp which I did not purchase, and I’m gonna be fined for it? How the fuck does that work?

    Tell you what, I’ll buy a fuck load of them for 4p each and send a bunch of mail to people I don’t like to bankrupt them with fines.

    Oh and the “Buy your stamps from the Post Office and you can claim they breached contract” but means I have to keep receipts for all my stamp purchases in case someone I’ve sent mail to gets fined?

    Ah, email, where none of this matters.

      As far as I know stamps and stamps books aren’t paired to a receipt, so it wouldn’t be possible to trace which stamps related to which purchase.

      If you receive a letter with a fake stamp I think you can refuse the fine but don’t then get the letter. Same as if someone hasn’t put enough stamps on something.

      Yes, next week the police reveal that they will put YOU in prison if you get robbed.
