The Post Office are becoming very adept at fraud even though we will bust them for it . They appear to have no humility though , thoroughly unpleasant people !
The interviewer seems to think Royal Mail and The Post Office are the same. They're not. The Post Office is owned by the government (publicly), Royal Mail is privately owned.
They are both run by the same type of person. They are also very intertwined, they cannot operate without the other. In addition a lot of the so called fake stamps are being purchased from the Post Office.
use of a non barcoded stamp is £2.50. The fine for a counterfeit stamp is £5. 99% of senders of stamp that prove counterfeit are unaware of it and have no criminal intent. Why are they then FINED!
This happened to me the Xmas before last. My sister-in-law bought a book of stamps from the C*-*P. All the others stamps in the book were fine ie the letters/cards got delivered, with no penalty charge. But I had to pay the charge, in order to receive, what turned out to be a small Xmas card. I could not risk not paying the charge, in case it was an important letter!
I have the same worry over potentially important items being illegally „held“ because RM deem a stamp to be „counterfeit“ when it's actually the genuine article. ⚖ Fortunately, there *are* ways to convince an RM commercial manager that the letter being „held“ should be presented to you *without* any extortion taking place... ⚔👍
I’d be happy if they delivered my letters. I sent two letter to the same address in my town. One got there and the other was never to be seen again. Both had a first class stamp. The “lost” ? one was a birthday card which had a fancy string on it that you could feel through the envelope. It’s never arrived????. I’ve lost faith in the post as this has happened before 😢.
Its happened to me a few times, people who i bought from & sent through the post bought stamps from the post office & they deemed them counterfeit! Definitely a scam going on somewhere!
Royal Mail took all of my _proper_ stamps and swapped them for this new "Barcoded" rubbish. I think we should send them all back. 👍 Also: Might want to suppress that "Live" banner when uploading to RUclips. Pretty sure it's no longer live⚡ if I'm watching it three weeks later. 🙃
Stamps Expensive and now useless 😂 may as well put an I’ve been a brave boy sticker from the dentist on your envelope 😞 if you’ve still got a dentist 😆😉
I still think that if a genuine stamp happens to have the same barcode as a fake stamp that's already been scanned, it will be rejected. I am not sure that the system tells the operator WHY a stamp doesn't scan as genuine, or, assuming that it does, the operators have been taught what to do in that instance? These things are not just a failure of technology: they are a failure inherent in authoritarian, top-down micromanagement: you are simply not allowed to solve problems created by those above you! The Chinese firms doing the fakes do seem to be working from images of big sheets of genuine stamps taken somewhere within the genuine stamp-making process, so sooner or later all the fake stamps scanned will match up with a genuine stamp. If the owner of the genuine stamp is lucky, it will be scanned first, but it probably is a matter of pure chance.
Charge a ridiculously high £1.40 for a stamp for postage them demand a further £5 from the recipient for delivery? Can any one else smell fraud?

£1.35 for 1st, 85p for second.
Royal Mail said their system was ROBUST.
About as ROBUST as Horizon then.
Royal Mails systems are so „robust“ even my gaffa-taped Windows 98 PC is more reliable and secure than anything they have in their IT department... 😉
Is Fujitsu involved? 🤔
would not surprise me, Sounds like more dodgy software.
NO
@@IanBillings-eu5kz So who knocked this up then?

Yes, he kept trying to blame the Post Office when all they do is sell the stamps supplied by Royal Mail.
They are both run by the same type of person. They are also very intertwined, they cannot operate without the other.

*ROYAL FAIL*
😮
Sounds like RM themselves are the scam artists
Not taking this lightly because they got caught!
The real crime is the cost of the stamp !!! Last time I bought 1st class stamps they were 67 pence.
Now its £1.35 ? Joke.
That's why they have to go up, because not enough people are posting letters. Your last purchase was 5 years ago!
@@IanBillings-eu5kz it's the death knell for sending cards when the stamp is half the price of the card.

Guess they didn't make enough money on there last scam.

If the stamp book was bought at a post office and the stamps are deemed fake, is the post office liable for selling fake stamps?
And branding a faulty computer system as flawless.

Royal Mail destroyed by Simon Thompson 😢

Fujitsu strikes again ?
More deliberate deceit from the Royal Mail.
Royal Mail is not the same as The Post Office. How much longer is GB News going to have stupid news presenters on their channel?

They are not sorry. It is a deliberate money making exercise.
Designed by fujitsu destined to fail
Irrelevant, Royal Mail stamps are nothing to do with Fujitsu.
