I would not take a chance on it even if it will never get caught. Allowing counterfeits into the system takes revenue away from USPS and will eventually cost you, the taxpayer, more money when they have to be bailed out.

I'm not saying that using one fake roll will do that, but it's a matter of principle, and you'll end up paying for it anyways.
Seriously?

No idea. I'm responding to this notion:
That was in response to this
When your letters come back with a stamp "counterfeit postage return to sender" then you'll know.
Was curious how closely they examine for fakes.

Yes.
So maybe don't cash your stimulis check or your NJ $500 rebate check because "it's going to cost you in the long run"  ::)

If you notice one day that some of the bills in your pocket are counterfeit, you will just shred them and move on?

There is a big difference between taking a stimulus check and supporting an illegitimate business that will bankrupt your mail system and drive up taxes.

Thats a crime & probably against halacha. What happens when he takes it to the bank & they confiscate it ? You caused him the loss.

Can you break down the difference for us?

And FYI the USPS is already bankrupt. Been that way forever.

Halachikly, you're obligated to take the loss?

Who said it will reach the bank? Who said they’ll notice?

Illegitimate is the code word here.

If you don't know who gave it to you? Yes.

If you come out of your house one day and your car window is shattered, are you allowed to steal a new window from a glass place?

Ask a rov, but you can’t just cause someone else a loss. Also, there are places that will call police & secret service if you try using counterfeits.

I have no idea if these are fakes. Postal inspectors are looking for businesses using counterfeits, not one here and there.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Actually it looks like this may be a fundraiser for some church, or possibly a way to get peoples names and addresses for a ministry? i googled the seller FOREVER GRATEFUL MINISTRIES INC and it links to a website for charitable ministry. The mystery continues!
