• Pope John Paul II
• Chess: Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov
• Fauna: Birds of Africa
• Scouts 2007 (various themes)
• Large scale images (John Paul II)
• Jan R. Blok: Fake & Bogus Junk (external link with extensive lists and illustrations)

A number of stamps (blocks or sheetlets) have recently appeared in the philatelic trade depicting various themes of fauna, primarily birds, which are purporting to be issued by the Palestinian National Authority and also bear a "Scout" logo (lillies). More types than shown here may exist. THESE ARE ALL FORGERIES.

Note the incorrect inscriptions: Palestinian National Authority instead of the correct The Palestinian Authority, the missing currency Fils and several other errors! A number of similar products exist, commemorating e.g. the late Pope and prominent chess players, all purporting to be "stamps" from Palestine.

The Palestinian Post is explicitely warning about these fakes on its website as well: Warning and picture.

According to the PWO website and Motor Filatelisten Nederland the persons reponsible for these fake stamps include a certain ******* ***** from *******. I personally cannot prove this connection, but numerous websites make exactly that inference.

One seller of these stamps (Marlen Stamp & Coins Ltd., 156 B Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11021) defends selling these worthless fabrications thus:

Palestinian National Authority 2006 "Birds of Africa: Pigeons" sheetlet of four 
stamps (also featuring the Scouts emblem)
(NOTE: THESE STAMP-LIKE LABELS WILL BE LISTED BY THE UPU AS ILLEGAL AND 
UNAUTHORIZED ISSUES. WE OFFER THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ON THE MARKET, AND WE 
RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY THEM ONLY IF YOU LIKE THEM.)
