Jehovahs Witness and Counterfeit stamps

Post by eastie »

I have Jehovahs Witnesses delivering letters around my walk with counterfeit stamps and this has happened for quite a while but what pees me and the customers off is that the customers get the £2.50 charge card and the Jehovahs Witnesses get away scot free.
I tell most of my people on my round about them but thats not the point.
Cant we bill them instead?

So a jehovahs witness is delivering letters, presumably jehovahs witness related stuff with stamps on that are counterfeit and making royal mail money? Is that what you're saying? If that's true why would he or they be sticking stamps on their own stuff and delivering it to make RM money?

I think he means they're posting letters with counterfeit stamps on that are getting picked up by revenue protection and surcharged.

It comes across as though the jehovah's witnesses are walking around delivering letters with dodgy stamps on and people are getting surcharged :hmmmm

Have seen this up here as well. Lad who works the late shift on the counter had one come in one night as he had posted 200 letters with no stamps on by mistake and was demanding someone went and retrieved them from the box. 200 people got a fee to pay card the next week.

On a similar theme, my heart drops when you see someone hanging around the postbox as you arrive to empty it. You just know they've wanting a letter back due to no stamp etc.

It does my head in when you get a street full of JW letters, as you just know virtually every letter will go straight in the bin once it's been delivered.

The Jehovahs have stuck dodgy photocopied stamps on letters and posted them via RM who picked them out as counterfeit

They have a counterfeit religion.
Of course they would use counterfeit stamps.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You'd be pissed wouldn't ya if you went to collect a revenue letter and it was one of them.

On a different jobo related story, one once fell over on a customers property we were both on (I was delivering, them door knocking), and they smashed an expensive looking garden knome. The customer phoned up and blamed me. Luckily, the guy opposite had CCTV and showed the customer the footage which backed me up.

Had a birthday card come through the pipeline the other day with a £1 'Morrisons Saver Stamp' (saving up
for Xmas type thing) on it and it had got through without surcharge!
