provoking the postal system




about one week ago I tried to povoke the german postal service once more, this time with an artistamp from Litsa Spathi, the artistamp looks similar to an official elderly postage stamp so I was attempted to try this out. I post one for Litsa Spathi and one for me. As I heard today from Litsa her card arrived without any problems. Mine arrived as well today with an official stamp on it, that this is a fake postage stamp, they wrote the number 96, the due you have to pay, but I didn't have to pay for it. I found it together with other post inside the box.
