The innocent are certainly paying Royal Mail as they neither purchased or sold the fraudulent stamps but get charged £5 if they want their post. I  would say that if the Royal Mail doesn't set up something other website that would allow purchasers of stamps to identify the fraudulent stamps they are complicit in fraudulently chaging the innocent recipient.  It's easy for them to do that: they just need the sender who purchased them to upload a jpeg image of the stamp's barcode to the website to check if it's valid. If it's not then the purchaser can go to the outlet where they purchased the stamps with the receipt and a reference from the Royal Mail website saying it's invalid and demand their money back. It's then between the wholesaler, retailer, Royal Mail to sort out who pays and who has commited fraud. (If one had a smartphone one could do the check in the sales outlet when purchasing them.)  It's obviously not the recipient of the letter.  On the other point, the Royal Mail is obviously trying to get out of its licence agreement commitments for delivering mail. If it doesn't honour them it should be forced into receivership and renationalised, including it's parcel business.  Time to get tough on privatised businesses that don't deliver. *Sorry about the pun ...
