Stamp-washing fuels a nationwide postal crime ring
Postal inspectors report a growing scheme to scrub cancellation marks from 22 cent stamps using chemicals. Investigators say the theft and resale of washed stamps amount to millions, with a prominent case in Cincinnati where a realtor was convicted on six felony counts and ordered to repay $47,000 after authorities seized 104,000 washed stamps. The operation expands across 38 divisions, targeting large scale buyers and mail order sellers.
