You might be right. I spent a little times to gone through a few online shops, including Chinese, and couldn’t find one that I can tell it’s clearly counterfeit. Unless I bought it and Royal Mail have something for me to verify its authenticity.
Comment on UK flooded with forged stamps despite using barcodes — to prevent just that

Yes, but the stamps have mostly been bought from the post office, who get it from royal mail. Given how few people even bother with stamps these days, what’s more likely? An organised gang infiltrating supply chains with undetectable forgeries, or an IT malfunction that means the codes are not being registered properly in the first place? I know where my money is!
