Summary:A system and method for receiving and storing data about a unique postal indicium, the data being received from a printing location after printing of the postal indicium and determining whether scanned information about the postal indicium received from a reading location matches the stored data, is a duplicate, or is otherwise suspected of being fraudulent.
