ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure has to do with the prevention of the fraudulent alteration of postage meter tapes whereby they can be used without paying the proper postage. A simple locking device may be added to existing postage meters whereby the postage meter cannot be operated unless the actual meter is in place. Therefore if the meter is removed the postage meter will not be operational until the machine is replaced. Mechanical or electronic counters can also be installed to record the removal activity and if it is exceptionally high could be questioned by proper authorities.
