ABSTRACT:
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. The system and method may include sending instructions to the reading location on how to handle a mail piece to which the postal indicium is affixed; and sending information to an automatic revenue protection processing system, if the scanned information about the postal indicium does not match the stored data about the postal indicium, is a duplicate, or is otherwise suspected of being fraudulent.
