According to Pos Malaysia spokesman Mohd Yusri Dollah, as reported by The Star, Pos Malaysia has begun to ramp up security measures by putting expiry dates and barcodes on the envelopes
[Bernama](http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v8/ge/newsgeneral.php?id=1248797) reported that most of the fake envelopes are sold in a bulk, and at a cheaper price.
For example, an "S" size envelope was sold for only RM5 each whereas the official pricing of the original product at Pos Malaysia is at RM6.36 each including Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Additionally, Mohd Yusri has offered some advice on how to identify some tell-tale signs that you might be buying a fake Pos Laju flyer:
1. "The main difference is the **inside of the envelope – it is grey in the original product and black in the counterfeit**," Mohd Yusri was quoted as saying by [The Star](http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2016/05/24/pos-malaysia-uncovers-prepaid-envelope-scam/).
2. **Most of the counterfeit envelopes are in S or L size.**
3. The words"Pos Laju" on the original envelope are **rough and textured, but smooth on the counterfeit.**
