Forgeries of these stamps:
Similar forgeries of the values 5 c, 10 c and 50 c can be found on Bill Claghorn's forgery site: http://members.tripod.com/claghorn1p/Ecuador/Ecu65.htm. I've also seen the 1 c and 20 c. Usually they don't have the 'faux' overprint as in the above forgeries. These forgeries are all printed very badly (compared to the genuine stamps). I've been told they were made by the forger N. Imperato of Genoa in Italy in 1918. I've seen them with a forged "ADN???? DE CORREOS DE GUAYAQUIL ECUADOR GUAYAQUIL U.P.U. MAR 12 189." cancel that can also be found in the Fournier Album:

The stamps of 1901 exist with various security overprints (after stamps had been stolen). I know of 17 different overprints. These overprints also exist forged (among them by Fournier). The 1 c orange exists with overprint 'CASA DE CORREOS' (issued 1919).

From 1886 onwards many postage stamps were overprinted with 'OFICIAL' or 'FRANQUEO OFICIAL'. Be careful, forgeries of these overprints exist, example:
(Forged overprint)
The following overprinted stamp 'TELEGRAFOS' was only used for postal services and not for telegraphic purposes:
(Reduced size)
Other stamps of 1892 with overpritn 'TELEGRAFOS' were actually used as telegraph stamps, the values 1 c, 2 c, 5 c, 10 c, 20 c, 50 c, 1 S and 5 S exist with this overprint.
Three stamps (10 c, 20 c and 40 c) in the design of the 1894 stamps, but with inscription 'TELGRAFOS DEL ECUADOR' were issued in 1894.
Other design:
(1893 issue, these three values only)
(1900 issues, these three values were issued only)
Besides these stamps, there are also some fiscal stamps with overprint 'TELEGRAFOS'.
Fournier (a forger) has made forgeries of Ecuador. After he died an album with forgeries was made to enable stamp collectors to distinguish his forgeries. He used cancels that always resembled the cancels used by the country he forged. Here a copy of a page of this album with the cancels for Equador:
1) "ADN???? DE CORREOS DE GUAYAQUIL ECUADOR GUAYAQUIL U.P.U. MAR 12 189."; I've seen it on forgeries of the 1896 issue.
2) "FRANCA" (I have seen this cancel being used on forgeries of Buenos Aires, so I think it has been misplaced in the Founier Album).
3) "QUITO 18 MARZO 81 FRANCA"
4) 9 lines arranged to form a circle
