Forgeries are plentyful. Most of the forgeries that I've seen are rather deceptive. Examples of forgeries:
Forgery, design not very well done, lower right ornaments
different (the lower curly part). Part of a printed perforation
on the left hand side?
Other imperforate forgery, possibly made by Segui
Block of Segui forgeries, made around 1910.
Very dubious item, most likely a forgery. At the bottom left of
the central circle, the horizontal background lines are touching
the small circular enclosure. In genuine stamps the horizontal
lines never touch the circle. Although I am not 100% certain,
this might be the characteristics of a Segui forgery.
Three Fournier forgeries as they can be found in 'The Fournier
Album of Philatelic Forgeries', reduced sizes. According to the
Serrane guide the dimensions of the Fournier forgeries are 18 1/4
x 21 1/2 mm, while the genuine stamps measure 18 3/5 x 21 4/5 mm.

This forgery(?) has inscription "20 CEN DE PESO"
instead of "20 CEN DE ESC".
A very deceptive forgery made by Sperati.

Stamps in a similar design were issued for the Elobey, Annobon and and Corisco; Fernando Poo; Philippines; Puerto Rico; Spanish Guinea and Rio de Oro.
Forgeries exist, example:
(Fournier 1st choice forgeries)
The above forgery was made by Fournier, here with "SANTA ISABEL 21 APR 99 FERNANDO POO" cancel, another cancel also exists: "CABO DE SAN JUAN 17 MAY 00 FERNANDO POO" (see second image). He has made two types of forgeries of the 1899 issue (4 values; 60 c to 2 P) and 1 type of the 1900 issue (5 values with millesimas, 1 to 5 m and 4 values with centavos 2 to 8 c). He distinguished between first choice forgeries and second choice forgeries. The second choice forgeries are relatively crude. I posess a 80 c 1899 1st choice Fournier forgery with no cancel, but with a 'FAUX' overprint; this forgery was distributed with the 'Fournier Album'.
Second choice Fournier forgery

I've been told that these are 'Geneva forgeries'; they were
probably made by Fournier as well.

(Fiscal stamps, reduced sizes)
Overprinted for postal use (value: all R to RRR):
(Reduced size)
Looks like a forgery to me, the "F" of "F DO"
has the central stroke too high, the design is a bit blur and the
overprint is smaller and in a different lettering type.
The "CORREOS" overprint was also forged, example of such a forgery:
Also, some two fiscal stamps were overprinted with "HABLITADO -- PARA -- CORREOS" or "HABILITADO PARA CORREO 15 C --- DE PESO ---", example:
