I wouldn't even call that a fake, more like a fantasy.

At best it's an oddity, since there is no way to tell when someone wrote it on the stamp and why it was written. Could be someone was just having fun scribbling on the stamp. If someone was trying to deceive for any purpose, it wasn't a very good effort!

maybe it is an effect of the cancellation, but Lincoln looks truly frightened

My guess, "2 Cents Due". Not an overprint, but a manuscript postal marking.
