Bait and Switch
When you find a vendor selling merchandise with a link pointing to www.lglab.com or any of our other pages, make sure they produce a picture of our report or a report number that can be verified before purchase. If you find a vendor engaging in bait and switch, selling an item and placing another report with the item, or no report at all, please contact fraud watch with the information.

Over Grading
When a merchant creates his own in-house appraisals, a conflict of interest exists often resulting in misrepresentation of the grade. Always chose a third party laboratory report. To find out if the vendor's report is produced in house, please submit the items location to fraud watch, and we will verify the origin and authenticity of the report for you.

Fake Lab
When a merchant has a report from a lab, but the lab has no website or a website with no phone number or no address, there is a distinct possibility the vendor created this "lab" to grade his own merchandise. If you are suspicious, please submit the web address or items location to fraud watch, and we will verify the authenticity of the lab for you. To speak to fraud watch. Contact us

Third party Scam
When a merchant offers a third party lab report with an item being sold, but only makes it available after you make the purchase you are at high risk regardless of what the vendor promises or guarantees. Always ask to see the report from a reliable third party lab before committing to a purchase. Please submit the vendor's location to fraud watch, and we will verify if the third party scam is being used. To speak to fraud watch. Contact us
