No vendor is flagged here without documented, verifiable evidence and a right of reply. Below: the five red flags you can spot yourself, and exactly how our flagging works. Scam Watch is never for sale.
Slow and plain. Five steps, one thing to do at each. This tells you whether a vendor is being honest — not whether to buy or use anything. For research use only.
Search our vendor directory for the seller. Note their Trust Score. Not listed at all? That alone is a reason to be careful.
Open the vendor directory ›A Certificate of Analysis is the lab report for a batch. If the vendor publishes no COAs anywhere, stop here — that is the single biggest red flag.
How to read a COA ›The COA should show a lot / batch number, and it should match the product you are looking at. One generic “lab report” reused on every product is decoration, not testing.
What is a batch number? ›Find the compound in our price index. A price dramatically below the range is a warning, not a bargain — it usually means fake or underfilled, not generosity.
Open the price index ›Last, see whether the vendor appears on Scam Watch, and read the 5 red flags above so you can spot the tactics yourself.
Remember: none of these steps tells you whether to buy or use anything — that is a separate, personal decision. They only tell you whether a vendor is being honest. For anything about your own health, talk to a licensed clinician.
Send us a bad COA, a counterfeit, or a non-delivery report. Tips are reviewed before anything is published.
