I found the GIA site where I can put in a certificate number and get details about it.

Does anyone know if GIA has a process to report fake certificates, and organizations that seem to be selling a number of them?

I did check their site, but did not find an obvious way to report one.

But I often miss things.....

Hi Wilson,

I agree with Tom, at:

You can see all the GIA report information, just place the GIA report number. Even for the colored gemstones, you can see the stone image.

That is where I found out how to check a report.....

What do you do if you find a fake one..... I would think that since it is their name that some one is basically forging, that they would do something about people ho seem to have a lot of fake reports....
