Is there a specific person/department at PCGS to report fake PCGS holders/coins or does it matter?

It’s not an eBay auction.

I get the feeling you don't want to post the info so as not to spread it.
but there are sites that are already well known for having counterfeit holders.
so, the answer will depend.
I'd hate to say send it to someone only to have them flooded with alibaba links. on the other hand, if there is a usa dealer who regularly sells fakes, then they'd likely love to know about it.
Can we get a link to this auction? If it's being sold by a legitimate auction company or an honest coin dealer, you can alert them and they will pull the listing.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
If you are sure it is fake, then report it, if not sure, post a link so others here can evaluate it. Cheers, RickO
I'm sure they are fake. I talked to NGC about the fake NGC holders/coins and they were happy that I alerted them and notified someone within the company. The wait for PCGS was something like 90 minutes when I called so I emailed the info address and got what I suspect was an automated response.

It is an old article, but it says to notify PCGS about counterfeits at info@PCGS.com
Thanks to all who commented. Both services are aware.

I have one fake pcgs holder, I emailed them about it and they told me to send it in with a fee to validate the authenticity. I know it's fake, cert number does not come back, the label was printed on a poor quality inkjet printer, and there are minor differences from other slabs. I decided to keep my money.
