Protecting the good name of PCGS from eBay counterfeits

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT. "Protecting the good name of PCGS from eBay Counterfeits." A new threat has emerged: eBay sellers offering counterfeits in fake PCGS holders with phony “Not PCGS” certification sites. PCGS President Stephanie Sabin responds. The risk is serious. This is a much-overlooked consequence because it attacks the fundamental priority of top holdering companies: authentication.

    I know there are lots of fakes, but I don't understand the role of the fake PCGS site. Help me connect the dots. Is it suggested that people go to the fake PCGS site (listed as pcgsn.com in the article), type in the certification number from a coin they bought on eBay, then say to themselves "oh, this must be an authentic coin"?

    Thanks. So I guess the fakers are hoping that we are not very observant.
