TOP - Suspicious Dates/Batches In Testing

[Neurogroot]

I spent quite a bit of time searching for this issue, so hopefully I'm not duplicating any information outside of the general advice of "Don't Trust Vendor Provided COAs". If my suspicions are invalid, please let me know and I can get rid of this. Just wanted to remain vigilant when things look off.

I was looking at a vendor's COAs, and the date ordered is after date received. I have never seen this before. Would there be any case where testing facilities would receive a product with no testing request AND hold it, waiting for a request to be made? Or, is this simply a case of a bad translation of what date fields meant, and AI/Photoshop placing the dates into the incorrect fields. Also, thr batch number is the same for the 10+ products they have, which again, I've never seen. Attached 2 of their COAs from their thread:

Good catch. Theyre likely using a "batch number" for multiple products so they can reference the time period. Like a reseller gets 200 kits each of sema, tirz and reta and calls it same batch or purchase. Shady, but alot dont even have batch numbers.

Also they can share coas somehow if theyre a sister company or buy from same manufacturer, they can get a coa with their name on it. Also shady, cuz ive seen 6 or 7 different vendors with a sep 15 reta test date.

Did you look it up on the testing site?

This is in their advertised threads in their marketplace section of the forums. The "Testing Ordered" date being after the "Sample Received" date is what is throwing me the most and raising flags. Seems like the translations maybe mixed up so they slapped a photoshopped date value over the wrong fields?

It is also on Janoshik too, so could this be an issue with the lab testing being incorrect? I read a post where Jano typoed the product as T60 for T30, or vice versa a bit ago. If that is the case, I will delete this thread and/or apologize and correct myself.

Hmm... What I do know is that there are over a dozen testing companies (Janoshik, the scammers manipulating test results for profit at Finnrisk, Kraus, PeptideTest, Freedom, etc) and apparently Janoshik is the gold standard but because majority uses them, they're consistently and constantly overwhelmed with orders ---- they are bound to make mistakes.

I would hope that as popular as TOP is, they're being honest and is retaining their integrity... Unlike other vendors....
