This comes up constantly. The report can be real, the lab link can work, and the tested result can still be impossible to connect to the product currently listed for sale.

I would call that an unlinked report. “Verified” sounds too strong, while “fake” goes beyond the record. The useful question is whether a buyer can match the tested sample to a labeled batch without guessing.

Unlinked is the right word. Then show why: no lot on the listing, no photo of the tested label, or no public batch index. That turns a vague warning into something the vendor or another reader can actually correct.

I would also preserve the verification URL, not only a screenshot. A screenshot shows what someone saw. The lab-hosted record helps another person check whether it still resolves.
