Ancestral DNA lab report? Is this real?
I had a ancestral DNA test done on me to either confirm or deny Native American heritage. The only problem is, I suspect that the lab report may be fake. Here’s the whole story….. I finally get the call from a very small local business that my ancestral DNA report had come in and that I could come for a results consultation the next day. So, when my girlfriend and I get there (she also had her ancestral DNA tested at the same time as I) the individual hands me my report and tells me that my Native American heritage is 5 % from the Seneca tribe, 2.5% Chippewa and 2% Shawnee. Obviously, I was very excited and started to ask more questions. However, as I began to think deeply about what was just handed to me I noticed that all the Haplogroups on my ACTUAL lab report were of the K variety. There were no A, B, C, D or X’s on the report whatsoever. The only piece of information that indicated Native American descent was a little map of the Eastern United States that had my alleged Native percentages and associated tribes below it (I’ve also included a link to a scaned image of both this paper and the actual lab report below). There were several misspellings and differences in text type in comparing my supposed lab report with my girlfriends. It gets more interesting. when I asked the individual at the business if I could have the phone number for the lab to ask them questions, she quickly told me that the lab doesn’t take calls from patients but that she would gladly answer any more of our questions. Can someone please help shine some light on this lab report and tell me if it’s legit or not. I would truly like to be able to believe them, but something deep down in me says I’ve been crocked.

I would say you have been scamed.
However every lab has different ways of writing things down, but this is unlike any system i have seen.
Also i presume this was expensive, but it wont make any difference to you at all. And the data that they are using to say what make su 2% whatever is highly inaccurate even in the best places.
Sorry to say it but yeah it does sound like a scam
