Publish that the other lab was shit.

does this happen often; is it easy to find examples?

sorry for newbie questions

My computer science professor was trying to be helpful and answered a bunch of questions from a grad student from another university.

But it turned out she was asking so many questions because she was writing a paper about how his paper was flawed.

My professor ended up being on the committee to peer review her paper (since he's famous for the topic).

He was a good sport about it and appreciated that research was happening. He just asked her to be more forthcoming in the future.

Contact the other lab and explain the issues we are having. You can spot genuine results because they're usually really enthusiastic about helping you.

I would straight piss myself if I was her during that review. There would not be a single intelligible word coming out my mouth

What's actually scary is that he could have been an asshole and just blackball her with practically zero repercussions.
