I do NOT trust seemst to be intended to mark forged keys.
GnuPG 1.4.9 -> \g10\pkclist.c -> check_signatures_trust() :
case TRUST_NEVER:
/* currently we won't get that status */
write_status( STATUS_TRUST_NEVER );
log_info(_("WARNING: We do NOT trust this key!\n"));
log_info(_(" The signature is probably a FORGERY.\n"));
if (opt.with_fingerprint)
print_fingerprint (pk, NULL, 1);
rc = G10ERR_BAD_SIGN;
break;
