Plastics Recruiter - Fake Degrees

My name is Dan Regovich and as a Plastics Recruiter, we do come across this:

One of the latest news stories now is about a Spokane, Washington couple who have been indicted by a federal grand jury for creating fake diplomas. Their little twist on this saga is that they are creating fake degrees for accredited universities. It is unfortunate, but the investigation is showing that the University of Tennessee is not the only college that has been affected. Counterfeit diplomas have also been found for the University of Maryland, Texas A&M and George Washington University. All of these colleges are accredited colleges.

There are hundreds of fake universities on the internet, and counterfeit degrees being produced from accredited universities. Diploma mills and counterfeit degrees can be very sophisticated operations that undermine the credibility of legitimate institutions of higher education and graduates from those colleges and universities.

There is current legislation within the House and Senate addressing Diploma and Degree Mills. The Bill is attached to the College Opportunity and Affodability Act (HR 4137) and is expected to be presented to the full house hopefully in January, 2008. For now, experts agree that the best line of defense against these diploma mills and counterfeit diplomas is a responsible employer.
