Degree Forgery

[LevelUP]

The thing is, this is just a forged document.  Companies already know about this - they don't ask you for a copy of your diploma, they ask you what school you graduated from and the date - and then go look it up on the National Clearinghouse.  Or if they are serious about the coursework you took, they ask for you to have a transcript sent to them directly from the school.

I guess if it was 1996, this might make more sense to pay for.

I agree with all of that.  But at the same time, if you pick a known degree mill and start searching, you can find people who have used these "degrees" to get jobs and there continue to be people who are outed and lose their jobs as a result of having some sort of fraudulent degree.  So as easy as it might be to check, we know that a lot of employers simply don't check.  There will always be scammers.

It's one thing to forge a degree for personal use or for fun. It's another to buy a forged degree or forge it yourself to get a job in the U.S.

1. It's against the law in most states, you could have to pay a fine or go to jail.
   
2. Your reputation is everything, something like this could damage your career if you are a serious professional.  You could lose your ability to get a professional license in the state.
   
3. You expose yourself to legal liability which could be an unlimited liability.
