Degree Fraud: Is it a serious problem.

Degree Fraud has become a large problem in today’s workplace. Diploma Mills generate more than $500 million in revenue each year and sell fake degrees for as little as $50. Advertisements can be found all over the internet saying things such as:
  • “Obtain a prosperous future, money earning power, and the admiration of all”
  • “Diplomas from prestigious, non-accredited universities based on your present knowledge and life experience”
  • “No required tests, classes, books, or interviews. Bachelors, MBA, and doctorate (PHD) diplomas available in the field of your choice.”
  • “No one is turned down. Confidentiality assured.”

Degree fraud and scandals have been found in every job position imaginable reaching all the way up to the US Homeland Security Department. Degree Mills are not going away anytime soon. The Degree Verification performed by PeopleCheck is thorough and will expose any false degrees leaving you feeling comfortable about the qualifications of your new hire.
