Fake Diplomas Are Trouble. . . .
How can you tell if a diploma is real? Here’s an easy way to find out.If the school gives a diploma with an online test most likely it’s a fake diploma. The problem with online tests is that they don’t measure real skills and academic achievement.
Since the tests are taken at home with no supervision there’s to no way to know who is actually taking the test. Therefore they don’t really measure anything.
What about accreditation?
Accreditation only means something if the diploma is based on achievement. There are dozens of phony accreditation groups. The rule of thumb is, if it sounds too good to be true. . . it is.
Here some things to look out for. . .
Here’s what to watch out for.
If you can get the diploma without having to actually prove your high
school skill attainment, it’s phony.
Is the school a member of the Better Business Bureau? If they do not
list their membership on the site, be wary.
If you can get the diploma in just a few days or weeks, it’s a fake.
Don’t be mislead by accreditation claims. Anyone can make up phony
accreditation claims. The acid test is whether the diploma is based on
actual achievement of high school subject areas. Why take the chance?
Lose Your Job and Face Prosecution.
Falsifying your educational background is a serious thing. Nine states have laws against it, and Congress is considering legislation now to make it a crime to use a fake diploma to get a job or enroll in a school.
Even worse is the embarrassment when people find out your diploma is not a real high school diploma. You can lose your job or the promotion you were hoping to get. Why take the chance.
