Re: The last quotesaid by GreatPumpkin:"The high volume of resumes that come up from a simple Google search is somewhat frightening." Unbelievable... Actually, not really... Either it was weirdly timed or just concidence, but the major cable news networks all ran stories about phony degrees being used by job applicants not long ago. They've even caught CEOs using fake degrees as qualifications (if I knew the guys name still, I'd have a link). I was only able to find this link from a major news network, but there are more stories from smaller news agencies. » www.cnn.com/TECH/computi ··· ume.idg/That kind of stuff just makes it harder for people who are attempting to get jobs with real educations. | |

not a bad ideaI am going to school right now and some of my classes I would rather just pay to get credit. So many college classes are a waste of time anyways. Most electives are a joke. Plenty of people out there with earned degrees and are dumb as rocks. | |

uhm...1956? 1960's?Did you guys look through more than the first page on the google search? There were people claiming to have degrees from the college in the 50's and 60's. I wonder if at one time there really WAS a Trinity Southern University? | |

Re: uhm...1956? 1960's?There may of very well been. There are several real colleges with the name Trinity in them. It's pretty common for these scam schools to take a name similar to a real school in the hope people will confuse the two. | |

I was beginning to wonder the same thing... however, the most probable explanation is that... for a surcharge I'm sure ...you can have your degrees printed up with whatever date you like. I must say how utterly disgusted I am with all these resumes and corporate bios out there with "Trinity Southern University" in them. Has anyone come across a site with a more-or-less current list of these fake degree sites? | |

said by krobar:I wonder if at one time there really WAS a Trinity Southern University? That WOULD be a good angle to a scam, use the name of a defunct educational institution. One detail I recall is that when colleges and universities close completely, their records are supposed to be taken over by another institution or a state agency, so that it should be possible to verify eductional credentials, and rule out bogus ones. However, there may be instances - and maybe poorly run states like Texas - where that doesn't happen. Defunct colleges and universities usually have an alumni website somewhere. I couldn't easily find one under the exact name, but there are so many close names it is possible that one could be buried deeper in the search listings. | |

Re: uhm...1956? 1960's?said by SOLdesign:whatever... if you don't like Texas, fine, but dont say something bogus like that.... OK, let's just say, um, that Texas is known for a minimum of administrative and regulatory overhead, however you want to categorize it. Having had a bit of experience with this, I can tell you that Texas has more that it's share of diploma mills for some reason, and the Texas educational authorities are much less organized and helpful than in many other states in locating records for legimitate defunct institutions. | |

I know there is a Trinity College in San Antonio. With the way some smaller schools change names, it could be that one they are referring » www.trinity.edu | |

.edu TLD -- similar conceptI hope people realise that this isn't specific to just certain TLDs. Anyone who has had long-term exposure to IRC knows how often people purchase vanity domains with an .edu TLD.
Take ERIQ.EDU for example. Complete vanity, and gives the impression of an educational facility that doesn't exist. Historically getting an .edu TLD has required *extensive* paperwork, providing that the university does in fact exist.
Yes, I'm aware that the false university uses/used an .org TLD -- my point is that if it's easy for little IRC kiddies to get an .edu TLD, just wait until the scammers recruit them to create even more realistic-looking online scamhuts. | |
