Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I loved this book. I was looking for information about why a medical licensing bill I supported was being hammered by some people who claimed to be doctors.
What I found was that they were all graduates of diploma mills who had bought the degree and the BS hook, line and sinker. They honestly thought that a correspondence course made them a doctor. Insane. And kind of sad.
This book had great information to find out if someone has a bogus degree, how "accrediting agencies" are set up by the same diploma mills that they claim to accredit, and what can be done about it. It was written by the FBI guys who spent their careers going after these scam artists. There are several chapters of information that is very useful as well as some jolly good stories.

Need a degree from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or MIT! No problem. Send us a check! Do you know where your doctor, lawyer, or clergyman earned his or her degree? In 1986, a congressional committee report concluded that: more than 500,000 working Americans have a fraudulent degree. The media hardly noticed. The public yawned. The academic world buried its head in the sand. And things have gotten much, much worse since then. Allen Ezell, who specialized in degree fraud during his 35 years with the FBI, and John Bear, prolific author and expert witness on the subject in federal and state courts, reveal the shocking dimensions of this growing scam in this thoroughly researched expose. They show how degree mills operate, offer detailed warning signs that a school might be fake, tell how to check up on anyone's degree, and what to do when a fake degree is discovered. Also provided are information and links to useful lists of bad and fake schools. This is an invaluable reference book for personnel departments in business and academia, as well as for the average consumer.
