Diploma $29.99?
Do not take things at face value, especially education credentials. Right now on the internet you can purchase an authentic looking diploma for any degree you wish. The package also comes with student transcripts, documented membership in student body council and an alumni sticker for your car window. I am not kidding, an alumni sticker!With all of this possible, it would be foolish to not have education verification as part of your employee screening process.
To spot a fake, follow these steps.
Look closely at how the institution name is spelled. With a change of one letter, it is not forgery. Universty of Kentucky?
Call the institution directly, with a phone number you obtain, to verify the degree. Some applicants will provide false phone numbers and have friends answer the phone with the information.
Ask the institution to fax you a copy of the diploma and compare it with the diploma that the applicant provides.
Or, have a professional employment background check done.
The short time it takes to check out the documents will save you much time and headaches in the long run
