Orange County Register

Some of you may remember this story on buying phony diplomas where I bought a diploma from an online diploma mill certifying that I have a masters’ degree in engineering from Cal State Fullerton.

I proudly hang the diploma over my desk today, as an example of how easy it is to buy a fake degree. It later developed that the company was operating from Norway or some such place to avoid legal issues by people who object to such things.

Now, the Spokane Spokesman-Review in Washington state has published a list of some of the 10,000 people who bought fake degrees from a diploma mill that had been operating there.

Here’s the list. Maybe your boss is on there.

Here’s a page with stories that the Spokane paper has run on diploma mills.
