I know this is a scam, but has anybody come across fakedegrees.com?
It's a site that will create fake/novelty award certificates from your
favourite university/college. It allows you to search for your institution,
ours is listed and so are a few other UK universities that I tried. They
clearly disclaim that they are for novelty/joke purposes and not for
fraudulent use.
I also note from their site they are also about to launch a fake transcript
service to go with you new shiny new 'novelty' certificate.
Cheers,
Gareth
