I know the phone number of one of the Fixits.
Are universiities interested?
Nope."
The TES, Daily Mail nor News of the World - despite being offered the phone number of the Fixit guy - were not interested enough to follow up the story.

As I type this I have in front of me an UNCONDITIONAL OFFER given to a Chinese student with NO A levels (he decided he'd have a long holiday so dropped all his subjects in May 2004) and NO Chinese High School leaving certificate (which anyway are apparently easy to buy in China).
He paid a 'Fixit' £4000 to get into a British university. He starts his degree shortly. It's not the degree he wanted but he's been told that he can transfer to his chosen degree in 3 mths time. Apparently this is not unknown, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly at this particular university.
A colleague of mine intends to ask the University why they gave the UNCONDITIONAL OFFER (which the University is entitled to do as it has discretion).
The point is this: the title of this Forum is Plagiarism and this is obviously not plagiarism. So - would you like me to post the results of my investigation and/or the Universitiy's response? or is it too far off topic? (I would simply post their response - no libel would be committed)
Before you answer, I should add that at least one member of the University is a regular poster here.
