A new report exposes diploma and accreditation mills — fake universities and colleges which con students out of their money and supply fake degrees that deceive employers into offering jobs, sometimes with alarming or fatal consequences.
The ‘Accredibase Report’ is the result of an 18-month international research project by Eyal Ben Cohen and Rachel Winch of Verifile Limited, one of the leading background screening firms in the United Kingdom,
Report co-author Ben Cohen says: “We have so far identified 1,762 fake institutions, and we are still investigating a further 1,545 currently filed as ‘suspicious’ before publishing them on the ‘Accredibase’ database.”
Alarmingly, the US was found to be the world’s fake college capital, with 810 diploma mills already identified and many more still under investigation as the Report went to press. More than 35 percent of the diploma mills operate in California, Hawaii, Washington and Florida. The world’s second biggest concentration of fake colleges was in the UK, the Report exposing 271 bogus institutions, making the UK the centre of Europe’s bogus colleges scam.
