Fakers and forgers around the globe united!!!

To give some relief to my fellow Myanmar people who might think there are so many fakers
and forgers among us. Take it easy, not only Burmese, there are so many Liberians, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Malaysians, Chinese and Indians among scum bags. Even better, or worse depends
on your interpretation, there are scum masters in United States, UK and Canada. So Relax.

A Physics professor become an expert in exposing fraudsters. He offer tools for exposers:

The story below tells how he was swept into the world of fakers and forgers to combat them.
Your humble blogger wants to add one more category, there are fraudsters who earned PhDs
by sucking their academic fathers. That is by making an unethical, explicit or implicit, sleazy
arrangement with their supervisors or mentors to let their universities accept those plagarized
PhD dissertations. In such scenarios, cleaners like your humble blogger and brothers in arms
are faced with choice but to take down their scholar daddies even if they are giants. Sometimes
asses of giants can be put on the hot firing lines.

Fraud U: Toppling a Bogus-Diploma Empire
By David Wolman
Wired Jan 2010

'It started with spam. On a quiet August day in 2002, a physics professor named George Gollin
was working in his office at the University of Illinois when an ad popped up on his computer
screen. The product on offer: college degrees.

In a nearby computer lab, the ads leaped from one monitor to another, seeming to spread like
a contagion. The spam barrage was raging across the Urbana-Champaign campus. “They were sending
bazillions of them, for weeks,” Gollin recalls. “It was like a telemarketer calling over and over.”
He decided to dial the phone number listed in the ad to find out who was behind the electronic
assault.

No one answered, so Gollin left a polite message. A few days later he received a call from a
man,speaking with what sounded like an Eastern European accent, who delivered a pitch for various
degree options from Parkwood University. Gollin, who is 56 and has a BA from Harvard and a PhD
from Princeton, listened in amazement as the man cheerfully explained how, for about $4,400, he
could supply a PhD in systems engineering.

Or if that wasn’t to Gollin’s liking, he could offer a doctorate in Germanic languages. Gollin
chuckled and shook his head. It was all rather amusing, the academic equivalent of a bad toupee
— anyone who looked closely could see that it was a fake.

Still, Gollin’s curiosity was piqued, so he decided to look up Parkwood University online.
At first glance, the Web site resembled that of any liberal arts college, complete with links for information on student services, academics, and faculty. With some Googling, Gollin discovered
that the course catalog for Parkwood had been copied wholesale from the University of Central Florida’s Web site.' -- snip snip --

'But one phony institution — a front called Saint Regis University — had something even better:
the Liberian connection.......'

I want to give credit to the site below for above information. An interesting fact in the article below is that fakers and forgers are a threat to a nation. It is like cancer, it is a wart, a mole which is better removed before it grows too big.
