fraudulent degrees

Fraudulent degrees refer to diplomas or educational credentials that are either entirely fake or issued by unaccredited institutions that lack legitimate academic authority. Individuals may purchase these degrees to falsely claim qualifications for employment, promotions, or other benefits. This practice can undermine the integrity of education and the workforce, leading to trust issues in hiring processes. Educational institutions and employers often perform background checks to identify such fraud, and consequences for those caught using fraudulent degrees can include job loss, legal action, and damaged reputations.
