I wandered into that education services trade show at the Phoenix convention center last Thursday and half the booths were selling instant transcripts for $150. One guy even handed me a flyer promising a master's degree in 72 hours, no classes or exams needed. How do people actually trust these places when they don't even hide how fake it all is?
Ever notice how these places target folks who just need a piece of paper to keep a job or get a raise, not people trying to scam anyone? Checking a box on a resume is cheaper than two years of night classes when your boss just wants to see the words "bachelor's degree.
