How to tell if an Online Diploma is Legit
There are many websites offering fake degree, fake diplomas, novelty diplomas and replacement diplomas so you should be very careful when looking for an online school. Some of these online schools offer genuine products but most of them would like to take unsuspecting customers for a ride. Now that you have seen that there are online schools offering fake diplomas and degrees, how then will you be able to identify the genuine diplomas and degrees from the fake ones?
One thing that you need to do to know whether an online diploma or degree is genuine is to ask the school to show you a sample copy of their work, be it a diploma or a transcript. You can either ask them to give you a blank copy with no grades, information or GPA on it because if it has a name or information it might belong to someone. Do not listen to them if they tell you that they will not show you unless you are their client because if they are genuine they should be ready to show you whether you are a client or not. You also need to check out the name of the school if it exists on Yahoo.
In addition, you have to make sure that the diploma they show you is blank because scammers may show you a sample diploma that has a name of a person the diploma was conferred. Legitimate printers will always show you a blank diploma because when they print they usually leave the diploma empty and only fill in your name, the majoring, graduation date etc. once you complete your course of study. If an online school fails to show you this, it may for sure be a scammer. Additionally, if they claim that they use the school or university seal, then you should ask them to show you a photo of the seal which is usually a piece of metal that is engraved with the school or university logo, name or any other information. This information is engraved on that piece of metal plate. Furthermore ask for details like the size of diploma or transcript.
