The world’s largest diploma mill operates from Pakistan. Don’t fall victim! There are hundreds and hundreds of fake high schools and fake college diploma mills operating online.
WEBISTE UNCOVERS WORLDS LARGEST DIPLOMA MILL OPERATION.
Please see this website for information: http://www.diplomamillscam.com
A fake high school diploma, fake GED or fake college degree could get you into trouble, and will surely not help you get a job.
How do you avoid being a victim of a fake online school or college? It is easier than you think but you must do your research. And make the online high school or online college prove they are legitimate.
A NOTE ABOUT EXCEL HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.
*EXCEL HIGH SCHOOL IS REGIONALLY ACCREDITED BY AdvancED and The North Central Association CASI, agencies recognized both by the State and United States Department of Education. Excel High School as an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau with an ‘A’ rating.
*EXCEL COLLEGE HAS MADE AN OFFICIAL APPLICATION WITH THE MINNESOTA OFFICE OF HIGHER EDUCATION. Excel College expects to be operational immediately upon approval of our application by the State of Minnesota, Office of Higher Education.
Legitimate schools and colleges are licensed and approved by their State Department of Education and the United States Department of Education. If you cannot verify your school or college on a government recognized website, than you can almost be certain it is a scam. Calling your State Department of Education to prove legitimacy is always a great idea. We have provided a list of State agencies below.
Please see this website for information: http://www.diplomamillscam.com
