Careful What You Say

[ham]

My point is that some of these people were not aware that they were actually buying a degree. They had no idea that they could have obtained the same degree by just giving their credit card number and not presenting any work whatsoever.

Hard to believe in today's world but possible.

They were of course aware that St. Regis is not Harvard or Yale, but it was cheap, fast, and accepting limitless work done elsewhere.

one more reason to be suspicious.

And, most importantly, it was - or rather appeared to be - accredited by a MOE. We all know that it doesn't matter if an institution is accredited in Liberia, Uganda, Malaysia or any other country, degrees from MOE accredited schools are accepted almost everywhere.

I don't think so...and anyways that was not a bonafide Liberian school, but an 'American' or whatever school boasting an accreditation from Liberia; it never served the population of Liberia the way say DETC accredited foreign schools serve their domestic population. In other words, say UNISA's primary target are South-Africans, then you get others...with 'exotic accreditation mills' it is the other way round: they only cater to people foreign to their country of accreditation, probably to avoid stirring trouble.

Some people transferred and/or completed work they had done or started at other (often legitimate) schools. They thought it was a unique opportunity to complete their studies interrupted for various reasons and get an accredited degree. It was obvious that it was fast, cheap and easy and not according to the standards of North American or European universities, but still had nothing to do with purchasing a degree.

As I said, 'fast'n'easy yet not THAT fast'n'easy'... ought to make people suspicious...

I know this forum is generally hostile to George Gollin and his friends, but I have to say this here.

Many, many cudos to George Gollin and his friends for helping expose the most dangerous mill of them all.

St. Regis was not like other mills, it was an almost perfect fraud operation, but only people who have had a direct, first hand experience with them will be able to fully understand what I mean.

George Gollin and friends performed a public service and this should be acknowledged. Dixie and co. have done great harm to many people.

degreeinfo and degreediscussion pundits are clueless idiots.
How do I prove it?
I made an effort to expose ECOLE SUPERIEURE ROBERT DE SORBON as soon as it appeared, with its fancy exotic acronyms, accreditation double-talk and deceptive tactics.

If you go back to degreeinfo you'll see my effort being hampered and sabotaged and ultimately attention being diverted to an immature character assassination campaign against me. See gay teen pornographer, school dropout & enema salesman Thomas Chip White, massage parlor addict Gregg Deselms, fraud uncle Janko and other pundits shift the focus on my 'credibility' and 'integrity' ...so that they could keep discussing the mill: selective advertising ( good press, bad press IS press nonetheless ).
So you see these 'crusaders' are highly selective in their campaigns...much like John Bear is known to have 'traded off' with millists to engineer entries in the 'guides' to their liking...
