Can people really fall for this, or do they know what they're getting themselves into? Surely somebody with years of experience as an expert witness should be able to spot that an American online University, that is accredited in Liberia and asks for a large sum of money is not all it might claim to be?

10.000 people bought these degrees! Sweet sum of money for the distributors.... guess they will spend a couple of years in jail and then go strait to Hawaii to spend what is left on yellow cocktails with funny straws!:-)

Recently a Preston University (US) had made stories in newspapers in Singapore. But sometimes I really get a sense of futility about graduate studies, and possibily even undergrad studies. Let's forget about the degree mills, nowadays so many universities offer so many programmes, giving qualifications to so many people, ending in a situation where almost everyone is a MSc/MBA/PhD....so what's the point...the value of these qualifications have debased so seriously that I come to doubt the meaning of this all....we are living in the best of times, and the WORST of times!
