I hear lots of English speaking ex patriots in Korea have fake degrees. Something like 40%!!! I am curious how and where do you get these? How much do they cost? Is it through the internet or from Thailand?

I am curious for trivia purposes only Smile Not condoning illegal activity!

I make them in my basement. PM me if you want to take a look at some great deals. I'm having a 50% off sale on all Linguistics degrees this coming weekend.

40%?

Wow, you must believe everything you read in the Korean media!

Do you believe that Korea is also "Dynamic"?

Maybe even "Sparkling"?

Pull your head out of it! Are you serious?
You actually believe that 40% of teachers here are presenting fake degrees? Really?
Are you also afraid to sleep in a closed room with an electric fan turned on?
Do you also believe that those vibrating machines that they are selling on the infomercials actually contribute to weight loss?

Perhaps it's more like the Korean Professors who claim to have legit degrees don't? Laughing

Do you have a link to your info?

I think people acquired them in Thailand. That NYC doorman who was working as an english prof at Konkuk got his there. I highly doubt it's 40%. Especially these days. Immigration has figured out the major diploma mills. They're aware of what "university" you went to via your visa application. And when they find out fakes, they make a periodic sweep. It ain't worth it.

I'm sorry everyone but I have gone out of business. It seems that everyone now has a BA degree from a college and I can't sell my fake degrees anymore because too many people have real degrees Sad

Well it's back to my old trade. Selling what people skii upon.

I am never the one to ask such a question; but Svetlana, where did you get your data to come up with that 40% number of teachers in Korea have fake degrees?

I feel that number is alittle high, considering all the checks and balances the Korean government supposedly has to weed out all the bad teachers in Korea.....


though interesting to read............
