A massive education fraud ring in India has been exposed for selling counterfeit university degrees that enabled unskilled workers to score well-paying, mid-level technical jobs in the United States by abusing the H-1B program.
“Investigators have seized nearly 100,000 fake degree certificates and forged academic documents linked to at least 28 universities across India,” according to the American Bazaar.
The scammers reportedly sold the fake degrees for as little as $1,400 to Indian nationals who used their sham credentials to secure jobs in medicine, engineering, and nursing.
The fake degrees featured counterfeit university seals, fabricated certificates, and forged school transcripts, the American Bazaar reported.
One institution allegedly issued more than 36,000 sham degrees.
The implications of this scam are sickening. Not only does the systemic fraud enable the mass replacement of American workers, but it endangers public safety by hiring unqualified workers to fill technical jobs.
Is anyone surprised by this? Our own government and private institutions have become so corrupt, they hire liars who hire more liars. ABN
