How many doctors, plumbers, carpenters, teachers and lawyers have this type of
bogus qualification? I keep getting this unsolicited e-mail in my in box. LIME must have changed their settings. Normally, their filters remove such obvious invitations to fraud from the server long before Outlook Express downloads them to my computer.
I have been patiently deleting the messages. But, they are getting more frequent, and annoying. The last one read:
BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT!
Is your lack of a degree holding you back from career advancement?
Are you having difficulty finding employment in your field of interest because you don’t have the paper to back it up – even though you are qualified?

Call us right now for your customized diploma: Inside U.SA.: 1-718-989-5746 Outside
Just leave your NAME & TEL. PHONE # (with country-code) on the voicemail and one of our staff members will get back to you promptly!
You have got to wonder. How many frustrated, ambitious but unqualified, persons fall victim to this fraudulent invitation. It sounds so clean and above board. The reality is just the opposite. It is an invitation for the unqualified to put money into these tricksters’ pockets. In exchange for the fee you get a bogus degree to add to your name. The hope is that you might be able to fool your employer into accepting, and paying you a higher salary than you would otherwise be entitled. In the USA or Europe there are agencies we can use to quickly find out who has a real qualification from who has gone to one of these diploma mills for a worthless certificate.
But, here in the West Indies who is our consumer watchdog? Who is our standard setter?
We do not even measure the amount of gasoline coming out of the pumps. Never in the history of Anguilla has any shop’s scales been tested by the non-existent Weights and Measures Officer.
There is no one, of course. Take no qualifications at their face value. You better check everything for yourself. There is no one you can rely on to do it for you.
Meanwhile, I have taken my own steps to block this unwanted invitation from showing up in my in box again.
