OK, the fake degree spam we get a couple of times a day here is clearly intended for a Chinese audience, so I doubt this warning (in English) will do any good to the sort of mug who might buy such things. But I thought it was interesting anyway:
I was listening to the radio a few minutes ago, and there was a programme on that was discussing an interesting, though very logical, twist in this scam market: if you buy a fake degree it is presumably to get yourself a job. But that means that the seller has a list of people whose careers depend on nobody knowing that their degrees are fake, and who are therefore vulnerable to blackmail. And that can be much more lucrative than just selling fake degree certificates...
Caveat emptor - especially when the business is criminal to start with.
