It's clearly a site designed to sell fake certificates to people who
want to lie about their qualifications to get jobs. The rest of it is
just flim-flam to disguise this.

Decent of them to tell me what I've got to look out for.

Indeed. But if these are as "genuine"-looking as they claim, surely the
various universities and similar bodies will at the very least have them
on copyright on the logos, if not actual forgery.

Unless of course the uni's accountants, these days, actually licence
such companies to use their logos, for a fee ...

Another layer of security you can adopt is to insist on phoning the bank back
to
verify that they are who they claim they are. If the person at the other end
gets stroppy at this, you know it genuinely is your bank. - Ian Shorrocks,

A Lot of Businesses and just about every Fake Degree & Novelty Sites choose Western Union & MoneyGram because its safe and due to what we sell many if not all credit card merchant accounts and services will NOT allow the use or purchase of fake degrees or in other terms novelty items
Western Union & MoneyGram being unaware of the true purchase attentions of the customer (you) may advise that (you) the customer use PayPal for such a transaction. It should be understood that PayPal does not in any way allow the sale or purchase of fake degrees or novelty items or any term thereof.
Yet they go on at length about other sites being scams and phony!

I suppose they are up front about them being fakes. Perhaps
theirs are genuine fakes?

You could probably do this yourself with a manual typewriter. I don't
think certificates were very fancy in the Older Days, IIRC. But don't
try adding Golf Course Management or Film Studies, that'd be a dead
giveaway.

What puzzles me is why anyone needs these certificates anyway. I don't
think I ever had to show any certificates to anyone, ever. I did have to
list my qualifications and grades quite frequently, and I assumed that
if a potential employer wished to check up on me, they'd contact the
awarding body or school/university rather than ask me for the paperwork.

But then if you've never actually passed any exams, you probably don't
know this.

I remember when house hunting being slightly surprised to see, in one
house I looked at, a couple of framed degree certificates (his & hers)
from I forget which university hung on the entrance hall wall. It had
never occurred to me to do anything like that. I'm tempted to display my
25 yards swimming in similar fashion. (But I never have strangers visit
the house, so what's the point?)

Cycling Proficiency was my most impressive certificate ever; it

If McT has an actual *certificate* for this I don't think I've seen it -
but its certainly one of the very few qualifications he has.

I think the captain just typed it on a piece of paper. I'm not sure
if there was an official one. I should have it somewhere but can't

The helmsman wouldn't stop it. I suppose the captain would move the
indicator thing to stop and the engineroom would then stop the
engines. But I did drive it out through the coins(not sure how to
spell them, the narrow bit coming out of the Gulf.

I got my steering ticket on a 200,000 ton tanker.
When I had a summer job at a (canal) boatyard, many years ago, one new
hirer picked up tiller steering a narrow boat almost instantly. I
checked that my information that he'd never done this before was true,
and he told me that he was a tanker skipper.

It wasn't so much the tanker steering (although the boats are pretty
much to scale) but the tiller steered lifeboat drill that had helped!

At Falmouth Maritime Museum there is a simulator, complete with
tiller, for you to have a go. I managed without major mishap,
though the screen display wasn't particularly helpful. BOFE found
it a lot harder, demonstrating a classical under damped control
loop.

I might have had a chance to try it for real when on my brother's
narrowboat last December, but they were iced in when we visited.

Flashing about my steering cert I also got to drive one of the Thames
pleasure boats when friends hired one for a private party and a boat
around the canals in Amsterdam (because I was the only one sober
enough to drive it by 4.a.m).

display wasn't particularly helpful. BOFE found it a lot harder,
demonstrating a classical under damped control loop.
Was she pleased to be told that?
Shall we just say that a full technical explanation, though not
unexpected, might not have gone down too well at the time, on top
of frustration with the simulator.

But I think you knew that ;-)

control loop
I had an e-mail from Apple this morning and for some reason it rather
tickled me that their address is 1 Infinite Loop. I don't suppose they
are very amused that the next bit of their address begins MS!

It was really easy to get Cupertino to name a street at their request.
And "MS" in this case means "mail stop", an "internal to the company
mail address".

OTOH, there are still a few streets around named for defunct banks.

There's still a Stalin Rd in Colchester. I was surprised they hadn't changed it
yet back in 1972, but it's still there.

Cycling Proficiency was my most impressive certificate ever; it
went slowly downhill from there, culminating with a degree
certificate of unbelievable mediocrity.
my least impressive looking certification was my (post graduate)
diploma in computer science (1968). looked as if it was torn off a
large roll of similar paper, and then typed on.

My Eur Ing certificate is very impressive - something between A4 and A3,
landscape and subtly coloured with swirling light blues, greens, etc. I
had it framed although I can't quite remember where it is at the moment.

Looking at the FEANI web site, the current certificates are plain and
rather boring.

What puzzles me is why anyone needs these certificates anyway. I don't
think I ever had to show any certificates to anyone, ever. I did have to
list my qualifications and grades quite frequently, and I assumed that
if a potential employer wished to check up on me, they'd contact the
awarding body or school/university rather than ask me for the paperwork.
I remember when house hunting being slightly surprised to see, in one
house I looked at, a couple of framed degree certificates (his & hers)
from I forget which university hung on the entrance hall wall. It had
never occurred to me to do anything like that. I'm tempted to display my
25 yards swimming in similar fashion. (But I never have strangers visit
the house, so what's the point?)
I once visited a house where a very large dining room table was covered
with all sorts of certificates of the family's achievements, topped with
a sheet of glass. Saved on frames, I suppose.

When I became a professor I was awarded a medal. (It was a great
challenge not to giggle during the ceremony.) I have never had occasion
to wear it, which seems rather a pity. Perhaps I should frame it and
hang it in the hall.

I went to rehearse in a house where there were two or three daughters
each of whom had been taking music exams on at least two instruments.
In the corner where the small grand piano sat, there were framed
certificates on the wall, the current highest grade for each girl and
each instrument, with a small photo of the girl and her instrument at
the time of the grade tucked into the corner of each. I thought it
looked rather impressive.

Yes, it's strange, isn't it - I wouldn't dream of displaying my
sustificates, even if I knew where they were, nor putting letters after
my name on a business card, unless they were completely relevant to my
profession.. IYSWIM. Mind you, I don't like putting a title in front of
my name, either (That's Mrs, Miss or Ms, not Yer Hon) and I think I
would only put Dr there if I were a medical one.

his pride by muttering "B.A. - stands for Bugger All".

That's where I've got my long-service certificate from the OU - I was quite
chuffed to get that, as just after I'd retired they changed the rules so
that breaks in service (of up to 5 years) were allowed. I had done over 30
years, but had had a year off 24 years earlier, when we moved from Milton
Keynes to Humberside, so didn't qualify under the old rules.

It is quite a nice certificate!

I went for a superb weekend at RAF Biggin Hill - Officers and Air Crew
Selection Centre when I was 16 to try for a scholarship. The GCE
certificates were not yet available so I had my headmaster list them
(on Northallerton Grammar School headed notepaper) and sign it. That
little sheet of paper was far better than my fancy certificate. It
listed all the exams I had taken and the grades. It included my grade
8 (fail) in English Literature. When the certificate was eventually
handed over at speech day (Bishop of Durham, speaker) it only stated I
had acheived a pass in the following subjects.

given our exact marks out of 400 for each subject, not a grade, although
I think there was a "Distinction" level at some point. We were then told
how to convert these into English-style grades for the benefit of
English universities. That's how I know I never had to show the

My pet gripe with exam grading is that whereas when I sat 'A'
levels an 'S' level involved an extra paper and an enhancement
of the grade of the 'A' level, these days an 'AS' is *lower*
than an 'A' level. With 23 letters to choose from, you'd have
thought 'they' could have picked something that would not appear
to demean retrospectively the extra achievements of those who
attained 'S' levels.

i went through quite a long time completely misapprehending as-levels,
for precisely this reason.

now i understand the things, i'm inclined to think they're one of a
long line of government actions which confuse exam results with
education.

Hazel's degree does.

Its sitting in a very natty folder in a drawer by my left leg produced
while she was still at school for holding such things as susstificate.
This very fancy folder was given to every child aged 16 cos the guvmint
said they were introducing something called the national record of
achievement. Somehow or other Hazel managed to get two of these snazzy
folders (can't remember how: right and left hands I think) and with all
the fancy different things she's done so far - even down to the elf and
safety susstificates, fit nicely into these two folders.

*And* I know where our very few susstificates are: in an old LP case on
top of what was originally someone's clothes cupboard behind my right
shoulder. They certainly used to be shown to employers: not that I had
many employers (two in total) but I certainly had to show them. Of
course it also marked me out as taking GCEs with exam boards not where I
lived.

it. I can't think *and* edit y'know. :-)

If Turnpike didn't have a spill chucker you woudln't be making sense of
anything I wrote.

Sincerely Chris

Its sitting in a very natty folder in a drawer by my left leg
produced while she was still at school for holding such things as
susstificate.
Your left leg wasn't produced until Hazel was at school - and you keep
susstificates in it?

We produce hard to find documents from any year such as CELTA, DELTA,

100% SATISFACTION. Our UK novelty documents are designed to look 100%
authentic
I wonder how much money Pip has to waste on these if she is not
attending college anymore.
Shame they don't do Northern Universities Joint Matriculation Board
certificates.
I could do with adding a few more O levels onto my 1968 certificate.
You could probably do this yourself with a manual typewriter. I don't
think certificates were very fancy in the Older Days, IIRC. But don't
try adding Golf Course Management or Film Studies, that'd be a dead
giveaway.
What puzzles me is why anyone needs these certificates anyway. I don't
think I ever had to show any certificates to anyone, ever. I did have to
list my qualifications and grades quite frequently, and I assumed that
if a potential employer wished to check up on me, they'd contact the
awarding body or school/university rather than ask me for the paperwork.
A friend of mine works part time at a local university and was
involved in registration. She commented that the university demanded
original certificates from all the students - and it was a frequent
problem when students didn't have all the necessary paperwork.

My brother-in-law needed his degree certificate recently (it was either
when he was witness at a wedding or godfather at a christening, both in
Germany - can't remember which). He searched the house and eventually
rang his university to ask for a copy. They told him that his original
degree certificate was still waiting for him to collect. He is 65.

Forward it and the headers to ***@theplanet.net since he's on a static
IP and used a mass mailer program to post it.

If it had been legitimate then of course sarcasm and mocking :)
