Non-accredited is the operative word.

Is it ethical? Nope.

Ohhhh...non-accreditted.

Basically this is a company that makes up diplomas from fake universities with the intent of saying, &quot;Yo, I have real life experience...I went to Common Sense Community College...see what I mean?&quot; Damn, thats shifty...

Think the names of the universities are like Havard, Yalle, Colombea, Stanferd, M.l.T., etc.?

This is a normal email account, its my email that is only posted here, at agn2, and given to family and friends. I hardly even use this email when signing up for stuff...usually I use an old email addy or my hotmail account.

Argh...

i've lost track of how many times i have received that diplomas email message. it really bugs me especially since they'll just change their bogus email address so the block sender feature won't do any good. and it really bugs me since most people i know (myself included) worked for our diplomas.

Haha, thats funny. Its nice to know I'm not the only one getting them. Two of my 4 email accounts have been spammed. I get that stuff and &quot;CABLEDESCRAMBLER&quot;, &quot;HI! REMEBER ME?&quot;, etc. mail just like that. I just leave it there. Some of them actually entices me enought to make me read them. There was one that i recieved that I sent myself!

I think you should get your PhD. from them and go teach at the Creation Science Institute. You could then teach us all real biology.

I live in Dallas so thats a local call. I dialed it and....

&quot;Thank you for calling the University Degree Program. If you know your party's extension dial it now. Or, wait till this message is over and leave a brief message with 2 working phone numbers, one to reach you during the daytime and one during nights and weekends. Make sure you leave a working area code!!&quot;

I hung up after that.
