Forums and fake degrees

Read on a health forum

“Hello,
I copied a friend’s diploma and changed his name to mine. The copy looks good and I would like to use it on my CV.
Do companies check diplomas? (It’s a government diploma) and what are the risks if they catch me?
I think they generally just ask for a copy (in that case, my forgery won’t be noticed). Will they be able to check the diplomas in that case?
Thank you for your answers!”

“With that nice little spleling mistake in your post, I hope you didn’t try to fake a baccalaureate or a teaching degree…

“You know, to each her own, and I didn’t force you to reply to my message! It’s terrible to have such a mentality!
I asked my question to open-minded people who could provide me the answers I was expecting!“

“You’re trying to make us laugh, I hope? In any case, it worked! You come here and pose a question, someone answers you and you ask us not to answer… The intensive care forum isn’t open but you’re not in the right place anyway.  Lastly, I’ll point out that even for vocational training certificate, you need to master French and spelling, and a word to the wise, it takes work to become a good fraud “

• Mina 2000:

“Oh! How I pity you! You’re unhappy people and you take it out on the first person who comes by?
I will tell you again that my question was meant for intelligent and open-minded people, I wanted to get different viewpoints on what I thought and not to be judged by pathetic people like you! Nothing to do with looking for people going in the same direction as me or having to justify myself because I made spelling mistakes! Good luck and go visit a psychiatrist! That’ll do you good!!!

“I’m going to tell you what I think of what you’re doing… you’re probably not running any risks and that’s a real shame!!
There are people who work hard to earn their degrees and you make a collage with a photocopier???? It’s incredibly unfair to the “real” bearers of that degree!!!!
Ill-gotten gains seldom prosper… even if an employer hires you because they think you have that degree, they’ll see from your incompetence that you don’t… good luck getting out of that situation and finding a job after that.”

• Imagination: 

“Why this animosity! You’re really the ones lacking in intelligence! You’re mean, you’re not trying to engage her in a discussion to explain to her that she’s making a big mistake by making a fake. you may have degrees and so that gives you the right in your eyes to judge and thereby condemn! the fact that you have degrees has not unfortunately brought you intelligence of the soul! Pathetic bunch of elitists”

“Thank you very much for your response!
I find that there a lot of biases here about my having made this diploma, but believe me I am not proud of it! It’s not my fault that I haven’t had the chance to continue my education like the majority of the people who are judging me without knowing my story!
Thank you anyway for your responses
