    Well, it seems that our friend who sells the fraudulent degrees of Ratchford University (the nonexistent school claimed to be in Cleveland, but actually operated from the South) has redone his website, and signed up for a new URL.

    But... unbeknownst to him (until now), he screwed up, and there's a reference in the new website that makes it clear where he stole the content and text.

    I'm not going to provide the service of telling him where it is... but a copy of the site, along with that info, has been provided to the school from which the information was stolen.

    And, of course, the site has already been safely mirrored in its entirety and is being provided to the deputy assistant AG in the state where the individual actually resides (which he thinks we don't know...)

    So... for anyone even remotely thinking of a Ratchford degree... or, for that matter, any fraudulent credential, think again. These guys eventually get nailed, and a lot of reputations get destroyed in their wake.

    Particularly when many people can earn a *legitimate* bachelor's degree in just a few weeks or months through portfolio and exams, it's silly to risk one's integrity on one of these scams.

    And in case anyone else noticed, this is most likely the reason for the current spam-fest going on in a.e.d.

    Heck, even if it takes 3 or 4 *years*, you won't ever have to defend it and you might actually learn something.

    There is no reason to use one of these "schools." This is particularly true at the undergraduate level where there are so many, many choices that are regionally accredited, probably less expensive, and offer you the option of continuing your education at the graduate level. I'm guessing that there are few grad schools that will accept degrees from Ratchford (or any of the others in this category).
