"DUBAI, 29 December 2003 — Labor officials in the United Arab Emirates are looking at ways to curb a wave of forgeries of degrees and certificates following the introduction of tougher requirements for foreign workers. [...] Some business managers have admitted paying for forged certificates. They argue they cannot afford to hire staff who meet the requirements and fake certificates are their only option if they want their business to stay afloat." http://news.google.com/news?q=emirates+fake+degrees UAE to Clamp Down on Fake Degrees, Certificates
I heard people having Trinity College & University degrees here in the UAE. They are at high positions on some private companies. They availed that exclusive privilege of having a "US degree", but their employers were probably not aware that Trinity C&U is a diploma mill. Shame!!
TC&U operator Gus Payne has made a special effort to target that part of the world. http://www.arabacademy.com/partners_list_f.htm
That's their (here in UAE) preference -- "US degree", mill or whatever doesn't matter. Gus Payne will have good business in the Middle East.
