hey all. I heard about the news happened couple years ago that some guy sent fake degree and transcripts from overseas to a official apostille office to get apostiled but got caught up. thing poped up in my mind is that how the office caught if that was a forged paper. i don't think they call every schools or other department to verify every single item since there are thousands of paper works to be done. I guess they do certain kind of "RANDOM" check to verify if the paper is official. but if then why does it take a 10 service days to just stamp a paper? do they really check all of those numerous papers one by one? what you guys think about it? did he get caught because he is unlucky, or it's just the way it is to check every papers and office found out?
I don't see any post here, so I am not sure what the OP is, but "apostille" is generally used by people selling fake degrees, yes.
How many times do we gotta go through this? Déjà vu all over again! Here's an old thread with similar theme: http://www.degreeinfo.com/accreditation-discussions-ra-detc-state-approval-unaccredited-schools/32342-uk-apostille-better-than-usa-apostille.html Apostille - simply says document "is what it is" and not a forgery -e.g. that a Ph.D. diploma from "Old Fakeful U." was issued by the --uh, "school" -- not that the degree or the institution is/isn't any good.
