Rashad Richey - Academic Fraud?

Think positive! You can find a lot of free courses there! - See: https://www.ce.ucf.edu/ucf/course/course.aspx?catId=124

 

I kind of wish the site was still active.

 

If you need more exposing fakers, may I suggest MarathonInvestigation who does excellent work detecting fakers (not just in marathons but all races.) These include people who "cut the course" to achieve faster or even Boston Qualifying (BQ) times, or lie about running records. Running is a hobby most people can enjoy and in many races you can get a finisher's medal regardless of your time, no need to embellish. They use chip times, Strava and Garmin information, social media posts, etc. to construct convincing cases.

This Ain't Hell (aka TAH) maintains a section called "Valor Guardians" or "Valor Vultures" on the appropriately named ValorGuardians.com. These are military imposters and fakers. Mostly people claiming membership in Special Operations Forces (SOF) organizations, but some others who claim to have participated in military operations they had not (deployment to Grenada, Iraq, etc.) are also exposed. They make a distinction between outright fakers who have no military service and those who merely embellish their previously honorable service but they look down on both.

 

I took a lot of grief from the diploma mill shills on another board because they were determined to disprove some statements I'd made about my career, insisting that I was exaggerating. I really hate slopping pigs.

 

TAH at least gets records from the National Personnel Records Center. Don Shipley, who has exposed a number of fake Navy SEALs (among others) uses an extensive network, usually sufficient enough to identify people who should have been in their BUD/S class and remember them, but don't. That combined with the NPRC records is usually proof-positive they didn't serve where they said. Unfortunately some people are so excited about the prospect of identifying stolen valor that they'll give grief to people who they only think have made mistakes (e.g. an old veteran who has medals they don't recognize or seems incongruous but were awarded due to service in unique circumstances.) That's frustrating, especially if they're just at a veteran's parade or something where people aren't walking around with their DD-214.
