I've gotten something like this one before; it was from a place in Texas.
Sent it to the appropriate agency in Texas which started investigating the
scam. FWIW personnel departments smell these things a mile away. If it's
not from an accredited university, it's not even worth the ink used to
print it!
Worse yet are the claims of degrees never awarded. A friend saw his boss
bite the dust doing just that. He had worked there for at least a year.
When the company got suspicious and discovered he didn't have that MBA from
Stanford (nor had he ever gone to school there), they immediately locked
his office and he was out the door in less than an hour. It's truly
amazing what is claimed by some applicants on their resumes and even more
amazing is the look of surprise when they get nailed for it (doesn't
*everyone* do this? NOPE).
