Throw the book at fake university degree scammers

Hundreds of Malaysians have reportedly bought fake university degrees from scam artists in a multimillion-ringgit business. Most involve foreign “universities”, with 20 fake degrees from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Similar developments 10 years ago involved fake MBAs and postgraduate degrees from fictitious universities abroad. Such scams are unlike others because the fake graduates had willingly and knowingly purchased counterfeit material.
