called ethan turner or indeed any university called california poor when we searched for the address given on the website we ended up at what appears to be a mexican butcher shop i would say it's only obvious when you start to scratch i was shocked at how obvious it was after just a very small amount of scratching below the surface dramatic university claim studying he would bring you a step closer towards professional excellence and features a glowing testimonial from one of its students turnout was an awesome experience for me i was able to earn my keep still and leadership and education administration but when we checked out dream address instead of an impressive university campus we found it. schock. the common denominator between these websites is a company called x. act the exact world's leading i teach company founded as a the first time i heard about exact words from

12:29 pm
convicted of any crimes if that i know has been committed. then it has to be proved that it has to be mccain that is has to be sure indeed. this is unfair unjust. but when the pakistani authorities raided access's offices in may twenty fifth jane they found a mountain of compelling evidence. there were hundreds of thousands of blank degree certificates lists of hundreds of fake universities thank you count showing payments amounting to millions of dollars and tens of thousands of names and contact details the customers around the world. there are also recordings of hundreds of hours of phone calls where representatives of the fake universities demand payments from often terrified customers that you just pay an amount of and dollars budget to small amount you're actually putting at great
