Stay away from instantdegrees.com
They sold me a degree ($130.00) from a university in Uk. I'm in the USA.
Nobody could locate the physical location of the actual university.
Now I have a degree that I cannot show off.
Instantdegrees.com will burn you!

How can you talk to somebody like that . What's wrong with you . This person was just venting it was no need for your nasty negative remarks . I hate people like that that get behind the screen and play a thug.

I am quite amazed that you would think that buying a degree online would be beneficial to you. What did you expect to do with it? Just in case you are willing to spend your money that irresponsibly, you can send me a check for $130 and I will send you a different "degree". Maybe that will make you feel better. You're an idiot.

I'm actually appalled that there are people willing to pay for a piece of paper saying they have a degree that they never actually earned.

What did you want to do with it? Be interviewed for a job then have them check your credentials only to find out you lied about having a degree, then either being rejected or fired because of it? They can do that you know, whenever you give a job information you sign saying what you told them is true. So it wouldn't have helped you out anyways and you could potentially set yourself up for future legal issues down the road if you continue to lie to such an extent.

Go to school and get an actual degree or take some certification classes so you have something. Don't try and scam your way into jobs because it won't work.

I got mine and it works just fine. I am a Business Owner and I also work in Administration outside of My business. What I'm "apalled" at is how much more I KNOW than those Who have Genuine Master's Degrees that They are still Paying on. While these Guys were in college getting Drunk and Bangin' freshman [censored]s in Cancun. I was building, establishing and Maintaining a successful business...They work for Me and I can tell You, theyr're so called "Education" hasn't given them the REAL Skills that You have to have to be a REAL Success here in the REAL World!..So, if anyone should have the right to be "Appalled" as some say, then I say be appalled that These "Real Degree" Jerk-offs killed waaayy too many brain cells and common sense with their "Partying" in College and it isn't only financially that they are paying for it now!...Is it "DUDE"?

I must say a military record is by far better than any collage degree these days..

Military means a few things, disipine, a respectful worker, a educated worker, a team player for the most part.

Colleage - equals one way of working I will watch you back cuz I am a member of the club and paid cash to be here and don't know jack about anything can't change my oil can't paint my house can't fix anything, I have seen it... yeah expections to every rule but really people just look at our government, and then look at private companies and see how many of the big CEO and Owner have colleage...

These weanies at these big corps play the game... take IT for example then need a IT GOVERNENCE CONCEL really? Yeah maybe for legal recourse but not to say how a IT dept and people should work, I give you GOOGLE MODEL on this one OR MICROSOFT back in the day... NO ONE HAS BROOM TO TOP SKILLS ANYMORE, its who you blew who your daddy is what school you went to... wake up America and realize what people really made and make this country great... Colleage, gimme a break! They hide behing that piece of paper like its a sheild, and can't do ### but talk a good game but don't know how to really work. The good old joke is they have meetings how true...

I was never one for someone paying there dues, but I really think more people need to, I can turn wrenches with the best of them and I don't even fix cars for a living, its called reading and research. Any one can really learn something and passion and love of job these days is what has ruined this corp system again think about it.. the big ones IBM and so forth did not have colleage folks in there big days... they had workers! No one wants to prove them selves they just want to watch each others backs...

KISS that is the best policy!

Miker2 and those who have bought their degrees, I totally support your thoughts..I personally didn't finish College, but I have succeeded through hard work which has allowed me to prevail, financially and systematically (I learned the system)..I have been in corporate america for over 25 years and have learned a lot more without a degree than with one...I always call it common and street sense...that is one thing they don't teach in College..it only looks good to management when an applicant reflects College Education, because they think they can work more efficient with less supervision because management is to lazy to train today...I use to work at a company 25 years ago that provided literally monthly training to keep employees skills up to date..or basically sharpen their tools sort to speak...it's all about the mighty buck today..so I am encouraging you all if getting that instant education or degree makes you feel good, go for it..

BWAHAHAHA damn [censored] bags! Regardless of what you actually gain from the college experience, it is needed to get ahead in life. I have a HARD time believing that the dumb @ss who 'owns his own business' has no true wealth or success. Bottom line, 98% of the time, without a degree you are worthless to these corporations. Better hope that the false degree people will give you recommendation when employers follow-up on your 'degree'. Lazy ### fat ### americans...

Lazy fat Americans lol you spund like an uneducated fool. Being lazy has nothing to do with it, money does. Not everyone can afford to go to school, if you dont have the money its hard.

I always say I was born at the wrong time, I have 19 years in my field. I get passed over for someone with a degree that knows nothing of what I do. My career path does not have a degree nor college courses. So how do I get picked over when I have hands on?

Honestly I want someone with hands on and im not just saying that because I donthave a degree. College does not mean your smarter than me, it means you had $50, 000 to pay for a piece of paper.

I started entry level and worked my way up. It kills me when I interview for jobs that states degree or on the job training. I always reach the top two then get passed over for the person with the degree.

A piece of paper doesn't make you better or smarter. I worked just as hard and deserve the job just as much as the person with the degree.

Gone the days of starting out sweeping the floor to being top level.

As someone who has spent 27 years in the security & private investigation field, I simply did not have the time to go to university for four years and listen to some professor telling me what I already knew. I run a growing agency and know more than enough about criminals and what makes them tick. So why not go to instant Degrees to get my bachelor of science in Criminology? I don't need it to find another job, but it does just put the "icing on the cake" regarding my career choice!

Warnings: " instantdegrees.com is 50% legit based on 2 areas. ( and i know some Top Secret infos that none of you talk about ).

#1- Instant Degrees - Legit for the Self-employed established individuals for ( office decorations, business cards...etc).

I don't have angry words, or insults, but I would like to point out two things. First, I read a couple people saying this, but it can't be emphasized enough, lots of people can't afford college. Loans are impossible to get if you had the type of irresponsible parents who ruin your credit before you are even a teen. I hate to sound patronising, but some of you seem to think everyone has a good healthy upbringing. Top that off with a f*** up family meaning it's hard to get great grades regardless of intelligence if you're having to watch siblings who your drugged and drunk parents are neglect, and generally taking care of what should be their responsibilities, so no scholarships. Messed up family doesn't always mean dirt poor though, so you may not get all the "helpful" programs out there either. So please don't assume everyone had your wonderful life growing up. Secondly, up until the late eighties and early nineties you could start at the bottom, without a degree, and work your way to a higher point, experience making up for, and honestly, serving you better than a piece of paper. Obviously a medical doctor, or engineer is a job that actually calls for the class learning as well, but don't say being a cubicle rat or middle to upper management does. Major company CEOs have been caught lying about experience, so why can't someone who isn't actually RUNNING EVERYTHING do something like that? Incompetence will get you fired if you can't do it, and competence will keep things as they are. Think of the people you've worked with who have degrees and you can tell they learned NOTHING from school.

Any "degree" through instantdegree.com or any other site that takes your money sends you the "credentials" in a few days is not legitimate and in many areas is illegal to use. There have been many people prosecuted for attempting to use degrees from these instant sites to advance in their employment. It is considered fraud. Don't be scammed by these people. None of those so called universities through instantdegree.com are legitimately accredited. The old saying goes "if it's too good to be true it probably is".

Interesting enough I have one of those "FAKE" degrees and I did not need it to obtain my job where I make "SIX" figures. However, I did open a side business working for myself and guess what? I hired myself and accepted my "FAKE" degree. So i clearly did a background check on myself and I was clean.

There is alot of people who appear to be bitter over spending thousands of dollars for a degree to hang on the wall but still have a low paying job. It is also important to note that degrees from other countries are not illegal just not recognized as accredited. It is clear that being "Accredited" is voluntary in accordance with laws set forth in the development of higher education. However, if someone with 27 years of experience would like a degree confirming all that hard work and time versus sitting in class for years only to learn nothing and remain "GREEN" when they graduate...so be it but not for those who have spent their life building experience from real life.

If you are not using your degree to lie or cheat your way into a job that clearly says a "accredited" degree is required then who are you harming? No One since again being accredited is voluntary. Is it a Diploma Mill so some...Yes, is it validation for 27 years of hard work and dedication to your craft for someone who has been working hard to all those years to actually get some credit for their work...then NO...it is as legal as your Birth Certificate to that person.

Real communication of a real shop with instantdegrees.com

ME WHIT THE CONTACT IN INSTANTDEGREES.COM:
Hi,
It already arrived,

Please, what´sthe supposed web page of Canterbury University? I do not care or I canaccept accreditationn situation but I at least need avalid web pagee, it must be complete, with a list of online studies including the one I have in the diploma (International Studies, doctorate) so I could show anybody that reallyis possiblee to enroll inthat supposed trainingg.

Anyway, the quality of the diplomais awfull, common paper, bad quality of the holographic seal, no names onthe signatures.

Anybody I would show the diploma would tell me even from 5-6 yardsthat obviouslyy is a false one. In this state of the situation, your service is not valid forany purposee.

Please, I´m open to see how we can arrange the situation,

Thanks in advance,

RESPONSE:

Hi,

Please, PLEASE ... do not ... DO NOT criticise the quality of the degree diploma you have received.

With respect, the very fact that you have done so is proof positive that you do not know what you are talking about!

It is not my intention to be disrespectful, but only a person who knows nothing about genuine university degree diplomas could write sucha statement.

The degree you have not only MEETS but also EXCEEDS current academic NORMS in earned diploma quality.

FURTHER, it meets every criteria listed in the FAQ and TOS which you declared under pain of perjury that you had read, understood and agreed to when you applied.

http://www.instantdegrees.com/faq.html#Will the institution have a website?

Will the institution have a website?
Yes of course. All the schools we represent have an online presence which can range from a simple Alumni Association website to an Online Study Portal, depending on the degree of importance the individual institution places upon a web presence to deliver its Distance Program content.
Distance Programs are not restricted to a web presence as a delivery means and utilize a range of media which includes correspondence by regular mail, email, text, phone, FAX, DVD, video conferencing and Portfolio Assessment.
In general the institutions have low internet profiles and their web presences are commensurate with the principle that they do not offer their programs direct to the public.

MY RESPONSE:

I god valid (with real studies and exam) CISA, CISM and ISO 9001 valid diplomas and had nothing to do with it (paper, quality of seals, had no signatures without names on it..)

But anyway, forget about the diploma...

What about the web page of Canterbury University and the link to international business studies on it?

Thanks,

If you have a real degree and it's not working try one of theirs. Maybe make your Associates degree A bachelor's or a masters in the same field since you hold plenty of knowledge now. It's work experience that will round out your degree their are plenty of Entrepreneurs that have no need for one but get them because life knowlegde has made them the expert in their field so this is their degree sometimes earned much harder than the 100k one. I say to each their own whatever works sometimes even degreed people have no clue how to apply that knowledge to real work at first . Fake it till you make it. If your smart won't take long. Life's short make the best use of your time! That being said a degree shows something important to employers and that's the dedication commitment resolve to get [censored] done... Aloha

Don't be jerk if your knowledge small just like amoeba and your brain like prehistoric primitive animal brain(To all people who didn't provide informational sources and blame people as idiot even they didn't even know what they meant to)... Yes, depends on what and where you want to go, in real or physical university if you take math and business then you can't work as medical laboratory specialist, you have to choose a job and where the university recognized and accredited, for example if you live in Malaysia and be Malaysian Citizen and you went to U.S to study in business field in University of XYZ don't be shocked if you can't get a job if you back to Malaysia even University of XYZ legit, accredited just like Havard University and well-known worldwide.
This is because the government didn't verify and not recognized to government, recognization in Higher Malaysia Education mean the ministry panel and quality panel inspect the university and make sure the guideline meet what the government want, basic standard rules and a few others and this is about politics and influence the same student(you) went to Australia and can get some good jobs using the same degree...

BUT...I saw different things in U.S... Yes, U.S is cruel and some can't survive and they have been brainwashed for a long time into some hype and make sure they can live, see and walk but like living in golden cell, hype big pharma increase and medical bill ridiculous, hunting you to your tombstone...

"There is the truth lay in lies but not necessarily the truth will always be the truth, they have mixed it into 2 elements and both that elements does have both...IF you live longer you know what I mean..."

In the world, even physical university education smoking and drive you live in debt after debts, they scammed the student and make student as continuous income stream, other individual like this list of folks, the government, small company, private company, doctor, lawyer, audit and others make sure the student invest as much as they can and give them money...If you think online degree just a scam, then physical degree also just a scam...What they teach you in University, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.buy more, buy even more, buy most, buy all service even a crap one. Knowledge and University other things...University life like rushing and reckless and you have to do as fast as you can and as good as you can and you don't have time for some other things... I call University as Mindwarping and Brainwashing Institute, induce you to the path of the authority want and other things want.. You will learn skill when you stumbled upon something and problem but University just provide proof on piece of paper.

In U.S, if the company refuse to give you a job, then you can find other ton more company and make sure you know a bit what the field you know most and you loved most and not all company will reject you...AND no strict accreditation like in Malaysia ...
Even if you apply with physical university degree, not all company accept you and they don't pay your salary with a high price and can cover your student loan.

Be the freelancer and get your own experience and get a job with company can hire you... $130 not a big deal if you want some replicas to boost your self-esteem, if other people jeered at you because of this, that is about mentality and online degree not bad. Then, if other people or company find you as worthy this is your chance... Don't like fast degree ? or don't want to test it scam or not, then get long-distance learning from reputable university and just like real physical college.

This degree legit but for some purpose and not legit for others even if you obtain degree from Sudan, some company skeptical to pay you and work with them.

Oh yeah, a Military record is worth so much! Oh wait, no it's not! Military, just means you think everyone owes you something because your a "Iraq war vet" even though all you did was enlist during war time and have everything given to you by taxpayers for free. Prior Military are the true lazy ###s who never earn anything. I enlisted as a infantryman as soon as we went into Iraq, got deployed, spent my time ridding around with guys who think they're badass just because they wear camo, came home after not ever seeing action and I'm thanked all the time for being a war vet. Oh, did I mention that I also was made a sergeant while I was deployed? Yeah it's that ###ing easy! I would never hire ex Military because they think they're owed the job, even though they don't know their ### from their ###!

This service is as good as YOU are.
If you truly know the subject matter, then the degree WILL open doors.
It worked for me.
I have extensive sales experience and have worked independently in sports and entertainment on/off for years.
When I decided to seek work in those industries I received no response to my resume even though I knew that my experience was way above people working in those industries as PR specialists.
I purchased the degree and then did my own, at home schooling in the subject to add to my experience.
I resubmitted my resumes to companies that had never responded, and in two months I was offered a job with a sports and entertainment promotion company, which I accepted.
About a year later the CEO found out about my "degree".
Guess what? It was not detrimental.
My knowledge and experience was up to grade and he accepted my answer that I needed this "degree" to have a chance to prove myself.
I am now making six figures at this CAREER.
So, to all U "haters", if you are well educated in the subject and get the degree from this OUTSTANDING service, you just might have the same opportunity I was given.

I used to be one of those who thought education and college was essential and I sought education throughout my life. At 18, a college professor told me it's not where I went to college but what I did wherever I went. I eventually learned that the objective was to LEARN and if you have a love for learning it's easier. I have two degrees, both obtained from military service. I have a love for learning and learning can be obtained from anywhere, accredited or not accredited. All my kids are graduated from or doing well in college after attending home schooling (unaccredited) and are far more advanced than those who attended the accredited public schools based on the standardized testing. Now, 40 years later, I understand that learning can be had anywhere and that should be recognized and credit given as appropriate on a case by case basis. Should a person be given credit for just buying a degree without the proper and true credentials? NOOOOOOOO, but learning, knowledge, experience and acquired skills are valid regardless of accreditation/not accredited. My advise as a long tome business owner now is to LEARN ON and pursue your passion.
