They are available for purchase on the web and includes a disclaimer stating they are ‘novelty’ items and not intended to buy you a way towards getting a job. Claiming a fake academic qualification is equivalent to holding on to a ticking timebomb where it could blow off at any given time. It could happen the moment a person claims the qualification or it could take years before it explodes taking away your career and reputation away.
