Did you know in 2005 more than forty high-ranking government officials were found to hold fake degrees issued by fraudulent online colleges? These officials included a nuclear scientist, a member of the Bush White House staff, and a homeland official in charge of national security clearances.

To combat online ed fraud, GetEducated offers a free online college accreditation verification service, The Diploma Mill Police.
This unique service is offered 100% free to the public by our founder, Vicky Phillips, a former college registrar who's researched degree mills for Forbes, Wired, Fortune, and the US Dept. of Education.

Last year, the DMP warned more than 4000 potential online students about Internet scams. In an effort to double the number served our counselors have designed an affiliate link program. The University of Wisconsin Distance Education Clearinghouse, Dr. Baker's Guide to Christian Distance Education, Online Degree Reviews, ELearn Space community, and Dr. Tom O'Connor's Mega-Links to Criminal Justice have already joined as Diploma Mill Police Deputy Affiliates. Cheers to these quality informational sites for helping keep the Internet safe for online learning!

Online degree fraud hurts everyone. We need your help to end these scams. We especially need your help if you operate a trustworthy .edu or .org site that chronicles resources on any aspect of distance education.

Link your site to the Diploma Mill Police and receive a referral link in kind from our educational clearinghouse. PLUS register as an official Deputy Affiliate by May 15th and be entered to win a $200 Barnes & Noble Gift Certificate.
