Online diploma mill: US newspaper reveals yet another Axact fraud

KARACHI: A US newspaper has revealed that Must University, a fake degree mill of Axact, used the address of a postal company in San Francisco for correspondence.

The report published in the San Francisco Chronicle said that, Must, claiming to be World's largest university, used to sell bachelors degree for US$14,400 and masters degree for $12,000.

A victim of Axact fake-degrees scam Albert Barnes of Baltimore was given bachelors degrees for 3,000 dollars.

The newspaper further revealed that when Albert contacted Must for degree verification, it demanded $9000 more after which the victim approached the authorities to look into the matter.

"After the investigation, it came to light that Must University had no existence and the postal address which was given on its website was of a mail forwarding company.

The chat service and phone number of Must University had been suspended after Declan Walsh had exposed the Pakistan-based fake degree factory in a story published in The New York Times.
