It's not that the diploma is "fake or not". The diploma is a real document that came from what appears to be a legitimate educational source. The point of the matter is the degree of credibility or recognition of the document (diploma in this particular situation) towards it being considered a qualifying subsitute for an actual high school diploma. In this case again the diploma was not accepted as representing and education foundation that meets the receiving parties criteria and as such and in this particular case, they refused its credibility and labeled it a "fake".

Such a diploma is really only a tool to use for mature students to show prospective continued educational sources that you have obtained a base level of curiculum exposure and the SCI brochure should have stated this. I know that the selling agents will say almost anything to sell the product so it is very important that the purchaser be very prudent when examining the documentation and to obtain some opinions from prospective employers or schools in this matter to see how they react before enrolling.

this place was a complete rip off i never signed a contract like everyone else said and when i did try to contact someone they were very rude with me, i contacted the BBB about them to find out the are really from Canada ?!?!?!? i was never told that!!! so i had to make a complaint through Canada which by the way was a VERY expensive phone call, and i filed a complaint online too. I did everything like the jerk told me on the phone to do when i called to cancel the program was to fax them a letter saying you are canceling the program and return the materials back within the 30 days, now 4 years later these people are still sending me letters about i owe them a debt this place was a complete scam.
