An article in The New York Times details how Axact, a software company in Pakistan, operates a network of 370 websites that sell fake college and university degrees, earning the company millions of dollars a year. The websites feature videos with actors playing the parts of professors and others. The article quotes former employees as saying that the customers are a mix of people who know they are buying a fake degree and others who are duped into believing they are enrolling in legitimate institutions. A lawyer for the company denied that it was engaged in these activities and wrote to the Times that its reporter was “coming to our client with half-cooked stories and conspiracy theories.”
