SWIM needs help to find a website offering fake degrees, GCSEs and A-levels that appear to be very genuine and relistic.

This is to show of to friends and no to gain advantages in a career.

What exactly are you looking for? What sort of qualification? Some places you can just select the same template as was used in the certificate and put in your own sig and logo. its good if you know generally how it should look. no-one looks twice if its just a paper on the wall.

CWG - In the UK a GCSE is a General Certificate of Secondary Education. A Levels are required in order to get further education, such as University or College.

Thank you for that. I thought he meant like trades certification and degrees. Is it possible for you to get a scan of a legitimate one?

You could get a scan but it would not look as genuine as the real thing, but you get people who make them as genuine as the real thing with the hologram and same card.

It is generally very easy to get a fake degree, but you have to live with a potential timebomb on your CV. You need a strong set of nerves and a contingency plan should you ever be found out.
There are lots of websites who offer 'Novelty' certificates. Though since this is not going be under as much scrutiny as say a birth certificate you might be able to make one up yourself. The main hurdle is what will happen when people try to verify the info, there are a few ways to do this.
If you're old enough you can make your degree from an institution that has shut down. When they shut down the records are usually transferred to a nearby institution. Though tracing it may prove to be too much of a headache for any potential employer so they may not bother.

You can browse through student lists from university's and find a person who shares your name then request a copy of their certificate (I think the term is actually Scripture, not sure) also you could use social engineering to get any student ID numbers or anything. Then pass the qualification off as your own and hope they don't check the DOB. This would be very time consuming.

I've read a few reports about corrupt university employees offering to put people in the system and get them legit certificates. This may cost a grand or two but is still cheaper than actually doing the course and of course you don't have to worry about the legitimacy of the certificate. The only downside is if the employee gets busted and rats out their customers or the feds/institution have a way of finding out who didn't earn their qualification.

Another alternative is 'leap-frogging' which is using a fake bachelors degree to get on a Masters course, then you would have a completely legit Masters. As long as you got on the course OK a university would have no reason to go back and re-check the validity of your credentials which is a worry every time you get a promotion or new job. Since employers would only check the validity of the Masters you should be in the clear.

A last resort could be to make up an institution, get a business mailbox with a street address and give it a name with 'Archives' in the title and put that information on the certificate so when they verify the info they'll actually be calling/writing you. This may work better if the mailbox is in another country which would explain why an employer hasn't heard of the institution you went to.

People have written books on 'unorthodox' ways to get a degree, these are widely available on Am@z0n etc. Maybe look into that. of course the biggest thing is to actually be an expert in what you want your degree in, getting a certificate that will fool people is one thing, tripping yourself up and causing suspicion is another.

Hope that helps,

Shackler.
