NEW YORK: The famous newspaper New York Times who reveled alleged fake degree scam of Pakistan’s IT company Axact, now claimed that it is very hard to believe that Pakistan government was unaware of the major scam.
The newspaper said that but ignorant or not, the government, which raided Axact’s offices on Tuesday, had little choice but to act after a report by Declan Walsh in The newspaper which disclosed clear connections between Axact and at least 370 education websites, many of which claimed to represent online universities and high schools based in the United States.
The scam had existed for years and reaped many millions of dollars.
It further claimed that the bogus degrees and predatory schools go well beyond one company in Pakistan.
Such a wide net of duplicity give Congress and federal regulators the incentive they need to become much more aggressive at exposing fraudulent companies that pose as legitimate schools for the purpose of selling bogus degrees or luring people into costly but useless courses that lead nowhere.
