About this episode
People claim degrees and credentials that they haven't earned. This could be for a number of reasons, whether professional or personal. In this episode, we speak with the Fake PhD Investigator, a person who uses OSINT to determine whether the doctorate degree that someone claims, has actually been conferred on them. This episode goes through the methodology, some stories and some of the reasons that someone might claim to have earned a doctorate degree when they actually have not.
