[iDC] A Modest Proposal: Let's get rid of the teachers

[Andreas Schiffler]

Hmm, I guess you are onto something there. :-)  

    WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
     
    We provide a concept that will allow anyone with sufficient work
    experience to obtain a fully verifiable University Degree.
     
    Bachelors, Masters or even a Doctorate.
     
    For US: 1.718.989.5746
    Outside US: +1.718.989.5746
     
    "Just leave your NAME & PHONE NO. (with CountryCode)" in the voicemail.
     
    Our staff will get back to you in next few days!


Found the above in my Junk folder - different number, same area code, 
and no teachers. And the quoting is worthy of a degree itself. Must be a 
sign of the times, that one seems to be able to buy your way out of 
anything.
