We've all faked it.

Whether once or twice or a few dozen times — be it through forced smiles or forged signatures, replicated art pieces or plagiarised papers, fake IDs or fake orgasms — we have all faked our way through social occasions, conversations, professional ladders and — if one can bring an honest admission of ribaldry here — sexual situations, where faking it is a lot more helpful than making it.

And, if anyone tells you they have never faked anything in the pure journey that is their saintly life, they're lying through their teeth.

Faking a degree is altogether different business.

Recently, in Pakistan, a detailed report written by The New York TimesPakistan Bureau Chief Declan Walsh claimed how local IT company Axact allegedly earned millions of dollars from scams involving fake degrees, non-existent online universities and manipulation of customers.
