    Not really, its easy to tell an authentic diploma from something printed at home. And where do you get transcripts to back it up. I know for a fact that my employer got official copies of my transcrips from my school, I have seen them.

    I agree with the fact that I don't condone lying. Under the circumstances however, I'm in a position where I had to try something. I've been studying for my ged and am confident I can pass it. It's just a matter of keeping it under wraps till then. No one knows I don't have it except my sister and that's also why I'm keeping my job location and school confidential even on these forums. Even if I was told by the company they didn't care or knew 100 percent they wouldn't check I still fully intend to get it. If for nothing else I want it for myself.

    this is a false statement. an employer cannot get your transcripts without you requesting them.

    No, it is not false, it was part of what I signed off on for the background check. Anyone can get them if you authorize them to

    you're funny as well. when I worked as a designer on nuke subs( not a joke) They could not get my transcripts without my requesting them. somehow I think the gov't contractors may have a bit more pull then a car dealership

    yes semantics. most people see the similarities between those two things.

    I apologize I phrased it incorrectly.

    point being a trucking co that merely asked if you had a GED cannot go finding your transcripts without you AUTHORIZING them to do so. by signing a formal request on their behalf

    True, but like I said a lot of people dont read what they sign. And they can find out if you have a ged or not without authorization
    Besides that responce was to chinatowns idea of getting a fake diploma, not to the op
