But how do you make employers aware of these studies and the quality of online education? The big question in everyone’s mind is, “Is an online degree from an accredited college or university seen by potential employers as a lesser degree?” The jury still seems to be out on this.

It may require some technological know-how, current computer equipment, and a lot of self-discipline, but it is definitely easier and more effective than it used to be. How do you convince someone evaluating your credentials that your master’s degree, earned late nights in front of your computer or sitting in airports, was as rigorous and thorough as one earned the old-fashioned way?

As more and more people get online degrees and use them in the workforce, HR managers and hiring managers will begin to feel more secure about the quality of education these people have. This perhaps follows the idea that people seeking graduate degrees are doing it online because it’s their only or best option due to current job demands.

Although you can do many of these tasks yourself, some people aren’t aware of this or think it’s more difficult than it is. Laptops, personal computers, mobile phones, USB sticks, sim cards, floppy disks and hard drives have all been used in the past to prosecute people who have tried to defraud their insurance companies. We deserve to know what actions the FDA is going to take against that employee who notified Pfizer. Or to notify the public that this is the proper behavior by FDA employees receiving whistleblower complaints is to take actions to get the whistleblower fired. My suggestion is that, in addition to the allegations in this article, the FDA should solicit a list of irregularities via an open public process to ensure that all of the key allegations are considered and investigated in order to restore trust in the system. He can open an official FDA investigation into allegations of fraud in the Pfizer trial and produce a written report responding to each allegation. Pfizer was able to get the judge in her case to stay discovery for 6 months so an FDA investigation is the only way to compel discovery. An admission in a court like this of fraud is surely grounds for an investigation. There are dozens of articles like this one that highlight irregularities in the data that need to be investigated.

In Sri Lanka the jewelry scam takes place more or less in a similar way like in Thailand. Some criminal fraud statutes might be classified under laws forbidding larceny, others under forgery, and others as a crime covered by laws regarding a specific industry, like insurance or banking laws. In criminal law, fraud usually takes very specific forms, such as bankruptcy fraud, credit card fraud, or healthcare fraud. For example, in California law, a false promise is only fraudulent if the promisor intended both not to perform on the promise and also that that the promisee would rely on the promise; and, the promisee must have reasonably relied on the promise and been harmed as a result of that reasonable reliance. California law, for example, also recognizes distinct crimes for check fraud, access card fraud, insurance fraud, and making false financial statements. Constructive fraud Law, an act, statement, or omission which operates as a fraud, although perhaps not intended to be such.

Once the jury decides that an opinion qualifies as a misrepresentation of fact under the circumstances, the plaintiff must still demonstrate all of the other elements of an intentional or negligent misrepresentation already described, such as reasonable reliance and resulting harm. Another is the so-called confidence game (q.v.), which involves not only a misrepresentation of fact but also the betrayal of confidence induced by the offender in the victim. Financial fraud occurs when someone uses deception or misrepresentation for financial gain. In civil litigation, allegations of fraud might be based on a misrepresentation of fact that was either intentional or negligent. In California, for example, a jury may be instructed that an opinion can be considered a representation of fact if it is proven that the speaker “claimed to have special knowledge of the subject matter” that the listener did not have; OR that the representation was made “not in a casual expression of belief, but in a way that declared the matter to be true;” OR if the speaker was in a position of “trust and confidence” over the listener; OR if the listener “had some other special reason to expect” the speaker to be reliable.
