Wouldn't you fail the background check?
Any organization is going to ask for a transcript if they 'really' want someone with a degree. You don't even need a full background check.
I have never once been asked to provide a transcript. Literally never. I also don't know anybody who has been asked to verify qualifications.
I'm sure it happens but it's not the standard.
Can't you fake a transcript? Like if they aren't going to check then a fake authentic looking transcript should work right?
You can get online official and physical official transcripts and, as stated previously, if the organization really wants that degree, they'll request it.
Like, yeah, you technically can fake it.
If you are comfortable committing mail fraud ya. Most places that require a transcript will only accept a sealed one mailed by the university itself.
I mean at this point might as well commit to the sthick, like whole ass it instead of half assing it. But also fair I've only sent copies on online unofficial transcripts
Most HR people are too lazy for that.
Background checks are usually outsourced to another company.
Exactly so laziness doesn't matter unfortunately
