How do you go about finding out if someone is lying about having a college degree?
 

would like to verify for someone who is applying to work for me.

Call the admissions office at the college where they say they have a degree from?

Ask to see the degree itself or a transcript from the school.
If they really do have the credentials, it shouldn't be too hard to produce them.

Chek there facebook page lolllllllllll

call the school or his mother

Correct.

I do not know that an admissions office will verify something like that over the phone. Maybe if you send them a verification letter with company letterhead showing the person applied for a job.

I know before I was self employed, I used to have to sign a waiver that allowed a background check, including verifying college information. I do not know if it is mandatory, and such things seem to vary from company and state.

But I know when I worked in telco, I had to sign that all three times.

call the school.

I believe it varies by state, but it couldn't hurt to get their written permission to verify their references. Then call or email the school to inquire about getting a transcript or verification of graduation for such and such person from x and so year.

this is the second or third person running around talking about having a degree and i really doubt this one specifically.
