is faking a cv a criminal offence
8 Answers
If you present forged certificates and an embelished CV is it illegal? It infuriates me that people are now buying fake qualifications off the internet and basically undermining genuine qualifications and the imense effeort not to say financial cost of obtaining them. Is it against the law and if so what is the actual offence.

'Obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception' was the old wording used under the Theft Act 1968. That charge has now been replaced with 'fraud by false representation', under the Fraud Act 2006:

The offence carries a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment (plus a fine):

It's not an offence to buy or possess a fake certificate. No offence is committed, by the person obtaining the certificate, until such time as he (or she) tries to use it for gain. So you'd have to know that someone was actually using such a certificate, rather than simply possessing it, before you could report the matter for possible action by the police.
