Scam Description
Leaders Esteem Christian Bible University Is a diploma mill that is hoodwinking outdated celebrities and athletes. This place currently does not hold a business license in the state of Texas or a 501(c) status with the IRS. It is posing as a religious institution when it is not one. This address is a “digital office” not a real campus. They trick celebrities into paying fees for holding their own doctoral ceremonies to receive a fake honorary doctorate. They gullible celebrities are told to tell people the ceremony will be held a private location until all parties can collectively gather the funds for a location to have the ceremony in which the woman who runs the scam will then pocket some of this money. The scam is that they believe that all of this is real and it is not. It is a diploma mill that issues “honorary doctorates” and ceremonies several times a year and gives out about 20+ “honorary” doctorates a year. No suit #number is given in the address because it is a virtual office. That building houses may offices for many companies, however the woman who owns it is masquerading it as and entire campus. My uncle is soon to receive this in a few months and he doesn’t recognize it’s all fake!
