makbin Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hi all, I am having a problem with my recommendation letter. As my professor was reluctant to write me a LOR I did something stupid.. I credited an email account and sent the recommendation myself and now I read that the email has to be verifiable what does it mean and or the letter has to come with a letter head. And in a similar note, do I have to send official IELTS some schools say that they can verify it online if they could just be provided with the registration code. Any idea? joosemoore, gilbertrollins, Quant_Liz_Lemon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForbiddenDonut Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 As my professor was reluctant to write me a LOR Are you saying that because your prof didn't want to write you an LOR you forged one under his/her name and sent it from a fake email account? The problem with your recommendation letter is that it's fraudulent, and you should withdraw your fraudulent applications so that you don't risk taking a spot from genuine, honest candidate. gilbertrollins, ForbiddenDonut, Quant_Liz_Lemon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 A verifiable email address comes from an institution. You can't use a personal address, it has to be a .edu or .org account from a "verifiable" institution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaykaykay Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 adcoms often call recommenders directly to talk about a finalist. heck one of the adcoms even contacted a prof I only mentioned in my SOP to ask for an extra information from an extra person! I think you might get into serious trouble over this,if you really forged the rec letter. esp. a non edu email address may make them call if they are seriously considering you.

hedgequant Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The OP is a known scammer and is obviously fishing for ways to commit fraud. gilbertrollins, ForbiddenDonut, joosemoore and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
