I recently received the following email from a dentist: “My embezzler passed my references check. I asked for six references, and she passed with flying colors… and then proceeded to rob me blind. I thought that maybe y’all needed to make a post about it, or SOMETHING, to the world of dentistry, because seriously, this is why we can’t trust references. When people fabricate deception like this, how can we trust anything, as employers, to be able to find someone worthy of hiring?”
The dentist was referring to a website that, for a fee, will supply false references to help someone pass reference checks. Here is what one such site claims:
“Paladin Deception Services is here to assist you in obtaining the fictitious reference, the little white lie, or the alibi that you need. Our agency can provide you with either male or female testimonials over the phone in the local area code that you require. We’re confidential, professional, innovative, and affordable.
