figured this might be a good topic for Monday...

I know a guy through a mutual friend that claims that he went to A&M. Since meeting this "aggie" I have heard others make comments over the years about how he never attended A&M and just claims to be an Aggie. Well, now this guy has an Aggie Ring and wears it every day. I looked on his Linkedinand Facebook account and they both state that he went to A&M.

One thing I hate in this world are fakes, so I wanted to dig into this a little deeper! I decided to look online on the Former Students website and sure enough his name isn't listed there. However his dad and grandfather are listed. Now I've become more pissed off about this guy lying about his college career. I decided to even call the Former Students and confirm over the phone that this guy didn't attend A&M and they told me this morning that they have no record of him taking one single class.

What should I do now?
I'm so pissed that I almost want to send an email to his employer to just let him know. Odds are that he lied about it on his resume, especially since he lists it publicly on social media. It's not that he's just lying about attending A&M, it could be any college and I would still probably send an email to his employer. I was also wondering how he got his aggie ring? Maybe from his late grandfather? Or his dad might have given him one just so his son could act the part as a former aggie? He already wears everything A&M (which doesn't mean anything), but when you wear a ring that you didn't earn, isn't that a little too much?

Take a deep breath, look at your life and how you got to be such a crazy person, and start focusing on sheet that matters.

Didn't we already do this thread like a year ago? Some oil field guy lying about being an Aggie I think... don't remember all the details.

Anyway, social standards dictate that you bang his gf/wife/sister then move on with your life.

Maybe every time he mentions attending A&M, he says "Commerce" sotto voce.

Why do you care so much? You sound like one of those stolen valor people, but at least they're worked up about something that matters. Leave it alone and move on with you life. Also, you might want to get your blood pressure checked - you seem a little high strung.

We should probably let his employer, spouse, parents, and the president of his HOA know about this.

I knew I was going to get this type of feedback! Ha

So, I lied, he isn't a friend of a friend...
He is actually one of my friends. We went to school together at one time in our lives.

Guess I'm just trying to be super careful so he doesn't identify me. That's why I made a new username!
I think he posts here sometimes...you know, cause he is a die-hard Aggie! pfffff!

How's this any different than if you had a friend that applied for a job and told his new employer that he had served time in the military when he never did? Lying is lying when it comes to applying for a job/career. If you knew your friend had lied about being in the military, would you say something? (I know lying about being in the military is way worse, but it's still lying!)

Aggies don't lie, cheat or steal. I'm alerting the President of the University so we can look into confiscating your diploma and ring.

I wanted to reply to your post. However, given the level of BSC you reached on this alleged friend of a friend, I'm not sticking my neck out there for you to be "annoyed" with and call my boss 'cause your tampon isn't sitting right.

My sincerest best wishes to you in ruining someone elses life!!!!

If you're such good friends how come you don't know where he went to school? Why don't you just ask him directly? You know, like an adult and less like a 13 year old girl.

You should probably create a sock and then post an angry thread about it on TexAgs
