I'm not too sure what to make of this, looks like someone has found a few possible sources of free addresses that look very official (*.intec.edu, *.edu.tf and the like) and is using them to promote some sort of diploma mill. I noticed it only because I'm registrant on pedia.nu and they were misusing a subdomain of that domain to link to a fake version of a Wikipedia page - hosted as static content on some free webserver, no less. The real version is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordia_College_and_University

I've reported it to the operators of the FreeDNS service in question, odds are it will be dealt with as abuse. That the fake page (www.wiki.pedia.nu redirected in a frame to http://www.freewebs.com/freewebwikipedia/Concordia_College_%26_University.htm ) lists AboutUs as the first of the various so-called "references" is a little disturbing. As such, I've updated the page to reflect the situation. Wikipedia seems to have locked their version of this page, so that it couldn't be edited to advertise the diploma mill as if it were a proper school, so odds are this sort of this has been going on for a while now. Pity. --Carlb 14:26, 10 September 2007 (PDT)
