Rant: a diploma mill site listed a 2 day PhD and that number is still bugging me

I was poking around a site called Belford University out of curiosity and it claimed you could get a doctorate in 2 days for $549. What got me was a stat from a 2015 report by the FBI and the Oregon DOJ, they shut down something like 40 fake diploma sites in one sweep. I get why people are tempted when a real degree costs tens of thousands, but 2 days for a PhD is not a shortcut, it is a piece of paper that falls apart the second an employer calls to check. Has anyone here ever seen a mill site trying to pass itself off as legit with a real sounding accreditation name?
