At the local Starbucks? Nobody.
When I applied for my job, however, I assure you they did indeed actually check.

I don't think I'm smart because of the PhD. I think I'm smart because of objective evidence. For example, I know that sentences begin with capital letters.

you say that, but like many PhD holders, you do actually overestimate your intelligence as exemplified by your immediate attempt at a smart-sounding rhetoric, which follows the set pattern of others who do so in this sort of conversations. this is also objective evidence.

Just go to India or Saudi Arabia and get pay up.
You can easily get 2 or 3 diplomas and they're not super expensive or time-consuming.
Then, once you're back companies can't do shit about it, as it's way too difficult to investigate.
But realistically companies won't really notice as long as you are not retarded.

How do you claim to know the sound of my discourse isn't driven by actual intelligence? (I mean apart from the fact that you're clearly butt-hurt about my PhD.)

You're saying that like a blanket ban on all things from India (including diplomas) isn't just around the corner.

There are occasionally consequences, like

>he pleaded guilty to fraud after he lied about having a degree on his CV. He was handed a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years
Probably plenty more who get away with it though. Really depends on your risk appetite, your ability to convincingly bullshit your way out of tricky questions, and who you're lying to.

What's the utility of a phd? Why, broadly speaking, would one want a phd? Is it just for people who work in high-end R&D?

I live in a high-trust first world country and some youtuber caused quite a stirr two years ago because he just walked into the local municipality's office with a fake PhD diploma and added that shit to his name within 15 minutes.

He filmed it all and got a 5k fine and 1 year on probation though because he not only got a fraud charge but also falsification of official documents.

I have a CS degree and it's really not that hard. Getting a PhD in CS isn't all that hard either. If you can get a bachelor's, you most likely can also get a PhD, it's just often not worth the time.

Let me guess. You're always the first person to point out typos of your/you're, or there/their/they're or to let people know it's "fewer" not "less". Are you a literal 14 year old or just a mental 14 year old?

It's pointless to try to distinguish a person who is too lazy to follow the rules of English from one who is too stupid to follow the rules of English.

I can tell you checks are not common, at least in my field (coding).
So you could lie, even if most people just lie about their previous work experience pretending to know more than they do.
Even companies don't admit it they evaluate people more using istinct, they think they know if you're lying.

I got a job at a research lab and they didnt check. They just assumed i was telling the truth, which i was.
I know they didnt check because im a foreigner and my degrees are not registered in any local university or government registry and i never gave them some copy, i just told them my degrees during the interview.
