It's actually really easy to verify someone attended/graduated. It's easier than an employment reference since there's usually someone to answer the phones in the Registrars' offices and this is exactly why they exist. What's a bit trickier is verifying the University exists. There are fake colleges where you pay for a bogus degree and subscribe to their bogus registrar service for a period of time so when employers conduct a degree check they answer the phone and lie for you.
