Logos and advertisements with several online universities are now all over Internet. “Get your degree fast” and “Add Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate Degrees to your resume in just 4-6 weeks!” might sound good, but that’s what scammers use to get you signed up. If you do, you will pay a few hundred dollars to enroll, and you’ll be promised a diploma, transcripts, or an award of excellence.
How to avoid: do not trust these ads as - chances are - the universities are not accredited and you’ll wait forever to start courses or to get a decent education. Make sure you research the name of the “university” first and try to contact their Customer Service to ask all the questions you need. If they don’t give you a clear picture of how your next few months will look like (classes-wise) don’t waste your money.
