i receiived call from riverwood university USA for giving experience base degree for just $199. And i received mail from university for transfering the fund $199 through wentern union through. this is fake or real.?

Below are the details you would need to transfer 750 SARthrough Western Union funds transfer:
Mohammed Saadi Shabaan Abu Jahl
RIYADH

Kindly capture the screenshot of the receipt and attach me back a copy of itthrough e-mail as soon you have transferred the funds.
So your enrollment process can be initiated.

I had the same thing with Nicholasville university: this guy with a very funny accent calls my phone and claims he's from New York or some other place like it, and calling from "Nicholasville University", and they can offer me a Bachelor's account. I tell him I'm looking for discounts and he asks me about my work experience that I have about a year's, and a few days later he calls and says they've accepted to give ma 85% scholarship and I have to pay only 2500$ for a degree that normally costs 14000$!

I got contacted by a simliar university. I filled a form in a site called "UAE universities" and just about an hour later this guy with a very funny accent calls my phone and claims he's from New York or some other place like it, and calling from "Nicholasville University", and they can offer me a Bachelor's account. I tell him I'm looking for discounts and he asks me about my work experience that I have about a year's, and a few days later he calls and says they've accepted to give ma 85% scholarship and I have to pay only 2500$ for a degree that normally costs 14000$! I did doubt them, first of all there's no 'edu' in the site's address, as all American Universites I've seen, even the online ones, have it. and the funny thing is that whenever I send them an email just to ask something, the guy answers me back by phone in an instant, and they sent me my scholarship mail on a Saturday, which university is open on Saturdays?!
And like Jobish I searched the accreditations they claim they have on the net and the first one I saw until now was non-existent.
Shouldn't someone do something about this fake things?

Dear Friends
I have been approached by a similar university 2 years ago using a very similar technique. This university will continue to ask some money for different registrations under different reasons. I ended up paying more than $6000 before I discovered it is a fake university and they run more than 10-websites with different " University " names to cheat people.

Reputable universities do not follow such techniques and they are registered in the their country education system. This is a fake and unreal university run by IT specialist, so stop sending money for no thing.

Riverwood university is a fake one. In their site, they say that they are accredited by
International Accreditation Council for Open Education
Gulf Accreditation Council (GACC)
The American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE)
North American Distance Learning Association (NADLA)
European Accreditation Board of Higher Education (EABHE )

Out of the mentioned above I am not sure about GACC. But all other are fake.. In fact there are no such valid agencies exists.

i took a course with them and had to complete many hours of study, yes they gave credit to 25 years of experience from a detailed interview.

Education itself is flawed, you go to college and get told to go the library and do research, that is not teaching, yet you pay a fortune.

I actually had to complete 400-600 hrs of courses which i was awarded many marks. Universities like Liverpool do the same, completely on line.

many people will always not like online, as if you are a teacher or a student who has paid lots more money to walk to college & get sent the library ; you will not like someone getting a qualification for less money, that is recognised on a par with yours.

Now they are not responding. It is totally fake and cheating people. Kindly don't apply. Regards

Hi
Want to alert all reading this page.Riverwood University is a totally fake University with no recognition at all. I got a mail from them and then a call inviting me for a live chat session. They offered to give me degree based on my work experience and previous education after paying USD 2, 000. Afterwards I checked with US Consulate in Dubai and they confirmed that such University has no existence.
Do not fall into their trap and lose your money. Do not go by their flashy website. The Consulate took the details of the website link from me. Hopefully they will take some action.

I contacted Riverwood university myself thru my browsing of online degree and talked to their representative
They offered me the degree for $500 after all the discounts, And asked me to pay via online payment system
I paid with my card and the payment was received by OnlineEDU .
I went thru a interview, submitted my documents
The next day i received a call asking me to come to their live chat section where they announced that i am being awarded with degree
Gave me links to the soft copies of my certificate, transcript and verification letter
They want me to pay for the attestation from regional and US Government bodies and then only they can ship the certificate to me
This is when I got lil uncomfortable and started looking for the university 's review and I found many blogs and articles saying it is fake and some saying its genuine. is there any way to identify an online university's and its accreditation

Hi, I have also been approached to pay 199 dollars and to get experience based degree. As per my research, it is real and number 1 ranking university for online education.

I had paid and interview was schedule as per our convenience & received a call from the professor of the university, interview was conducted and the same was recorded for evaluation.

Results will be declared within 24- 48 hours and they will ask for confirmation of soft copy of degree on the basis of your personal details & on confirmation to provide address where degree has to be shipped.

But there is a twist with this, only degree of $199 will be of no use until there is attestation from US embassy, US Apostle, Embassy of the applicant resident, which will be extra premium cost... which is $5500 and they will provide some discount as you are student of the university. But still we will feel it is very much expensive after calculating home town currency, advantage is that you will save all the time by not going regular classes for the same degree and which will cost almost 3- 5 times of above price.

Hence, it is good offer to get the degree attested and affiliated in 130 countries across the globe.
