Brixton University is a online scam, if you have been defrauded by Brixton University contact your

Brixton University Online Scam Operation

Good Day:
I was scammed by Brixton University, and they stole $185.00 from me for the tuition they charge for their fake degrees.
I advise people who seek an accredited online degree to not be a victim of Brixton University, and their online SCAM!
They never sent me my accredited degree, and would not give me a refund. I did report the matter to PayPal, who processes
the online payments for Brixton University. I also advise victims to report Brixton University's actions to the FBI, and the
U.S. Attorney's Office for prosecution, and any other legal action the U.S. Attorney's Office deems necessary in the event they
have also been SCAMMED!
Thank you,
Clifford G. Fleetwood

Brixton University Life Experience Degree

I wish to share my experience about Brixton University it is my hope this post well serve as a severe warning for those that peruse a life experience degree through Brixton University. First of all, this school does not exist. It is a company called Global Business Group. On or about January 20th, 2011 I submitted a CV resume, and filled out an application on the Website of Brixton University confirming my previous and present education, undergraduate degree earned, work experience, college credits, in-service training credits, and professional training I received. I was notified by Brixton University that my application had been approved. On March 8, 2011 I notified Brixton University, and placed my order for a Master of Science degree. I placed my order through PayPal; this is the method of payment issued by Brixton University. On April 22, 2011 Brixtion notified me and stated I sent them the wrong address and the documents were sent back to them. Brixton University did not provide me with a tracking number as proof that they sent any documents to me. I went to PayPal and filed a complaint that I had not received my order from Brixton University. Brixton notified me via email with nasty threats that I would not get a refund unless I closed my complaint with PayPal. In the many emails I received from Brixton University, Brixton repeatedly told me I was stupid and didn't have common sense because I filed a complaint with PayPal. Brixton continued to send me nasty emails and threated me with a no refund policy which is not advertised on their website.

Finally, I notified my bank, and my bank intervened as a result I was awarded a full refund. THANKS TO MY BANK I WAS RESCUED FROM the FRAUDS AT GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP/ Brixton University.

In conclusion, on May 20, 2011 I received an unofficial certificate degree from Brixton University. The certificate degree was not presentable, the typesets of print overlapped each other listing the name of this University in big bold old English lettering it stated Souvenir life experience degree at the bottom in bold lettering (Front of Degree) and a incomplete statement of terms and conditions on the back of the degree that states “This degree certificate is not an authentication feature issued by or under the authority of any government, a state, political subdivision of a state, a foreign government, political subdivision of a foreign government, and international quasi-government organization. This degree certificate is issued under the authority of the sovereign individual and remains the property of the bearer. The bearer certifies all particulars on the front of this degree certificate are true and correct. This not an official certificate and is not issued by any authority of any government entity or agency authorized to issue official certificates. This certificate is not be used for any official purpose, or to use, deal with or act upon it as if it were a genuine official certificate, or to induce any person by the belief that it is a genuine officially issued certificate. This certificate is issued to the.”(Incomplete terms of conditions) After receiving this document today it is very clear that Brixton University is fraudulent, they even acknowledge that they are not authorized to issue real degrees, Brixton University staff are unprofessional, rude, ugly, and impudent, and the university doesn’t exits it is merely a company posing itself as a university that issues fake degrees. Clearly the website of Brixton University states that its degrees are legal, and accredited by World Distance Learning Accreditation Council (WDLAC)., they clearly state that they are authorized to issue degree see Brixton University Website. (http://www.brixtonuniversity.com) This is false advertisement and fraud. There is no mention of souvenir degrees award thorough this university on its website. And once again this company is not authorized to issue degrees see link form the Oregon office of Degree Authorization.

Brixton University British Columbia Operating Illegally. Lacks authority to issue degrees.

http://www.osac.state.or.us/oda/unaccredited.aspx

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY; YOU MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS I WAS TO RECEIVE A REFUND. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A UNIVERSITY IT DOES NOT EXISITS IT’S FAKE. They will steal your money and give you something “that’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

You're right and I thank you for reading the article, I thought it was interesting, but as I told you before I already have a traditional undergraduate degree. Again you are right life experience degrees has its many draw backs as you have read in the article.
Goood luck, and best of wishes to you.

Hello Jazzcat23,

I'm glad you went to this website and read the information for yourself and everything you quoted from this website is true however, you left this part out " The truth is that these life experience degrees DO WORK. But you have to know how to work them. Keep reading if you want to know how to make a Life Experience degree work for you." And "Still not sure what to do? Here's a suggestion. DO BOTH! Get your degree from Almeda University or Rochville University or one of them. At the same time, enroll in your local traditional college. Now spend the same time on each." And finally, C'mon, will these Degrees Really Work? In my case I have done both I already have a traditional undergraduate degree degree, and now I seeking a graduate life experience degree.
Futhermore,
"I am answering this question for people that are seeking employment in the private sector. After all, I assume that's what you are curious about. Will employers recognize and accept these Life Experience Degrees? Well, if you know what you are doing and know how to work them, the answer is an astounding - YES.
Don't believe the garbage you read on any website that tells you that Life Experience Degrees are fakes or scams or that these degrees will get you fired. Those websites (such as degree.net) are written by the people that run and dominate the "institutions of higher learning." They want to dictate the rules and set the terms with an iron first. You conform to their standards or you're railroaded off to the unemployment line, the hell with you as far as they're concerned. They call you names, claim you're inferior, and disparage your experience and degree, saying you got your Life Experience degree at a "diploma mill" rather than somewhere that recognizes your experience and rewards you for it.
seek out all the PRIVATE colleges and apply to them all. If you are lucky, you will find one that accepts your Life Experience Degree credits.
More and less. Canadian employers are more likely to accept the concept of experiential learning as a valid form of education. Private employers in Canada accept Life Experience degrees at a higher rate than in the United States.'
With that said, life experience degrees do work and again they are legitimate and legal degrees, provided they are issued from legitimate schools.

May 30, 2011 4:45 pm EDT

I invite you to read this article about life experience degrees and how they work in your spere time. Again life experience degrees are legal and legitimate. You are wrong when you say I didn't earn this degree, I did. Life experience degrees are awarded to canidates who show proof of at least five years of work in their given fields, secondly, life experience degrees are given to canidates who have earn college credits, professional development training, , writing independently, and published work to demonstrate the knowlege one have accumilated in their life time. A life experience degree says you've shown your hard work and for your hard work in your life time you are awarded a life experience degree. I have graduated with an undergradute degree and completed some graduate work earning 21 credits-University and another 14 graduate credits inservice and professional development studies. You said "why didn't you simply drive over to the University of British Columbia and purchase one from them"?Unfortunately The University of British Columbia may not have an experiemential degree program, this innovative method of education is new. Also let's put this in perspective do you think any college would be that accommodating to issue degrees to people like myself, they would lose trillions of dollars, they would rather have canidiate of their university spend, and spend money for course work. Please take the time and read this article on life experience degrees thanks for your thoughts http://www.aboutlifeexperiencedegrees.com/

"THANKS TO MY BANK I WAS RESCUED FROM the FRAUDS AT GLOBAL BUSINESS GROUP/ Brixton University."

"A fraudster accusing other fraudsters of committing fraud. Oh the irony! "

There is nothing fraudulant about life experience degrees I earned through my years of heard work and academic study. Life experience degrees are legitimate at the right, and legal schools.

Brixton University MORE LIES AND DECEPTION BY BRIXTON UNIVERSITY

AGAIN BRIXTON UNIVERSITY CONTINUES TO LIE IN ITS ATTEMPT TO COVER UP THEIR WRONG DOING
. As I mentioned earlier it is advisable that anyone who is considering a life experience degree to stay away from this fraudulent diploma mill. In their latest attempt to discredit me they have said they "beg to differ" on their approval of my life experience degree through their university, they have told you that I failed all of my courses I have supplied false information that has been verified through their assessment committe. Please see proof that their assement committe approved my life exeperience degree. Brixton has lost its attempt to steal my money, and deliver nothing. Brixton's account is now under investigation through PayPal and my bank. I received a refund, and this fake university Global Business Group is acting in retaliation for their loss. HOW SAD THAT THESE PEOPLE MUST RESORT TO CHILDISH GAMES AS THIS.

Dear Lisa Smith:

As per our previous advise, please note that your documents will not be released for shipment by
postal delivery, until we have confirmation that the PayPal dispute has been closed.

Unfortunately we must enforce this policy, as we believe that you have no intention of making
payment upon receipt of your documents.

It is clear from your explanation that you were fully aware that your documents could take up to
4 weeks for delivery, yet you filed a dispute due to your error in providing incorrect address. This
is due to your error, and not ours.

Further, you have not requested rush service, and your documents were sent via postal mail, and
you have not paid to have your documents shipped with a tracking number.

As per our advertisement, it is irrelevant as this depends on the type of documents one is requesting.
We clearly indicated to you that your order will be delivered within 2-4 weeks.

As previously advised, we have now revoked your approval status, pending full compliance of our terms and
conditions, and all payments must be made in full and all disputes closed.

All documents are customized to reflect our students requirements, and there is a cost associated with the
procedure in preparation of the documents, signatory and approval, and we reserve the right to cancel your
order without further notice.

As a result we shall not provide you with a refund, and your documents will only be re-shipped after we recieve
confirmation that your PayPal dispute has been closed.

We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Now, is there any part of this don't you understand?

Additionally, there's something very, very sad about a 'university' (HA!) representative posting attacks filled with grammatical errors."

It lets this community know why this school is a known diploma mill that issues fake degrees.

Brixton University Lisa smith was not rejected for a life experience degree at brixton university, she was approved

Brixtion university has written false information. They have stated that "lisa smith was rejected for a life experience degree she is not qualified.
Here are the facts, first of all, I was approved for a life experience degree from brixton university. I was not rejected as brixton claims. Brixton university forfeited on its obligation to send me a degree as promised and in retalilation of my complaint to paypay brixtion sent me a novelty (fake degree).
Brixton didn't send a tracking number as proof that they mail the documents. Brixton advertise on their website that degrees are shipped in 7 to 10 business days. I did receive anything from brixton after 55 days had passed. I notified brixton and asked about this order. They replied stating the package was mailed to a wrong address, however, they did not provide evidence (postal tracking numbers) that this item was shiped.

Please see nasty emails I received from brixtion univesity :

This email was sent after sending brixton the link from the office of degree authorization of the state of oregon. A week letter I received the fake degree in the mail. See email:

Dear lisa smith:

Obviously, your knowledge has been overflooded by your stupidity, and we thank you for closing your
Paypal dispute.

If you applied your simple common sense intitially, this matter would have been resolved amicably
Without confrontation.

My we suggest you attempt to get a real education before applying for a life experience degree,
As we do not believe you possess the necessary qualifications of minimal intelligence.

Brixton

This is the last email I received from brixton university after I requested a return address so I could return the fake degree back to them. Please see email:

Dear certified illiterate lisa smith:

Our assessment office reviewed your application and determined you were incompetant and illiterate.

Therefore, you were not entitled to a life experience degree. Generally said you never graduated because
You share all the qualities of a useless, stupid, idiot and #ed individual.

If you like to receive a degree confirming any of the above, we shall gladly provide one to you, as your life
Experience would only qualify your knowledge which is completely overflooded by your stupidity.

Now is there any part of this you do not understand?

Again stay away from this group. What legitimate university sends emails like this, and conducts themselves in an unprofessional manner as this? What legitimate university sends people fake degrees, novelty degrees, souviener degrees? None.
Again all of the above actions from brixtion is vindictive because of my complaint to paypay, and my bank.

This confirms that brixton university is fake. Diploma mill. It is a indivdual/company that purports itself as a university.

If you are awarded a life experience degree from a legitmate school, then that degree is accredited. You can use this degree for career advancement. After all you have earned this degree for your years in the trenches, many years of work experience, college credits you have earned in your life time, and professional training you have gained.

They then sent me an email saying i was stupid and they would stamp this on my degree..

This is completely untrue, and Brixton is a legal and reputable online university.

They base your degreee on experience, and they have sent it in a timely manner, so i don't understnd the fuss, you probably are a compeititor trying to kill their reputation.

We have a dozen or so friends who have obtained their degree from brixton university and received it, so cut the [censor]

you love me have said that they got the money through paypal.
Arrives in global society that operates Brixton, they stole more than $ 300 and without giving me an explanation, are frauds. I read the posts on their terrifying, there is also the name of the head of Brixton but the Canadian police do nothing.
If someone wants to ask him to contact me and we become who we are cheating a university so rich is 100% legal

My complaint is about these complaints. Your complaints that then"University" would not award you a degree only proves that they are on the up and up. If you went to an college the college does not refund your tuition. There is also no guarantee you will pass that is on you, you have to earn the credits in order to receive an degree from that school according to that schools requirements. Brixton tries to give credit for life experience. The U.S. military gives college credits for military experience, and payngrade, all very generalized. Brixton University is based on the individual. If you were denied from them you wanted a degree in the wrong field. You obviously don't have the life experience for that area. What you want is a degree mill like ashwood. I have a life experience degree from brixton, in philosophy, PhD. I met their requirements, true life experience, and you didn't for the field you wanted. All you whiners that the school would not cheat for you are wrong, you make people with an degree from there look bad, and the "University". What's worse is if they had given you a degree, you could go out and get work in a field you are not qualified for, also in some states it is illegal to use a non acknowledge schools degree (by the U.S.'s education system) to gain employment, for that very reason. If they gave you a degree in physics and you used that to go work at a nuclear power plant, would you actually be qualified for that, and really know what to do in a real emergency, nope, then we have another Churnobyl.

Brixton University is yet another fake university. I found it on degreeadvice.com at the url below. Beware, do not give them your credit card number or paypal account information.

I was in the U.S. Army for 4 years, and recieved almost a full A.S. From the U.S. ACCREDITATION CREDITS, this was 15 years ago, that's the exact same thing as Life Experience Credit, when I tried to go back to school the V.A. Determined that I was unable to sit through classes, and would most likely not find gainful employment since I was an Insurance risk (personal injury). So I was denied for VOCATIONAL REHAB, so I took the peanuts of Money them and SSA gave me and moved to Thailand for a while, while thier I studied with monks and traveled to a few other countries that had philosophical influence. Anyway, I have a Degree from Brixton, and they are not legal where I am to use on a resume (misdemeanor), but I can hang it on my wall, and I like it, it's in Philosophy, I also have degrees from 4 other sources all online churches (1 Philosophy, 1 Theology, 3 Divinity) that I am ordained in, these I can use on a resume, why not Brixton, not that I need too. I AM JUST SAYING, all my degrees required a personal history in short thesis form and 1 required a test, they are all Doctorates. Most State Universities, and Community Colleges allow someone to challenge a class, but they still require, you to pay for your credits if you pass the challenge. Anyway I am moving to CA soon, and Brixton is legal on resume there. I Brixton is Great, and the Diploma looks awesome, I got mine, you should get yours, plus it says hey I don't have the fancy, expensive, school, but I've got the experience and OJT, which College grads don't have, these kinds of degrees are also known as a Professional Degree, when you go to school it is a Research degree, Acadeemic Degree, or Medical Degree. A lawyer, can take the bar with no official school, and if he passes, he has an instant Doctorate (or masters, I forgot) in Law.

Design and Sean B. Kelly both use such atrocious English grammer and spelling, it is no wonder that they had to buy their degrees, instead of earning them the way that most of us do, by attending real universities and graduating. And, Sean Kelly's relentless ranting sounds like a real nut case!

Just to clarify a couple things, since I have a FEW typos, these are just intrnet postings but I'd say still gets the point out there, one thing though I said' "52" states I meant 42 states give or take, and if your degree is intended for use with religion it's legal in Oregon and more, not recognized, but legal to use. Another thing I forgot to say was, you mentioned the Coolege experience was to get the language standerdized, you ever here of a thing called synonyms, also some business make up thier own names so as to reduce the risk of Industrial Espionage, other companies use a synonym because thier competitors use a more common name (for many reasons, my favorite one reason is so as not to confuse the consumer with the competitions product).
