I came across this website offering CD for $2.29 Shipping only. However, I didn't get the CD and they charged me $39.95 monthly fee. I called the 800 # from my bank report 1-800-487-7085 and spent more than 15 minutes trying to get the person (in India) to understand I wanted to cancel my account. I have verified with my bank, Wells Fargo, that this is an ongoing scam for fictitious company and was able to dispute the charge. A lesson learned in buyer beware. read full review »

I attended Katharine Gibbs School in Piscataway, New Jersey in January 06. When I filled out my paperwork upon entrance to the school I was informed that my mother would have to co-sign the $25, 000 loan..proceeding to almost double to $40, 000 with interest, as per Sallie Mae loans...the only loan company this school provided. I signed up to the school for a certificate in Visual Communications, and was told that the school went on for 9 months. After I graduated, top in my class, I was promised a career. I received e-mails from the job... read full review »

I enrolled at iadt-Seattle in 05' and recientily graduated in june of last year. My experience at iadt started out on a sour note with the addmission rep who signed me up learning of my sexual life style oreintation, months later i would notice various addmissions staff members looking at me funny and laughing one to another or to their selves which led me to believe that private details of my sexual oreintation had been discussed throughout the staff. Experiencing that caused me all kinds of internal discomfort and indecision about even... read full review »

I purchased the Cleared for Takeoff software Series. This consisted of 20 disks with lessons for flight school on each disk. I was able to use disk 1 to 6 but after lesson 6 the software kept telling me I had to be registered to use the software. I registered using my included registration code, also went to my flight school who confirmed I was registered in the system. I contacted King Schools directly and received a very unprofessional customer service experience. They Basically told me that it was not their job to aid customers and that I... read full review »

Positive Experience at BTT College / DCA Institute Of Technology To stay competitive within the IT industry I wanted to complete my MCSE certification, after reading the newspaper one day I saw an advertisement from BTT College offering the MCSE course among others. I called the number in the AD and I spoke to Ash, he invited me and my family in for a meeting so we can see the environment and get a better understanding of what the course is about. After meeting with Ash I enrolled in the course, the environment at BTT college was very... read full review »

Enrolled with Ashworth university/college. Air conditioning course.

I feel so let down. I... read full review »

I am having exactly the same problem. I ordered some LCR dice games. They sent me a notice the order had shipped and charged my credit card. After weeeks of waiting the games are still not here. I've e mailed several times and got no response. There's not a phone number for them I can find. I tried the tracking number they gave me and the post office says they receieved electronic advice to expect a parcel for shipment but so far it has not arrived. I'm pulling my hair out. I think I've been scammed. I'm about to take more serious action as well. Steve-o from Florida read full review »

$20, 594 Tuition Charged for Seven Days of School, Unethical Practice on Tuition Refund In September 2008, my child was a student beginning his third year at Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. I began paying tuition for academic year 2008/2009 through Tuition Pay starting in July 2008. By the time my child began school at Wayland Academy in September 2008, my prepayment totaled $17, 582, nearly half the tuition for the academic year. Seven days after the school year began, Wayland Academy's representatives asked me to... read full review »

CSB is a total scam. $11000 for what? You can get a AA degree in broadcasting from your local junior college for less than half that. I went to the CSB in northern NJ back in the early 90s when it was in Rochelle Park, NJ. Back then it was like $4000 to go. The place is a total joke. The equipment is outdated and never working properly. Their claim of 'helping you start a career in broadcasting' consisted of photocopied pages from a broadcasting magazine. If you really want to test the value of a CSB education, send out fake... read full review »

I cannot understand how a company can use a government acronym like the letters fasfa and not be considered scaming people. I googled fasfa to fill out application for student aid for my son. fasfa.com is the first thing to pop up so I filled out application then paid $79.00 from my debit card only to find out the real site is fasfa.ed.gov and it is free to apply. I think GOOGLE should not allow them to use the same acronym as it is very misleading and taking advantage of parents trying to get some financial aid for students. fasfa.com charged my debit card immediatly but the application was not processed that day which was the deadline to apply. read full review »

I attended Gibbs school/college, I was told that my education would be very prestigious and I would have no trouble finding work.They were a little helpful in trying to find me work when I was still there, but I just went to their site and none of the classes I took are no longer in the curriculum.I feel that they were holding classes that were not up to date, and were not futuristic of the current job market and economy. read full review »

Before enrolling I was very concerned about my aid covering every expense. I was told it would cover my costs and after five weeks of begging for them to help me and explain the process to me. I found myself struggling with a bill and I have no idea what I am even paying for. I also was told they would block my classes if I did not call them. Why bother to call because they do not care about my finances. I live on a very tight budget of $792 a month and there is no way I cannot afford their expenses. I expressed my concerns way before I... read full review »

I am sending forth this complaint about GCU (Grand Canyon University) which is supposed to be a Christian college. I had been wanting to attend school at GCU since Dec. 2007. I submitted the paperwork and did my financial aid papers. I waited and waited for the financial aid department to contact me; and they never did. So I became suspscious after redoing my financial aid online. After I had seen that GCU had my financial aid papers for months, I called them to see what was going on.

Sent over incompetent jerk of a teacher. I have played piano for 20 years. Even my 15 year old thought something was wrong. No home work, no scales, no theory. After 5 lessons we cancelled and asked for a refund. They were extremely rude and refused to give me a refund or my security deposit. Said I signed a contract. I told them I do not like your service and they basically told me to F off. Plus lessons cost more than 20% more than competitors. only call if u want to pay top dollar for shitty music lessons read full review »

I tried to purchase Gravity-defyer shoes online from Gadget Universe. I purchased the shoes Jan 30, 2009. My order number is W00000080000, I also paid to have them UPS on a three day shipping.

I though this site was fafsa.ed.gov because I had searched it and was brought to this site, and while filling out this site, I came to a section in which they asked about payment plans. I was warned earlier that FAFSA is free and that if they ask for payments that it is not right, so I'm afraid that I disclosed personal information to that site and that it may not be trustworthy. read full review »

Wow, I can not believe this group, they totally ripped me off and I found out they have ripped off several other people from rip-off as well. I wish I would have read this before I started working with them. The funny thing is they used to be called 'W Talent' and now they changed their name to United Talent Group. They probably had to since they were getting such a horrible reputation. Rather than whine on my own I will quote what some others have said on this board about them as I think that will speak for itself. I have only added... read full review »

I spent one full year in the paralegal program at this college. I barely learned a thing! They expect you to read 10+ chapters a week, (sometimes that is one class!), and then you answer one question on the discussion board and do some cheesy assignment that usually consists of a couple of sentences in Word and sent as an attachment, then you get an A for that. They gave us temporary access to Westlaw in ONE class, (a law search engine so to speak), and didn't even help us as a class on how to use it. They don't even have... read full review »

For all I know, this could be an accredited college... but the fact that they lied to me about the need to sign a promissory note for them to give me information about my loan, as told to me by SallyMae, was just uncalled for. Also, it turned out I was due a letter explaining my loan in details before needing to sign the note. Guys, don't let private schools manipulate you! A promissory loan with Stafford is the LAST step in enrollment. When you do it - make sure you know your college's withdrawal procedure, 'cause if you... read full review »

I wasted money and time going to this " fake christian" " school" not anywhere close to a school. Students there have no life. all the student there cant go any where, and all they get to do is sit in the room and spend the hole year infront of their lap top, with poor signals, because school cant afford a better internet system. This school is cheap as hell, and the staffs are all fake. I dont even know if they graduated high school or not, cuz all their IQ's are pretty low. They obviosly have a failure of life thats why... read full review »

I started at Devry spring semester 2008. After submitting my FAFSA, I was advised by a Devry Student Finance employee of how much i would be receiving, where the funds were coming from and how many classes I was able to take. I went through this advising process at the beginning of summer and fall as well. Prior to the start of fall semester, I met with an Financial Aid adviser and was told of how much i would be receiving. During this particular meeting, the adviser pointed out that I had been receiving a OIG grant which is based in Ohio. I... read full review »

The students at this school are extremely rowdy and rude. They are constantly loitering on the sidewalk and blocking pedestrian traffic. They are out there shouting, screaming, cursing, spitting and sometimes fighting all while the teachers and the security guards stand there and talk amongst themselves and do nothing. Just today, while in the chinese takeout place around the corner on 8th Ave., a bunch of student were in there talking very loudly, cursing and spitting. read full review »

Last week, I ordered a free DVD for information on educational grants. I need to find ways to pay for school, and I thought, this would be helpful information. This was a side bar on the federal student loan application, so I assumed it was a ligimate outfit. Anyway, I gave authorization for a charge of $3.95. Today there is a charge of $74.68 to my account! I have tried to call the # listed ( 1 - 888- 662- 8762) and it is a continuous busy signal. Unreachable. Earlier this week, I received the DVD in the mail. I haven't broken the... read full review »

It seems strange for the school to send out a letter to everyone saying that the new cameras were installed at the middle school inside and out to hold the children and staff accountable. Are they having problems with the staff? Are they having problems with the children that the staff couldn't get off their ass and go stop? The money could have been much better spent on books and classroom supplies for the classroom budgets that keep getting cut. I wish the schools were run by poor people that knew how to budget money the right way and... read full review »

Before you shell out money for ANY courses, especially the advanced courses at Peak Potentials, you may want to confirm, in writing, that Peak Potentials will honor THEIR commitments. We've paid thousands of dollars for Peak Potential courses including the Enlightened Warrior and Wizard Training.

My husband and I attended our courses and camps here in California, about an hour from our home, and were assured that the more advanced... read full review »

Veritasprep is apparently in the business of gmat prep but makes false claims about the qualifications of instructors. It claims that all of its instructors are 99th percentile but people who have taught for the company confirm that they had not scored in the 99th percentile. The company is allegedly run by a lawyer who should know better than to make deceptive claims. Veritas claims it supplies 14 tests but they are all sourced from companies that are selling the software themselves. Veritas marks up those tests obscenely and makes you pay an arm and a leg. Beware of tall claims by Veritasprep company. read full review »

I have a complaint, it has been brought to our attention that the students don't feel they are getting the education they signed and paid for. The facility is like a high school with students running around, acting like middle school, surfing the internet instead of attending the clients. Wet towels on the floors, combs being dropped and picked right up and used on a client. I have observed this behaviour every time I go in. So, in my opinion I feel the school itself is not teaching the students how to behave and learn as you know there... read full review »

Keiser University does not clearly display their tuitions and fees on their site nor do they clarly explain what the fees and tuitions are during the orientation. Keiser does not operate under a credits per hour system, instead charge a bulk rate for a semester no matter how many classes you take. Example: Keiser runs 4 terms per semester. Full time students take 4 classes (term 1, 2, 3 & 4) per semester and 1/2 time takes 2 classes per semester (terms 1, 2 & 3.4) concentration classes are 4 credits and gen. ed. classes are 3 credit... read full review »

The University of Phoenix crossed an ethical line.After endless computer trouble I knew I needed to drop before the 2 week deadline, they wouldn't let me drop. They went as far as to post threads in Arizona to meet the class requirements. Just enough to allow full billing. Then it was"sorry we can't help", How convenient. I refused to pay, they refuse to let go of the credit report they hold hostage.Anyone with a similar complaint should contact Leanne Chitwood http://arizonabbb.org/ not that she was any help, I don't think anyone realizes how often this crap happens. read full review »

I too have been scammed by the school... Financially, this 'Education Experience' has cost me double what a regular in class education would have, except I don't have a degree from them and I am still paying for it, 6 years later!
