Thread: Education Connection ads on TV and Internet.

Are they the same scam as "Debt Settlement" ads? Even some celebrities started to endorse them. But I smell something fishy. Too many different website names for the same ads. Also I would question capability of most people they target to study independently. Diploma mill?

Online Schools, Online Degrees - Education Connection

One would be well advised to check out the individual college selected to be sure. Some do turn out to be diploma mills and of those a few do get shut down. One can check for proper accreditation here:

Don Holbrook, the BS king of late actually thought he had earned a legitimate master's and doctoral degrees from LaSalle University. The FBI shut that scam down and I really would love to see the 200 page dissertation Holbrook bragged of. But, as usual he is not documenting his claims. The story on LaSalle is quite a cautionary tale:

I, personally, think they are a scam. The explanation I have read about the website names is that is what is used to determine the response from the lackofinformercial in the different time slots (eg: different time slots = different website names).
