Almeda University has extended their spurrious offering of College level degrees. Several years ago I made the mistake of investing i a life experiences graduate degree. The turnaround on my $800 'investment' was almost immediate. that raised a red flag and shame on me, but only then did I conduct my due dilligence, MY BAD. It turned out that not one institution would recognize the degree as being valid, This icluded state and federal governments. Today I received a second letter pertaining to having my degree "recognized" by the US government and particularly the Department of State - why that department illudes me. Below is a copy of that second email:

Dear Dennis,

We are currently facing an increasing requirement of Legalization for our educational documents by our Alumni. This has been triggered due to the fact that the US government body has changed their educational policies to improve the standard, quality and acceptability of educational documents for the students.

We are glad to inform you that after multiple efforts by the governing bodies of Almeda University and its regulatory commissions we have been successful in getting our degrees (i.e. awarded through Prior Learning Assessment) recognized and legalized by the US authorities. This step would ensure legal acceptance of your degree from Almeda University in addition to the fact that it would be treated as a traditionally earned degree everywhere.

Almeda University strongly recommends all its alumni to have their degrees authenticated and registered by the US authorities. Considering your convenience and financial constraints we have obtained the exclusive rights to get our Alumni degrees authenticated and legalized for half the fee.

Please do not be fooled by this email - Almeda is charging you $450  to do something that the State Department knows nothing about. They basically laughed in my face. It is an empty promise and is about as useless as toilet paper being used for a wall covering. SCAM is the only description that seems to fit this futile effort.
