Jefferson High School Online $200 promise that you won't get hired! Internet, Internet
I completed an online test through this website and payed $200 for a diploma. Never had any problems with getting a job until today. I was hired by Comcast cable and in an attempt to confirm my education they found that this program was in fact not accredited as they claim and due to this I'm no longer eligible for the position that I was offered. Today's economy is horrible and these companies take advantage of that and those who are trying to better themselves! I have been out of work for over a year and now it will continue because of SCAMMERS like this!

Try actually working for a GED or High School diploma. You screwed yourself by trying to take the easy way out. Stop blaming others and start taking responsibility for your own actions.

They DID not come to your door, you hunted them down for your "quick" educational false degree.
Lesson learned, you are no smarter today then you were when you did go to school.
Well except now you are smart enough to understand and respect that education means investing TIME and EFFORT to apply yourself to the final goal. THEY did NOT have a gun to your head, you applied Freely and willingly. Here is my free lesson...Say No to those scandruls that pop up on you internet screen and threaten you to apply for their degrees!

While I with half of what you posted. Being charged $200 for taking a test and getting a diploma is no different than paying over $150 for one at a local college. Fact is I was in a tough spot and needed a diploma and I fell victim to these crooks! I will even go as far to say that I should have stayed in school in the first place but I had a bunch of family affairs at that time and I decided to work to help my mother pay bills. I'm just hoping that people see this and take from it so that they themselves don't have to deal with what I have.

Indeed. Just check out Charles in Phenix City, who posts his illiterate gibberish on here. He bought a "high school diploma" online several years ago and is STILL unemployable. Why don't you just go to your local community college and take the 6 week GED course. At least that would be legitimate.

" I completed an online test through this website and payed $200 for a diploma. "
If real diplomas were that easy to get, why would anyone waste 4 years in school? You had to know that this was not a real diploma.
" Today's economy is horrible and these companies take advantage of that and those who are trying to better themselves! "
Buying a diploma is not bettering yourself. I can buy a PhD online, but that doesn't make me a doctor, nor am I any better educated than before I bought the degree.
" I have been out of work for over a year and now it will continue because of SCAMMERS like this! "
Had you spent your year and a half studying for and passing the GED, THAT would have qualified as bettering yourself. Bottom line, short cuts like this diploma mill may occasionally fool an employer, but don't bet on it. I agree that they're a ripoff, but it requires that their customers be complicit in trying to game the system.
