University Of Phoenix Ripoff Spam Scam Annoyers Mesa Arizona
Every frickin day when I'm on my computer at home, I keep getting spammed with highly annoying pop up ads from this highly annoying outfit called "University of Phoenix", an online college. By highly annoying, I do mean highly annoying. Is there some free way to stop getting these unwanted stupid spam messages from these bozos? I eliminated most annoying telemarketers with the 800DONOTCALL list. What about spams?
If you get spammed by this wonderful educational outfit, and are thinking of handing over thousands of you hard earned dollars to them to get a degree, READ PAST RIPPOFF REPORTS ABOUT THEM FIRST. Thats right students, do your homework well. Once again, READ PAST RIPPOFF REPORTS ABOUT THEM. Listen up University of Phoenix, the only education I want from you is to figure out how to stop your annoying as h*ll spam pop up ads. Jerks.

My respond to the first customer: get a pop up blocker from yahoo.com or msn.com, it is FREE. Some comments about U of P: it feels good to have a degree in your resume no matter where did you get them, as long as it is legal and you did pay for hard work and money.

Kudos to you Robin, for having the ambition to better yourself with a degree from U of P. For you and thousands of others, I'm sure it was money well spent.
If I came across as accusing U of P as a total rippoff,then my apologies ,especially to U of P.Judging from past rippoff reports,some appear to be nothing but sour grapes,some legitimate,and some falling somewhere in between.
No college or business for that matter is perfect.And there are thousands who made a wise choice in choosing U of P. You mention I should do homework as well. In regards to popup ads and telemarketers , I've done lots of homework.May I give a brief class in regards to this subject my students.You may already know it all,but I won't charge a penny.
Lesson 1.The real boiled down to reason a company sends out to you a pop up ad is because they want money from you.They dont send popups just to say hello.
Lesson 2.They know beforehand that they will annoy a good number of people with thier popups for every person that responds.
Lesson 3.It doesnt bother thier minds that they will annoy thousands of people as long as they can make money from those that respond.
Lesson 4. They knowingly have a choice not to send popups and annoy people,but they chose to ignore that choice in thier quest to make money.
Lesson 5.Out of all of the legit popups out there,many,many, are either partly or flat out decieving scams in one way or the other.
Lesson 6.Since so many are devious,all companies sending popups need to considered suspect and scrutinized highly.
Lesson 7., There are other ways of advertising your business without using a lowdown method that will, knowingly before hand, intrude on peoples time and annoy them. If you understand these lessons you get an A+.
Since I started keeping a tally, I have counted 22 annoying popups from this outfit,though the total count is well over 50 easily,3 of them when I was in the middle of some very important work on my computer.
Its true I never took classes thru U of P,and have no grounds to consider them a rippoff myself,and my apologies,if thats the way it came across.
or the uncaring way that U of P has wasted my time with thier bombardment of unwanted popups,they owe me and thousands of others an apology as well.Big time.

Are you just annoyed by the Spam or have you ever attended U of P? I will be graduating in September and because Of U of P, I have a wonderful job and knowledge to advance in my field. Maybe you should do homework. I admit the SPAM is annoying and can understand your frustration, but this does not make the school a rip off.
