Trinity Southern U or NAPLACU - Any Info ???

Anyone know anything about Trinity Southern University?
(aside from the fact that their URL is suspect...)
(http://twinfallsproduce.net/degrees)

This is their accreditation statement:
quote
Trinity Southern University has been accreditated by the National Association of Prior Learning Assessment Colleges and Universities (NAPLACU).
end quote

Who is NAPLACU ???


thanks !!!

 

An unrecognized accreditor, established with the sole purpose of fooling people into thinking they are enrolling in a legitimately accredited school. Stay away.

Trinity Southern University is interesting because I believe that it is a FAKE degree mill -- i.e. a bogus non-operating degree mill set up by a REAL degree mill only so that the operators of the real degree mill can compare themselves favorably against it ("now that's a real fraud over there").

Devious, these degree millers.

 

Looks like Trinity College and University in a brand new set of clothes.

 

Sounds like pig-Carpathian to me!

 

It seems that the school just closed doors since the link is broken.

 

I just got the AOL spam mentioned by DrPhibes:

The link was to http://www.janetp39.com/cl/sohvmrqazexbcx2oxvgpsv7, which redirects to http://www.trinitysouthernuniversity.org/.

According to http:///www.whois.net, the contact for janetp39.com is:

Desmond Jones ([email protected])
1509 Myrtle Street
Scranton, PA 18510

The contact for awesomeleads.com is:

Dave Graves ([email protected])
1114 E. John Sims Pkwy
Niceville, FL 32578

So, OxPecker's ingenious surmise that Trinity Southern University is "a FAKE degree mill" seems to have been wrong.

 

I have now received another spam for this 'university'. The address from was an address at swtgurl13.com. Guess what? It's also registered to a Desmond Jones.

It's easy to sum Trinity Southern University up. It does not exist. Neither does the university in Argentina it is 'linked' to. Still, you can get a nicely printed certificate sent from someone in Argentina saying you have a degree at a non-existant university in Texas, all for several hundred $$$'s. And if you are not happy you can get your money back, minus $40 for the printing costs. You might as well print your own 'degree certificate' out.

Avoid like the plague. I'm amazed that this outfit have managed to operate for so long. seems they have been 'provider-hopping'.

 

Haven't heard of Desmond and Molly Jones since I got too old to polka.

 

Hi folks,

Take a look at the info here:

http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/home/g-gollin/nonCHEA/#trinity_southern_university

They fabricate transcripts. It's dirty, and a "degree" from them is the proverbial time-bomb-in-the-cv.

From the above link:

I'm at a loss for words,

 

Trinity Southern SCAM SCAM SCAM

Trinity Southern scam is up and running again! Hurry to get your worthless, bogus degree!

Latest web site is at

http://www.apc823.com/

and guess what! What? You can get your credit card debts consolidated by going to

http://www.apc823.com/debt/

Isn't that a happy coincidence? Same domain name! Seems like they have no shame! This credit card consolidation page is another one of their (whoever they are) pages without any contact information -- a cop out to the fact that they are crooks.

NAPLAC ??? That is confirmed BS and I'm not talking about Bachelor of Science.

Stay away from Trinity Southern -- it is a total scam!!!

 

SPAM

I don't think I would even consider a school or program that markets itself through SPAM.

It feels like a scam!

 

NAPLAC

I think the following demonstrates that NAPLAC is a bogus organization. A little reseach will show that NAPLAC is operated by the same people that operate the fake degree mill know as Trinity Southern University. TSU (as they sometimes call themselves) hops from web host to web host as they are booted off for spammiong and scamming. Read these two emails...

I sent this email to NAPLAC:

What kind of accrediting organization would want to keep it a secret? I think the answer is clear: A bogus one!
