A colleague who has requested information from many phonies got an unsolicited phone call from the 'registrar' of Andersen University, ostensibly in Sacramento, California, offering him the degree of his choice for about $1,600. The caller could not or would not provide an address in Sacramento, and the URL he gave -- www.andersenuniversity.org -- seems not to be operational. (Definitely 'Andersen' with an 'e')
Mmm, well the domain hasn't even be registered yet. -------------------------------------------------- andersenuniversity.org Register Now! Available for Registration at MarkMonitor ---------------------------------------------------- Cheers, George
Now they have a website, just registered: www.andersenu.org The address in Sacramento, California 5431 Auburn Blvd. Suite 252 Sacramento, CA 95841 seems to be the New Dawn Recovery Center, a residential facility for drug and alcohol detox.
Call me paranoid, but this smells of a UDP spinoff. The look, feel of the site, and the reverse approach of cold calling. Mmmm. Registrant details as follows: Registrant Name:Martin L Thomas Registrant Street1:11028 Chandler Blvd Registrant Street2: Registrant Street3: Registrant City:North Hollywood Registrant State/Province:California Registrant Postal Code:91601-3226 Registrant Country:US Registrant Phone:+1.8187541087 Registrant Phone Ext.: Registrant FAX: Registrant FAX Ext.: Registrant Email:[email protected] Cheers, George
it's a UDP clone. Compare the monkey-pants wazoo that is Anderen University with the steaming pile of slok that is Ashbourne University. It will make you laugh and shriek, both at the same time.
