I don't see anything wrong at all with the website, and it is what would be expected to see for a real College Website

I don't think much of the English, especially from a language school, but there's nothing about the website that says scam. Scammers do steal the identities of real businesses though. What email address did it come from?

I did a Google search for a bit of text. These are the results:

On http://www.edencollege.co.uk/whystudywithus.html they say:
At Eden College we are committed to our learners, and believe everyone can fulfil their potential. We have a dedicated team of staff who all work hard to ensure all learners at the College have a fulfilling experience through a person centred approach. We are flexible in our approach and work in partnership with a range of organizations to ensure all our learners achieve their desired qualifications and ultimately achieve their career goals.
We also ensure through our flexiable approach that we work with all our stakeholders, clients and partner organisations to ensure we deliver a cost effective, innovative and efficient service. We strive to improve our services at all times and welcome feedback both from learners, stakeholders, partners and funding agencies and add Equality and diversity underpins our work at all times


The text is lifted off the site of another college:
http://manchestertechnologycollege.com/faculty.html
At MCHEMT we are committed to our learners, and believe everyone can fulfil their potential. We have a dedicated team of staff who all work hard to ensure all learners at the College have a fulfilling experience through a person centred approach. We are flexible in our approach and work in partnership with a range of organizations to ensure all our learners achieve their desired qualifications and ultimately achieve their career goals.
The strength of our college lies with our Staff and lecturers. Each is a specialist in their field. Their experience in all aspects of the industry, coupled with their educational background, enables them to best understand administrative processes, classroom practice, to embrace diverse methodologies and to best suit the needs of individual students.
Students will obtain a sound academic education and receive good practical teaching from teachers and lecturers who are actively working in their areas of expertise. They are able to communicate in the classroom the knowledge and experience they have gained over many years in their related fields.

To add to Arnold's remarks, their spelling of "programme" or "program" varies on their different pages which might be the result of copying from both British and US websites.

To make a long story short: It is most definitely fishy, and I'd keep off.

I WOULD ADD THE FOLLOWING DISCAIMER FROM MANCHESTER COLLEGE.
DISCLAIMER:
Students must not pay any fees to any agents, all payments must be made in a form of bankers draft / bank transfer in favor(US SPELLING)of the Manchester College of Higher Education & media ( NO CAPITAL LETTER)Technology. There are no fee collecting agents of the college.( SHOULD BE COMMA) In any of the locations other than the admission office based in United Kingdom.
If any students pays referral fee/registration fee or tuition fee to any agents or representative they do it on their own risk. On arrival student must pay the full enrolment fee.

I would make a guess that this shows a possible history of misrepresentation and that the College is trying to circumvent the possibility in future. It is possible that the same thing is being done here with Eden College, and that a so called "agent" could arrive in due course and want money transfers by Western Union or Moneygram.
It's no surprise these days that English English is degraded and lack of literacy is a common problem. Spell checkers can't spell.

Ode to a Spell Checker

I have a spelling checker
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.

Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid too wine.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Caws Eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.

Alex, your brother has been scammed out of tens of thousands? This is terrible! :woahdude:

Maybe you could encourage him to post here, we'd love to warn future victims of this scumbag. :bondage:
And if with his help we can gather more information we can get shut down a fraudulent website.

In the meantime, I'll try to find out more about "Freda Jacobson".
by alex99 Mon Aug 08, 2011 2:01 pm

I agree, there will be no way your brother can get back what he lost. :cry:
But at least we may be able to slow down the bastard's business.
When you post information - e.g. the scammer's emails complete with headers - be sure to delete your brother's details (name, address, email address).
If you are not sure how to get the headers, please look here:

Any information will help.
