Belford high school scam: Investigative reports from News Channel 5

Talk to the nice folks at your local adult education center about obtaining a GED. It may cost a bit, and you'll have to work to get it. But you'll have something you can be proud of, and that you can use to better yourself down the road.

I got mine from them over 2 years ago. Went to cosmotology school and graduated. Now im in my 9 month of Massage Therapy school and will be done with that in 6 months. So i know for experiences that this is not a scam!!

YOU ARE WELCOME!!!

Belford is a scam...end of subject. Some for profit trade schools will accept anything and some do not even require a GED or HSD to enter. However you cannot get into a real academic school or half decent job with a belford diploma.

Plz dont fall for this belford school .. I paid for my son to get his diploma and would not get him into the college. Its fake so plz dont believe what u read on this site. I payed for his diploma and was told it was fake for colledge.. What a scam
they say all kinds of lies so beware befour u pay for this fake school. My son did get the diploma was discoved a fake. This school isnt evan with the BBB. So we have to start all over again and get a real diploma.

I looked into that school and it looked shady to me.

My daughter was homeschooled after 7th grade. The public school were I live suck and the violence was getting bad.

When she was "technically" in 11 grade I looked into the internet diploma thing. Belford was one of them.

I decided against it and went the GED route. I bought he book "McGraw-Hills GED , The most complete and reliable study program for the GED test". I got it used on Amazon for a really great price. The book has practices tests. You take the test and then score. In problem areas it tells you exactly what to study in the book. She studied that book as well as some online GED information and tests.

She passed her GED test with flying colors and was done with high school a year ahead of her peers at age 17.

They also offer a lot of free GED classes at community centers and libraries. My daughter could not do these because she was not 18 but I wanted to point it out. They also have a GED show on public televsion that discusses each part of the test.

Colleges accept the GED and the GED scores. It might be better to just study and get the GED.

Yes i have heard lots of story about this ged program that is ripping people off. I would stay away from this and any other business on www.ripoffreport.com

it's fake, my friend got one and tried to go to beauty school who quickly turned her down and said it's nothing but a piece of paper.
she spent less money at the community college and got her GED and is now enrolled in the classes she wanted to get into.

if it's a fraud is there not a place to report this.

They have been reported...over and over again. But the people are always looking for an easy way out.

I am a recruiter for the US ARMED FORCES and had a young man come in with this diploma from Belford. Read their accredations... they are nothing worth value. The diploma is not recognized by the United States and thus not usable to satisfy the education recquirment for the military either I later discovered. On the phone they claim it will work for the military. It does not. The applicant also had approx 250 taken with out recieving his credentials in the mail and had to reorder a 2nd time for additional money all for nothing. These folks are a rip off and are very clever scammers. Try cornerstone christian correspondence course. It is accredited, will work for the military and is $80 with a 3 week turnaround... or contact a military recruiter. Prefferably the National Guard

Thanks for the post Recruiter...and for your service!

I paid for this. And its fake. Can i get my money back.....

what! you would have to contact them or perhaps go through the BBB (better yet, report them for fraud!). I do not know if they will refund you

do u think this is any good i past my test but now they are waiting on the money someone please tell me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

read the thread!! It is a worthless piece of paper.
