Lorenz University – Nothing but a scam!

I found out about Lorenz University while searching for online universities awarding degrees on the basis of prior learning assessment i.e awarding degree based on my life experiences.

My friends did warn me that Lorenz University is a scam and I should apply in some other online university. But I got fooled by the amazing offers on their website and applied there, despite of all the negative feedback about the university.

At that time, I never thought that I am setting myself up for a ‘life experience’, which I can never forget.

All went smoothly in the first phase (registering on Lorenz website), I used my credit card to pay for bachelor’s degree. I was told that my experience is relevant to the requirement of the degree and my documents will be mailed to me in fifteen working days.

As of now, it has been more than fifteen weeks and I’m yet to get any document.

Talking about the agony Lorenz University put me through. After finishing the registration process I waited for my documents to arrive. Fifteen days later, I called the number they have displayed on their website and throughout that day what I got was an automated voice telling me that the network is down.

Day seventeen, after two restless days, someone finally picked my phone and I had to provide all my information again just to verify myself. They guy on the other end of the phone told me that I have failed their assessment and all I can get is a high school diploma.

As tormented as I was, I accepted the offer. He also told me that the amount I have paid in access, a diploma costs less than a bachelor’s degree, will not be refunded as it is my fault that I didn’t proved my credentials properly. At the end of the conversation, I was told that I have to wait for another fifteen working days.

Day thirty-two, shenanigans of Lorenz people continued. On receiving my call the person, very rudely, said, “it is the fifteenth day, be patient.” and hung up!

After this whenever I called, the best I got was that, “ma’am let me transfer your call to our manager.”

Mostly, I had to record my message as no one was there to pick up the phone.

Countless months have passed and still I don’t have a degree or a diploma. No one in Lorenz picks up my phone call. I think they have my no saved and put on an ignore list!

This post is just to advice people that trust me when I say that Lorenz University is only there to give you a life experience, a very tormenting one. They are nothing but a scam company fleecing people.

Fake Lorenz University Degrees for $1000 ONLY

Back in March 2010, I applied for, and got a Bachelor’s Degree first, then a Master’s Degree in Photography from Lorenz University. Since then I have faxed seven degree verification requests as per the process but all in vain. Redding University never responds to degree verification request. Even I tried calling them a hundred times; however, not a single call was answered. They might also have added my number to IGNORE LIST.

I have been working as a free-lance photographer for 7 years. The experience I have; qualifies me for the stated degrees. My application forms were accepted without any issue and I paid $499 for each degree. The total investment of $1000 has reaped no fruits till now; moreover, I lost seven excellent opportunities because my documents were not verified by the university.

I will vote in favor of living an uneducated life but earning a degree from lorenz University. Please search other credible universities for life experience degrees and distance education but never fall for the only fake university stated above.

Lorenz don’t even verify their own degrees!

Lorez University, what more can I add to their memories of swindling people. I am very glad to get a proper forum to vent my anger. As Lorenz guys don’t even bother to take my calls. Yes, indeed they also have victimized me. Unlike most of you, I did get my documents (after two months). However, my troubles started after getting my documents.

I applied for the job I needed the degree for and I was selected. They asked me to submit my documents. With my fingers crossed, I gave them all my documents including my Lorenz University’s master’s degree. The HR people told me that they would contact me as soon as my documents and references are verified.

Three days later, I got a call from the HR guy that my university is not responding and the Master’s Degree is yet to be verified. On further inquiry, he told me that the verification number I provided is now disconnected.

I quickly logged on to Lorenz University website and noted down their new contact number. I dialed the provided contact number and asked the person to verify my master’s degree. I was put on hold, and that was the last I heard from them.

I wasted my money, lost a very good job opportunity and got myself a bad name in the local job market. I curse Lorenz people for ripping off innocent people. My advice is to stay away from Lorenz University; they are nothing but a scam.

The real face of Lorenz University

It’s a diploma mill pure and simple. You may be requested to submit some type of documentation for having it reviewed, but there is 100% acceptance, 100% graduation for anybody who submits the valid credit card number.

An Lorenz degree carries no value, and any organization doing a perfunctory check can discover the fact. Lorenz University is a fake online university, awarding unaccredited degrees to anyone with a credit card. You get to know its non-accredited and fake status when you call their advisory services; the contact number they have given on their website is mostly inaccessible, and even if they receive your call, which is highly unlikely, they transfer it to other irrelevant people and never answer your queries or questions.

In reality there are no advisors of Lorenz University. They are actually sales people, trying to either sell the product or negotiate as per the case. Their aim is to sell as much worth-less papers, ACCREDITED DEGREES, as they can for commission maximization.

Such universities are simply ruining the industry of online educational institutions, particularly universities awarding degrees based on life experience.

Do not go for an Lorenz degree EVEN IF THEY CHARGE YOU WITH SHIPMENT FEE ONLY.
