It IS the number for Western Governors University - which IS an accredited online college where you can complete your bachelor's or master's degree. They have four areas - Nursing, Teaching, Business, and Information Technology. Try looking them up online - it is for real. It is also not that easy to get into, so no one is trying to 'trick you' into attending. If they called you 'unsolicited', then it is most like a wrong number. That's all. I hate the fake solicitation calls from random numbers as much as anyone, but sheesh, at least recognize when the call may be due to a legitimate mistake and chill. I got called from this number today and I am in process of enrolling, which is why they called. I didn't recognize the number so I checked here, as soon as I saw it was WGU I called them back, and it was a missed call from my enrollment counselor. No big conspiracy.
It's not a scam. It's a legitimate, accredited university called Western Governor's University. I work at a community college. We've been informed about this school as an option for our graduates to get a 4-year degree. It's now one of the accredited schools of Washington State. If you're at all interested in going back to school, it's good option.
If they do cold calling then it is reliable to assume it is a SCAM and to act accordingly. If they are legit, they do not need to be cold calling anybody. Do you work in the boiler room there? Sure sounds like it!
Gee. Touchy touchy. I didn't get insulting with you at all, so I don't feel your comment was necessary. However, your attitude may just reveal that you're not intelligent enough to get into college. If you find yourself at all capable of doing so, you may look them up on the internet. They're not a scam. Good luck in your endeavors to improve yourself.
I second that. WGU is awesome. I am a student there as well. Special Ed. It is a legit number and if you call them Im sure they would remove you from any list you may be on.
