Question Posted Monday January 4 2010, 3:30 pm

i just filled out something online tog et information about online courses. I filled in my real address real number and real name. I never do this but for some reason i just did it today becasue i figured its for school. Well about 1 min after I sent it I got a call from the "university" I am finding it very awkward that I would get a call right away. The people kept asking where i "live at" I found them to be very unprofessional and did not disclose any informationa nd claimed that I did not send them any information. i am scared that they are some type of fraud. the school is CTU. I am scared and am wondering if they can do anything with my name address and numeber? And what i should do to make sure they do not get any more information! i have sent an email saying I did not request information and do not want to affiliate with them? Any ideas on what I should do, or if I am overreacting?

I wouldn't stress over it i'm sure the information
you did give them won't be given out seeing as it is a college if it wasn't a school then you'd have a reason to be concerned i don't think it's some type of fraud wait it out and be patient see if they send you a e-mail back if they do make your decision whether or not you want to affiliate
with them try and get the situation straightened out if you still want nothing to do with them then find another school and move on i'm sure you'll be fine(:

My husband and I did the same thing. honestly they will call again tell them you enrolled in a college already and you would like to be off their calling list. Then go to your community college or a near by university. ask them about their online courses. you know their 100% legit. good luck with school!
