Fraud calls for attestation of a fake university degree

Hi

I would like to ask for some advice.

I had a degree from the US Nixon University based on experience too and had the full attested version of the degree sent. I’ve never used the degree and have never submitted these degrees myself for any attestation in the UAE.

This was in 2013. Never heard anything from anyone up until November 2017 from Dubai foreign affairs of education stating that the degree I have is fake and I would need a cancellation number from Nixon University to cancel the degree.

He then put me on a call to the US with the attorney of Nixon. I had to pay $2000 immediately. I then had this same call again in Jan 2018 first week and the 3rd week of Jan 2018 then again in March 2018.

I had to pay every time to get a cancellation number for the guy in the foreign affairs of education in Dubai and he assured this will be the last time and this process will end everything and clear my name.

Dear Questioner

Kindly note that you were obviously subject to fraud extortion because of such degree you got online.

It is very obvious because the UAE authorities will never ask you to pay any fees to any third party entity!

Next time you get such call, you should not pay and report them to the cyber crime department of Dubai Police.
