American Global University School of Medicine Beware of this sham school! Columbus, Ohio

15th of Aug, 2011 by User618066

I had been out of medical school for some time, taking care of personal matters and then I decided to go back. I had the unfortunate idea of applying to this offshore school and doing my clinical rotations here in the US.
I figured that since the school has not been around all that long, it wouldn't be hard for me to get in and finish, since I had already completed most of my studies. So I applied to this school, knowing that I would get in,as I was qualified.
The school accepted me quickly and began making promises to place me in a Florida rotation. I was advised by Peggy Allen ( Advisor, CEO, President, Chief Admissions Officer and whatever else she decides to be depending on what day of the week it is), that instead of paying the deposit for my seat, I should pay for medical malpractice insurance-to the tune of $1100. I did so, and as soon as she got the money, she went AWOL. Calls weren't returned, a letter sent return receipt never had the receipt sent back, emails were unanswered. This triggered an immediate "scam alert" bell in my mind.
I decided to withdraw from the school when I realized that there was no clinical rotation placement, no medical malpractice insurance purchased on my behalf, nothing really. I notified them and asked for my $1100 back. That's when Miss Allen turned up again! She began calling me!
I stood my ground because I knew I'd been had and then she began sending me the most bizarre, hysterical emails talking about all she had done for me. For a minute, I was wondering if I had some type of relationship with her that I couldn't remember. She told me that she would not give me my money back but would instead apply it to the deposit-which was $1000 at the time. So clearly two things are apparent here. She was admitting that she had not purchased my insurance (although she would later tell the Ohio Attorney General Office that she had) and she obviously can't subtract because if she was allowed to get away with changing the terms and conditions of her contract in this way, she still owes me $100.
I reported her to the Columbus Ohio BBB and they got nowhere with her. They closed the case, telling me that she failed to respond to further questions they asked. Plus they provided me with a laundry list of all the evasive tactics she used to not answer their questions at first.
So then I reported her to the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Before I could file my complaint, the clerk informed me that this school was already in their database. It turns out that this school had ripped off a Miss A. Ngo, to the tune of at least $8000 and then Miss Allen made up the most incredible lies when she reported them to the Attorney General.
Miss Ngo realized that it was a sham school as soon as she arrived at their headquarters in Belize. She and her parents turned right around and left because the conditions were such a shock to them. I got in touch with Miss Ngo and she told me that she never received a penny back from them, although there are numerous emails where they promise to refund every cent. This is all public knowledge on the Ohio Attorney General Database. It makes for interesting reading.
Currently the school is being investigated by the Ohio Attorney General's office and it is being evasive, I have been told. No surprise there. Miss Allen is one of a kind and not in a positive way. It has a negative record with the Columbus Ohio BBB and it will soon be investigated by another agency that I won't mention at this time. They will shortly find out about it.
If any lawyers read this and are interested in taking up the case, please let me know because Miss Allen has gone on record as making up some outrageous lies about me in an attempt to defend herself and appear respectable and innocent. And something needs to be done about that. I can back up my every claim with facts. All she has are lies which will soon be exposed.
