Now here's an offer for distance learning that we're SURE you can resist. Please don't call the number. The sender of this email originates from the UK and they provide an Illinois phone number. Upon searching the phone number in Google, one of the search results said, "Got a call from 309-409-4502/3094094502? This spammer is making it short, probably to avoid spamfilters. Sent from an infected computer, of course." (Source: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-309-409-4502)

The phone number also came up for the site www.vzw-bachelor.be. You can view the Google cached version of this page (for your protection) here: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:ZewhwrBDYTwJ:www.vzw-bachelor.be/verderstuderen/internetdiploma.htm+309-409-4502&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3. This then leads you to the site www .vhighereducation.com (please don't go there directly, as the host computer may be infected).

Not only is the email message garbage, but it's quite a trip around the world for a non-accredited degree, don't you think?
