Time to do the right thing again. (Cheater selling EC test answers...)

[chris_at_lucas_RN]

We've been here before. I posted this sort of thing once before and several people from here queried EC and ebay about it, and the items were pulled. (Thank you!!!)

This is an even more brazen individual than that last one. Multiple items and somehow has the auctions going until March or April (didn't know you could do that!). When you look at these item descriptions, if you have any sense of academic integrity, you are going to gag. I think it must be worse for us EC alums and students.

So I am asking again for some strength in numbers.

Here is the URL for complaining to ebay: http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/index.html

Here is the phone number for complaining to Excelsior College: 1-888-647-2388. School of nursing is ext 1314. Test administration is ext 16. I think those two cover it.

Here are the item numbers for the ebay items.

5948549942

4511070698

4511075930

4511078375

5942053561

5942057144

5942059283

5942066379

5942100840

You can just look up one, then click on "view seller's other items," and you will get these (assuming we haven't already succeeded!) and any others that are subsequently listed.

Please complain. This kind of crime proliferates when we do nothing because we think it doesn't affect us personally. But cheating demeans the rep of our school, and therefore our credential, and us as nurses who graduated from Excelsior College through our own hard work.

Go get 'em!

And thanks.

Upon reviewing the situation, Dandalora, you have to understand there is a WORLD of difference between selling a study guide for NCLEX, and selling the acutal test questions and answers. EVERYONE uses study guides to prepare for NCLEX. As a matter of fact, I myself used the U.S. guide to prepare for my Canadian exam, and passed on the first try. (I also studied really hard, as well as doing the sample questions in the study guide.)

Selling actual exam papers is unethical, and, as far as I know, ILLEGAL.

Chris is selling a study guide for NCLEX, with sample questions. It is the AUTHOR of the guide (NOT Chris) who is making a 'money back guarantee.' While that makes me raise my eyebrows, I believe there is nothing illegal about making such a guarantee. Along with the guide, Chris is offering free of charge, his own study tips and hints, based on his own personal experience. I have NO problem with that. It's like an experienced coach, giving his players advice. The players still have to get out there, and play the game THEMSELVES.

I am re-opening the thread. Please refrain from personally attacking Chris, or anyone else on this website.

Thank you.
