Is Baytown University Fake?

Hello, Few months back I got a call from [b]Baytown University [/b]which said I can get a degree based on my life experience. I got an MBA degree for $500. I showed it to my employer and as per the HR its an unaccredited degree ‘Diploma Mill’ being run from South Asia, probably Pakistan. I want to inform all people to stay away from them. Its an unaccredited university and due to it I almost lost my job. Now i’m finding my way to get my full refund (chargeback will be my last resort). Moderator: Kindly share your view on this scam and diploma mill.
