Am a secondary school graduate, I finished two years ago and since I finished I av been trying to get admission but to no avail,so my father and I decided to look abroad for admission.During my research,I got to know about "RACUS" (representing Russian
state universities abroad and enrolling international
citizens for studies) so I went to the website and I was directed to their representative here in port harcout.
The representative and I have undergone the first phase, in which I paid $200,luckily I av received an admission letter which looks a little bit authentic which confirms that I av been admitted to study civil engineering at federal university of north Caucasus Stavropol, Russia.
We are about entering the second phase where I will be paying the sum of $5460 dollar equivalent to #1.1 million naira for tution and other expenses.
My fear is that I don't want to lead my father into the hands of some sophisticated scam organization,it will be unbearable considering his age and the struggling and hustling his facing to give me financial support
please and please I need advice,HELP.

For me I schooled in Nigeria all through so I can't be sure I have a perfect answer. Students schooling in France,Russia etc please you may now comment.
Young man,while you are waiting for advice please do your research on the said representative. Go to the office of this ''representative'' ask people around to tell you how genuine their dealings have been with the public (someone will tell you something interesting in the neighborhood). Search out the school's official website to confirm the authenticity of your admission letter. In fact post the website here for us to help double check. It is too risky to keep paying when you are in doubt, I smell fraud but I may be wrong.
I wish this topic can make front page but the mods decide that.

thanks for your advice I will do as you say.
