Penn Foster Their medical transcription "course" is a scam! Taylor, Pennsylvania

I started taking the Medical Transcription course offered by Penn Foster, because it was what I could afford.  I was paying in monthly installments.  About halfway through the "Micky Mouse" course, I realized that this is not going to get me a job!  I was halfway through the training and had not even started learning any medical terminology.  That's ridiculous! 

So, I stopped paying them and they stopped sending me materials.  But they still wanted the full payment!  I refuse to pay for something I do not want and did not receive.  Now, they have a "lawyer" contacting me by letter, threatening that they will report this to the credit reporting agencies if I don't pay. 

I think the "lawyer" is a scam, too.  The letter is on cheap copy paper and sounds like the letter I got yesterday about the "acai juice" scam, where they claim I owe $133.95!  It seems like everything on the internet is a scam!
