I decided to share the post recently published on our site hoping the reading would be beneficial for anyone thinking of applying to Ukrainian uni via an agent.
Here is the story:

I am not sure how stuff works in Ukraine but I dealed with UCAS when I applied for UK and that time to apply for five universities I had to pay only twenty something pounds. Isn't $400 too much just for the invitation letter? And is it not the university which issues it so shouldn't the payment be made for the uni instead.
I sent a lot of emails asking them a lot of questions. The replies they sent gave me a shock. One sentence reply and that too in broken English. But the latest email they sent when I asked why I have to pay the the full tiution fee to them and why cannot I pay it to the University directly was simply awesome. The reply they sent is below
DONT DISTURB US AGAIN READ WELL AGAIN
DONT DISTURB US AGAIN, TAKE YOUR FEE AND TAKE IT INTO YOU ***, AND THEN GO ANYWHERE, NOT UKRAINE
Thank you and best regards!

Hi and Thanks for raising an issue on our forum.
Yousaf Khan has failed again. Surprise, surprise....
I have to say that I had not previously considered possible ignorance and stupidity of such a monolithic proportions.
This is just not good enough. Yousaf!
Time to deploy weapons of SARCASM, TEH LULZ and the INTERNET.
Here we go...
I just had a quick look for any info related to EDU-UKRAINE.COM and bingo!!!
EDU-UKRAINE website is being run by the company called Star Consultants
Registrant since 30-Aug-2007

Looks like Yousaf Khan is a Jack of All Trades.
First, a bit of back-story
Yousaf Khan is a familiar face to us and has already been named and shamed in the post called Another Clone we published some time ago.
“Another clone .....
We came across another agent offering services for foreign students.
Company is called Star Education Consultants.
We noticed that STAR EDUCATION CONSULTANTS seems to be a clone of Study in Ukraine agent
Same wording on websites, same arrogance and very generous silly promises:
Read questions and answers below. Does it ring you the bell?
What is the language used in Ukraine?
- The language is Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Polish and Hungarian.
Can we apply for the Work Permit after completion of the program?
- Yes, you can apply for the Work Permit. Universities itself provides job placement in Ukraine and other western countries.

NB: He makes me lough calling himself MD and CEO in one man company. What a star!
Let me tell you something. It seems like the guy has a fetiesh!
It might turn him on to register numerous companies under his name in Ukraine
Here is another one registered under his name in Odessa region of Ukraine
Company Name: Star Education Consultants Ukraine
Street : Oct. Rev. 226 / 30 Street
City : Odessa
Province : Odessa
Country : Ukraine
Zip : 61202
Telephone : more...
Contact : Mr. Yousaf Khan
Doing more research I found that wonna be students in Nigeria just love the guy:
Nigerians Scammed by Asians in Ukraine post from the Forum in Nigeria
…. Agents Company names like EduConsult (Yousuf Khan), Amrik, Raja Veron, and or any Asian name, please avoid them, more names will be posted later I’m telling you this from what I saw, I’m not assuming…
… please I am scared already Agents like Yousaf Khan, I am dealing with him already. Please what do I do? Help because I am already putting what I have got to come to Ukraine….
…. what is the situation of things with Mr Khan, he has refused to pick my calls…..
Also, it was a bit funny to find out that his site has been cloned by someone who called themselves BRIGHT STAR EDUCATION CONSULTANTS

and Yousuf Khan did not like it and started screaming the murder.
Yousuf goes:
- …GUYS!!!
THESE SCAMS BEWARE OF THEM…
WE ARE GENUINE STAR EDUCATION CONSULTANTS WORKING FOR LAST 10 YEARS.
THESE STUPID AGENTS, COPIED AND PASTED ALL OUR MATERIAL AND TRY TO COPY US
THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS, DO NOT TRUST THEM
LOOK GENUINE ONE HERE: WWW. EDU-UKRAINE. COM “
Obviously he did not like it.
Give us a break Yousaf. you are the same like them…one of those irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats!!!
I think there is no point to carry on any further
Services they offer are utter disgrace and the guy should be banned from running any educational business consultancy in Ukraine.
--Isn't $400 too much just for the invitation letter?
It is rip-off and makes me laugh when Yousuf says:
“ Star Education Consultants Ukraine is an exporter of Ukraine Education & Training products. Not only the quality of the goods is superior but also the price is moderate. We sincerely invite you to visit us! ”
- According to their website it is recommended by the Ukrainian Government.
Doubt it a lot but would be interested to speak to the rep of the Ministry of Education in Ukraine. I will let you know the outcome of my conversation with the Ministry representative
--The reply they sent is below
DONT DISTURB US AGAIN, TAKE YOUR FEE AND TAKE IT INTO YOU A**, AND THEN GO ANYWHERE, NOT UKRAINE
Did you pay him any money?
Ok, enough about edu-ukraine.com
We saw your request for info regarding Odessa National Medical University.
Out team member is working on it and will publish an update shortly.
I hope it helps.
