FutureLearn (mostly from UK Unis) and Coursera (mostly from US Unis) are reliable and not scams. Just dont bother paying anything - because you don't need to prove you did these by having the certificates - and be aware that for certain vocational degree subjects, the courses offered by non-UK Unis may not reflect UK conditions/regulations.

What is you intended degree subject?
