West Coast University in Panama Central America was a fake university or not ?

Here's a book you should read:

Degree Mills: The Billion-dollar Industry That Has Sold Over A Million Fake Diplomas (Paperback) by John Bear.

I've read several books by this guy and he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to alternate means of acquiring degrees legitimately. He keeps lists of diploma mills and fake credentialling authorities and makes the information available in his books.

Go to a large library and see which of his books are available.

Another good book by John Bear that I read was Bears' Guide to College Degrees by Mail & Internet: 100 Accredited Schools That Offer Bachelor's, Master's, Doctorates, and Law Degrees by Distance Learning (College Degrees By Mail and Internet) by John Bear and Mariah P. Bear (Paperback - May 2003).
