While I'm also highly suspicious of this based on the price, the page clearly states that you still have to complete the academic program (and that you have 24 months to do so), so it's not a simple diploma mill. I don't know how or if they're accredited (I'm guessing not), but there is more to it than just buying the degree.
A quick search results:

https://eu-business-school.pissedconsume...eview.html
I don't think that any of these links relate to the school in the Groupon. There are several schools with similar sounding names.

This "school" seems to have a completely moodle-based course setup and then award degrees based on the accreditation of Universidad Isabel I in Spain. They claim that they can award ECTS European credits.
I don't think that there is enough info. yet to say that this is or is not "legitimate." I have taught and taken enough economics classes to question this groupon from an opportunity cost basis. A WGU MBA is not that much more expensive and it is very definitely legitimate. Given the time that it would take to complete this groupon, it might be best to dedicate the time to the WGU degree regardless of the cost in this offer.
