i requested there cd for grant funding that was only supposed to be 1.98 which was taken out of my checking account by grant funding search. And then 69.95 charge was taken out under a different company name different than grant funding search, so you dont recognize where the charge is for. i cant find the website that they are listed under either. i contacted the company 1-888-210-2544 and asked to speak to a supervisor or manager and every time i called neither can be reached. all they would say im sorry but you have to read the fine print. im sorry a manager isn't available. who ever heard of being charged 70 dollars a month to look on there website. they are a shady company and i cancelled my credit card because of them. i couldnt even imagine doing business with a company that is corrupt as them. i plan on going to the local news about there little scam they have going and made my bank aware of fraudulent withdrawl from my account, and they are investigating it also. if i have to i will have my lawyer contact them just to get the 70 dollars back that isn't theres. i would love for this so called government grant company to have to pay back everyone they have scammed, and actually go under and see how it feels to have money taken from them that doesnt belong to them. i wish somebody would sock it to this company, i know im going to try!!! they could keep there 1.98 cd!!

I ordered a 1.98 CD a advertised on the internet for a listing of available grants. Without my permission, they used my credit card number and charged my account another $69.95 without my authorization. I attempted to contact them about the fraud but got the run around. I checked there web site and there are many complaints such as mine. It appears to be mail fraud. When they get your card number for $1.98 they then take out another $69.95 which I did not authorized. They said I had seven days to return the CD if I did not want it, which I was also unaware of that. It took eleven days for the CD to arrive via US Mail. By thr time I got the CD they had already drafted my account and stolen my money.

I thought these guys were here to help and was I wrong. They deducted $1.98 for the cd that I ordered which took 2 weeks to get. When I received the cd it was crap. I then looked at my bank statement and they had deducted another $69.95 for the use of there sight which I never used and tried to cancel. When you are looking for help, it seems as if people want to take advantage of you. I was trying to get some help to go back to school, and now I am going financially backwards because of these scam artists.

I too have been scammed, I haved called and called. I even got a confirmation # for the refund to my account. But 40 days later no money. the # i have for them is 888-210-2544. Now I am told that the problem is with the billing department and they would not give me the phone number of the billing department. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and was told the supervisor was on another line.
I have documented every conversation and will copy all of the complaints on this site and go to my bank today (again) with the details.

Watch out! Grant Funding Search and My GrantSite / Grant Master CD supposed 'free' CD offer (you just pay shipping) is a scam! Initially they take your couple of dollars (for shipping the CD) and never send you any CD. Then, to top it all off, if you don't cancel within 7 days, they take another$40 - $70 from your account! By the time you call their phone 'customer service', it's too late. You've been had. The terms are NOT disclosed anywhere when you click to submit. When you call, they'll direct you to another website (.net site that lists the terms) instead of the (.com site that doesn't list any terms) you signed up on and pull the old switch-a-roo! It's fraud I tell you. I got stuck by 3 different similar outfits, so never again.

Maybe my expensive & painful learning experience will help you - BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE of these 'free grant searches & free money cd's'!

You can protect yourself by doing a google search on the company BEFORE you sign up (now he tells me that!). So sorry I believed them. The above businesses are deceptive, fraudulent, un-ethical and are practicing cutthroat on innocent consumers.
