I have been contacted by 3 different people about finding a grant for my needs. Grant funding direct is only one of the companies that had my debit card number and home phone, but my bank account has been charged $1.87 for a CD and email by Grant Funding Source. The number they gave me to call for support is 800-558-0064. This is not a valid number. If these people call you, HANG UP ON THEM!! They are crooks!!

i'm getting withdrawls from my account that was not authorize by myself or my wife

My complaint is same as others I have read, but maybe someone can give me guidance!
My debit card is being charged $59.95 for nothing! I never received ANYTHING, but sadly I did authorize the $3.95!
HOW can I stop these charges? If it was not an 'established' checking account I would simply close it, but I have so many account linked to this.
I request a refund for $59.95, but I do not hold much faith that THAT will happen!

I got 2 consecutive months of an unauthorized withdrawal from my credit card and all I gave them was the initial mailing cost of $3.95 of a mailing package that Grant Funding Source claims there has the informations of writing a grant.

Too bad I am a victim of this scam of "helping people get free grant" that I need to assist my mother's medical needs.

Yesterday I got another phone call from a "Grant Writing Magic" company who also wants me to send them the $3.95 for mailing me a booklet and an audio CD. I offer to pay only via money order or cashier check and they got very perturbed, saying that they must have my credit card number in order to give me "free" access to their website and start to obtain grant money as soon as possible. them Yet I still refused to give them my card information and even told them that another organization like theirs is costing me unauthorized lost on a monthly basis. You, how they are persistent and still trying to convince me to give them the $3.95 inititial withdrawal. So I told them to call me some other time.

What it is, is that they just want me to give them my credit card number for this transaction and then they are free to withdraw a fixed amount monthly b/c the credit card co. only need a one time authorization for an organization to continuing withdrawal w/o further authorization from the card owner. it is an un-heard-of policy to me! Well, but that is how Grant Writing Magic successfully got their first monthly withdrawal from my account and hereafter.
What is the use of my authorization if my credit card co. is deciding for me! That's the flaw that's been feeding on.

I rethink on the free grant issue and realize that it really has no definite time limit on the monthly membership payment until anyone should really see their grant proposal accepted. AND THERE IS NO GUARANTY WHETHER ANY GRANT PROPOSAL IS ACCEPTED. Besides, these grant seeking co. play the " don't say I didn't tell you " strategy: ONLY WHEN SOMEONE WRITE AS MANY GRANT PROPOSAL AS POSSIBLE AND SEEK FROM AS MANY SOURCES AS POSSIBLE WILL GET THE GRANT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE".
Beware of this statement. It is full of possibilities and nothing warrant. All they will tell you, I suppose, if someone complains to them the sight of grant money, they will use the aforementioned assumption to refute. Very clever and coning.

There is more, the Grant Writing Magic people say to me that only those who are disabled, unemployed and need medical grant on a monthly basis would be required a monthly payment to the co. Since Grant Funding Source has been withdrawing for me so I asked if there is any other category of applicant. Listen to this: they said there is NO category. So does it mean that the Grant Funding Source people just assumed I "as any other applicant" am disabled and unemployed and need grant money every month?! That assumption is false about me if it were the case; and the reason they use to make money from me or from anyone is then very questionable.

After reading all other complaint's stories about Grant Funding Source, I erge everyone to not fall into scams like these.


Sincerely,
Yours

I wish to not have a membership of this company. So
therefore please cancel my membership.
to the grantfunding source.

Thanks
