The company changes names every few days or so...They can legally do this as the terms and conditions state that they can change anything they want at anytime as stated in the revised Terms and Conditions. Yep, that's right, they can even change the terms and conditions at will; and those very same terms and conditions state that they can change the terms and conditions at will, which is also covered in the terms and conditions...

I seriously doubt that anyone taken in by this unethical pukepot company will ever get a refund. However, there are things you all can do in order to protect yourselves from any other hidden fees. First thing you do is cancel any credit or debit card you used to pay that very first charge (the one we actually areed to) of $1.99. If you paid by electronic check, close the bank account ASAP. You can open a new one immediately and transfer all funds to a new account. Now that you've protected yourself from anymore questionable charges, the rest of the scams in the terms and conditions (and there's a lot of them) become obsolete 'though GMS threatens members with promises of lawsuits for noncompliance if they go this route. I chose this route. Let 'em sue me.

Here's one scam that I found particularly offensive:
The Refund Scam as seen on this week's version on the terms and condition:

"If you agree to wait out the 90 day riskfree trial that began our 3-month (88 days) risk-free guarantee. Customer Support will then cancel your membership, in which you will not be billed any further monthly charges. You will have a total of 88 days (approximately 3 months) continued access to ensure that you get an adequate amount of time for the online guide to work for you. At the end of the 88th day (which began the first day of your Trial Membership), you may either choose to re-activate your monthly membership with us or request a refund for the last month's membership fee you paid. -Grant Member Services

Can anyone spot the scam in the above? Read the last line again. "last month's" membership fee you paid."
Sounds good? Risk free even?" And then a refund if you still wish to opt out when the three month trial is up? If this company has scammed you once, you can count on them to do it again, and again..Free trial my ass. <snort>

The last month's membership fee you actually paid was: $0.00
It's all about the placement of the apostrophe in the word: months, and the sneaky 90 day risk free trial.

What it should have read: "The last membership fee you were screwed out of seven days after you first signed up.." ($94.98 for most)

I, Splat, advise any and all to terminate your membership(s) immediately and tell 'em to FO when they claim (and they will) that you have to remain in their system as a member for at least 90 days, (as seen in the ever changing terms and conditions) so why not try that three month risk free trial. This 'risk free 3 month trial' offer is the jump off for the refund scam. Do not accept it! And no matter what the terms and conditions say tomorrow, next week...file a fraud complaint with your respective banks. Most banks are aware off this particular rip-off company, and others just like it, and they can advise you on the best course of action and what alternatives you have.

Any member(s) who's going to try and hold GMS responsible based on unethical practices, and obvious attempt(s) to scam consumers should check out the (always changing) terms and conditions regarding non-disclosure on/in public forums, including this one. We're also not supposed to post links like the one below.

The grant scam reviews, like the one above, are also scams. Live and learn, yes? Good luck to you all.
