I had received information about government grants that you could apply for that you never have to repay, all you have to pay for was shipping and handling to receive your free cd.So me being a single mom with 2 kids to support and being out of work I decided to jump on it.Now the only way I can pay for things online is watch you call a plugin secure card from paypal. It generates a new credit card number every time you use it, so you will be protected.So I got on website and ordered my free cd. Not long afterwards I started getting these charges.

Now like I said, paypals plugin secure is suppose to be generating a new card number for every transaction.So how did these charges get approved I asked?I was outraged.So I called hld granthelp order on friday, got recorded message. I called again on monday, finally got a live person.I explained my situation and she had told me that there had been a glich in the program, and that over 7, 000 people got hit with these same charges.She said that maybe tuesday they might put the money back on my account or maybe on weds it might go back on, she wasn`t sure.So in the mean time, I didn`t have enough on my paypal account, so they took money out of my bank account unauthorized.Well this really put in the minus for the month feeding my kids.Like I said, I`m out of work right now and can`t seem to find any work. So money is really tight.Through all of these complaints I really hope that someone will stop them from doing this to someone else.I thought about calling the better business bureau or the attorney general, but something has got to be done. Here are a couple of pictures for you to see.
Thanks for listening,
