I like the rest or at least most of you ordered a grant CD from The Grant University and also Grant Dollars Now. While the cost of the CD's was not very much, the final cost of doing business with these scammers was to high for me. After ordering these two CD's I was charged $69.95 from grant univ. and $58.61 from Grant dollars now, I was also somehow signed up for accounts with SBA Connections for $13.42 per mo., IWB Club at $29.95 mo., Grantforyoutoday at $58.61 per mo., My grant for you at $13.42 per mo., Thats a total of 243.96 which I did not order, signup for or even know about until I received my credit card statement which like most you had OVERLIMIT FEES that added up. I was able to get the credit card company to dispute one of the carges and I was able to get the IWB Club to issue a refund of $29.95 there is still alot of outstanding fraudulant charges on my account. Since this all started in December or2008 and it is now May 5th 2009 the credit card company tells me it is too late to do anything about it, even though I filed disputes with them about these fees well within the time limit. I filed disputes for all of these charges on-line at the credit card companies website, to which they replied that they never got the disputes. So now who do I turn to? Well I am turning to all of you - I want to file a Lawsuit against the Fraudulant Grant Companies and any Bank or Credit Card company that is or was not willing to help stop these charges and thier overlimit fees from adding up. The banks that hold these credit card accounts have been ripping off the public for to long now, They have lined the pockets of Our Government Officials to pass laws and look the other way so that they can raise interest rates which until not long ago (I will have to find out exactly when) could not be more than acertain cap, which I think was like 19.99%, in any case now they ar raising rates on consumers faster than the price of gas, sme rats as high as 39.99%, Thats nearly 40% yrly. or 3.333% per month. The Government back when they took care ofits citizens would not let these banks charge so high an interest rate, you can get bette rates from a loan shark. I have a credit score of 783, thats pretty good, but I still get credit card rates as high as 28.99% and as low as 12.15%. What I am trying to say here is that your credit card company has an incentive to let these fraudulnt companies charge our accounts because they are raking in the dough and to be quite frank most consumers do not even look at thier statement much less file a dispute if they have charges that don't belong to them. So the banks make out even with what few accounts they have to put a credit on.

If you are interested in joining me in filing a class action Lawsuit to stop this abuse and to shut down a buch of fraudulant scamming websites then please e-mail me at [email protected]
I hope that there are some of you who want to put a stop to this type of fraud and will join me, And please anywhere you can, warn people about these scammer companies, if we don't look out for each other no one else will either. It is not right for peopleto get rich off of the people who need help the most. We have to take back our country and rid it of this new breed of thieves.

Sincely, Jeffrey Rogers

I want my money put back on my card immediently! I never authorized this charge of $30.00 to be charged to my card! I will call them tomorrow and get my money back on my card!!!

they have charged me 29.95 on my credit card and i have no idea who they are have tried to cancel and was on hold for an hour please stop these people from stealing my money.

Being a member of a non-profit organization I have been looking for grants for our organization. In the process I ordered a CD that was supposed to teach me how to apply for government grants.

I received the CD, which seems to have on it an index to the files for the grants. However, on my credit card statement for the Jan-Feb time frame a charge shows up that was unexpected. On or about 25 Feb I contacted the phone number listed and was told this would be a monthly charge, presumably for access to this companies data base. I immediately called the number, canceled the account, and was told the charges would be refunded.

Now comes the Feb-Mar statement and not only is there no refund but I was again charged the same amount. In other words they ignored my cancellation request. Therefore, my second call to the company was made about 1040 today (Mar 30, 2009), telling the entire story about the original (supposed) cancellation etc. The person I spoke with guaranteed the account was now canceled and the refund was made and he gave me a confirmation number, and sent me an e-mail - but the confirmation number is not in the e-mail.

We are not done yet: I called the company again because I did not know if the refund (supposedly) made today was to cover both refunds that I was due. A different person answered the phone, and I was told the refund was only for the current charges. To get the Jan-Feb charges refunded I would have to fill out certain forms to be sent to me and I would have to apply to “the corporate main office" to get the refund of the previous charge.

The standard run around was well and in full progress - I told the person this seemed to be a run-around and that I would not play the game. I told the person that I would immediately call my credit card provider and dispute both charges, and have their company blocked from charging my account.

I have now done just that and my Credit Company has refunded the amounts and sent reject notice of these charges.

I had not heard of the IWB Club, never signed up with them or authorized any charges. While checking my checking account I noted a $29.95 charge fro the IWB Club. I called the number listed on my bank statement, and after 20 minutes a lady answered, and explained that they gained my PERSONAL and CHECING ACCOUNT INFROMATION from a company when I agreed to a $1 charge for a cd about "Free" grants, and they automatically signed me up and charged my account. They agreed to "cancell my subscription" (what subscription?) refund my money which should happen in 3-5 days. The lady then insisted on asking me questions about my income, credit cards, marital status, and became upset when I refused to answer these questions. Please warn others about the dangers of signing up for "FREE" information about federal grants - they (the Grant Funding Search Resource Center) are obviously the ones who passed on my PERSONAL and CHECING ACCOUNT INFO for another business to FRAUDULENTLY take money from my account!!
