Scam
I was looking for a website that offered government grant funding and I found one, Grant Funding Search, that offered a CD to help me find grants. I was told on the website that I only had to pay $1.98 for the shipping and handling of the CD that I purchased with my debit card on 6/1/09. I happened to check my bank account online today (6/9/09) and that same company took 69.95 out of my account without my knowledge. I did not know that they would try to charge me 69.95 a month for the service. I hope that you will look into this company and stop them!

Unauthorized Charges for services not ordered
I also ordered the free cd for the 1.98 shipping and before it even arrived I was charged a monthly (yes monthly) charge of 69.95. I called 888-210-2544 to complain and cancel. They agreed to cancel, but as "their site stated" somewhere after "submit" that I agreed to the monthly charges of 69.95 unless I called to cancel within 7 days after ordering the cd. I did not see this part. If I had I would not have even ordered the cd. After I received the cancellation in my e-mail I went to the site they put in the letter. There was a big error message. Isn't that convenient. They used Rush Linnbaugh, CNN and some other famous and legit advertisers to help them entice us into thinking this was a legit company. I wonder if these famous people appreciate promoting these types of companies. Because of this I will not order off the internet again no mater who they say is endorsing them and now I do not even trust Rush Linnbaugh, CNN or any of the others used. Also I have been unsubscribing like crazy to other scams coming through my e-mail that this company has shared my information with. I bet they made some bucks on that too. Maybe it breaks down to the old addage that "if it sounds too good to be true, it is". It is a lie even if only in part. I will be calling Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade and Idaho Atty General for starters. I will at least get something for my 71.93 if only to put them in the hot seat. I have also cancelled the card I used to make sure no more charges come through on my account.
