What this company does is, most likely, legal. However, it is 100% fraudulent and only exists to prey on consumers who do not read the fine print.

I ordered my free software CD from this company BEFORE I read the reviews about it. Immediately after I submitted my order, I did some research and pulled up tons of negative reviews and complaints. I immediately went back to my order confirmation page and printed it. I then accessed their site to cancel my subscription online, for which I received an electronic confirmation, which I printed, as well.

Two months later, I discovered I had been charged $150 on my American Express. After disputing the claim, I was furnished with a verdict, complete with 14 pages of material faxed from Grant Writing Express to AMEX, highlighting several instances within the Terms of Use policy where the company did, in fact, disclose their policy of monthly charges at $74.95 per month. That being said, I DID read the Terms word-for-word before ordering and DID cancel the subscription 3 days after my order. And I STILL got charged after receiving confirmation of my cancelled membership. (I thought I was savvy enough to get AMEX to come to bat for me if something happened...they did come to bat, but the criminal behind this company is far more persistent than I had imagined.)

This company owns about 3 or more different domain names, which it uses almost like an algorithm to deflect guilt in its contractual proceedings (I received a cancellation confirmation from "Grant Funding Express", rather than "Grant Writing Express", which provided my order confirmation.) The documentation provided by AMEX lists the merchant under the title "Honey Lets Dance." Given these circumstances, it is clear that the entire operation is a fraud.

Contrary to other individuals' experience with this copany, I DID receive my CD. However, once I loaded it onto my computer (before I was charged and not entirely skeptical of the company yet), I quickly recognized that the program was loaded with grammatical errors that a 10 year old would commit and could not be produced by a reputable source. The content was bare bones and, almost certain is was phishing for sensitive material on my computer, I quickly got rid of it.

If you do not heed the warnings contained on this page (and would rather pay $74.95 per month for a horrendous product), at least familiarize yourself with the fine print. I am not entirely sure that my dispute will be resolved (and I will get my money back from AMEX), as there is a sentence in their literature that states that in order to cancel a subscription, a customer must send an e-mail providing a load of personal information. Given that the company obviously does not honor the "simple" cancellation feature (which they provided screen shots of to AMEX) that I used and received confirmation for, you would likely be legally bound to provide them with a great deal of personal information to get out of the contract.

Even with all of my hard evidence gathered to protect myself from an ordeal, I still got sucked into their trap because of shady business practices and obscure wording.

Make no mistake, this company (and product) is a complete fraud. If anybody would like to organize and file suit against this company, I would be glad to participate to ruin this operation and destroy the people behind it.
