Grant Master Deluxe Edition Raven Media Unauthorized Credit Card Debt Las Vegas Nevada
On 3/19/2008 I ordered a Grant Master Raven Media off of the internet. It stated $2.99 for shipping and a free Grant Writing CD. The charges were a $1.99 charge and on the same day a $1.00 charge. On 3/27/2008 I was then charged $39.95 from the same company. This charge was unauthorized. The number they give for CSR does not do you any good. I want a full refund including my original $2.99 charge for shipping and handeling. This company is pulling a scam. There are several other complaints here on Rip Off Report. I want the account canceled ASAP.

First of all let me offer my sincerest apologies for any misunderstandings that may have occurred when placing your order for the CD. The Grant Master educational CD is a grant based program that is designed to help customers Locate Grants, Find Grant Applications, Write Grant Proposals, and assist them with anything else that may be needed in the process of Obtaining Grant Funding. The CD offers the ability to search for grants by keyword(s), in up to 5 simultaneous categories. This program is supplemented by a member's site, this site offers access to live chat support for assistance with any part of the application and proposal process or questions pertaining to the CD or the member's site. You are also provided access to one of the largest grant data bases you can find anywhere. Here you can find both government and private foundation grants. There is also information from Dr. John Porter who is a licensed and certified grant writer. The information that is offered through our member's website is more extensive than what other companies sell in coaching programs that cost thousands of dollars. So we feel that we are offering our clients the best value in the industry. There are no commitments with the free product. However, there is a bonus free trial period to membership websites that accompanies the free CD and we do our best to disclose this as it is stated 4 times throughout the ordering process - on the sales page, the order page, the confirmation page and in the confirmation/thank you email, it is then also explained in the 1st paragraph of the Terms and Conditions of the offer. We offer the trial periods to give our clients a chance to use the services so they may see the value of them for themselves before they are billed for them. The trial periods are free for 7-30 days from the order date depending on which bonuses apply. We do not charge customers that call customer service and cancel during the trial period. It is not our desire to bill clients who do not want the membership after the free trial offer ends.
When you order our product you must select "Ship My FREE Kit!". On the same page as that button is the following disclosure in no less than 10 point font:
Terms and Disclosures. By clicking "Submit", I am ordering the Grant Master CD and trial membership for $1.99 for Shipping and $1.00 for Handling/Insurance, after the 7 day trial I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to Express Business Funding and Network Agenda for $7.95 a month and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel. I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy / Terms and Conditions. Charges will appear on credit/debit statements as "GRANTSEARCHASST". For questions, call 866-396-5694 M-F, 9am-9pm, EST.
Dawn, I was able to locate your account and do find that you were able to reach customer service and the representatives assisted to resolve your concerns to your satisfaction. If you are another customer that is reading this and you need to reach customer service please call the number listed in the above disclosure. If you have tried customer service and you feel that we have failed you in some way or you feel you weren't treated fairly please call me directly at 435-773-1795 or email me at ryanr@wskc.org and I will be happy to address your concerns ASAP.
