Grant Search Center Ordered free cd & paid $1.98 for shipping and handling. 1 week later my bank account was charged 59.95. Muskegon Michigan Las Vegas Nevada
Grant Search Center offered a free CD and charged $1.98 for shipping and handling... One week later, $59.95 was taken out of my account, and I hadnt even gotten the CD yet. I had no idea that I woulnt get the info before being charged. I had every intention to cancel, but was waiting for the CD to see what was really being offered. shame shame shame....I spoke to Maggie, who turned me over to Kevin....He was very short with me. Kind of like, "gotcha" This is Christmas time....and every penny is needed....How can they get away with scamming people like that.....Shame

I am also a victim of this scam!
I received the CD I paid $1.98 for, but I was also charged $59.95 a week later. Then they charged me $17.45 a week later!
Since I used my Pay Pal Debit Card for this, I have filed a claim with them also.
Good luck if you fall for this one! It looks like it may be awhile before we get our money back!
