Small Business Funding Company, Inc. Grant Writing Service Scam... Extremely Detailed and Well Organized Henderson, Nevada
I was contacted by the above company offering grant money for small businesses. I was told the exact same stories (down to the last detail) the other people were told that have reports on this website about the same company (please read them). However, i checked this website before I sent the money althought I did give them more information than I should. I did keep all the documents they emailed me in PDF format.
I included the contract they sent to me including wiring instructions with their account number and routing number for a Washinton Mutual account. I posted on the FTC website as well and hope this helps other small, woman/ minority owned businesses. I pasted the contract below minus my information. Apologize if its difficult to read since I had to copy and paste from a PDF document.
