Complaint Review: Grant Finder Pro JECC LLC Raven Media Network Agenda - Palm Beach Gardens Florida

I ordered Grant Finder Pro on April 16, 2009 and canceled the trial on April 27. Today, May 5, I was charged $9.95 for Network Agenda. I had never even heard of this, so I checked out Ripoff Reports and found that it was associated with Grant Finder Pro.

This is the info I received when I signed up with Grant Finder Pro:

"Thank you for signing up with Grant Finder Pro. We are pleased that you are now enrolled in a 14 day trial subscription for our Grant Finder Pro Online Resource Center--the most complete and simple to use Grant Search Guide!

{2 paragraphs of login info and description of Grant Resource Center}

Your trial period will be for a period of 14 days. If within this 14 day period you aren't 100% thrilled with our services for ANY reason, simply contact us via the toll free number 1-888-811-1915 and we'll cancel your subscription or email us back at [email protected]. Also note that your credit card statement will show the bill under our registered company name JECC, LLC."

You will notice that there is no mention of other products or trial periods I am being signed up for. Nor was there anything in any of the other emails I received from this company.

This is the sign-up page, where the customer service rep keeps insisting the info about the other trial periods is listed:

Again, no mention of any other programs.

I have contacted my bank, Grant Finder Pro, Network Agenda, and Project Payday, which is the program that got me signed up with these people.
