Grant Funding Search - "Grant Express" Grant Funding ripoff Henderson Nevada
"Grand Funding Express" Wow, what a nightmare. I would like to know the Government officials to contact for this one.
Same false advertising on the internet as most people are experiencing...advertisment for the c.d. for $1.98. Next thing I know, my account has been debited for $69.95. I called and demanded my money back, said I was going to report them and to cancel the account. They told me I couldn't refund my money.
Checked my account today and sure enough; another charge! Called them again and they said yes, they could see where I had called to cancel after the first charge so they would refund my second charge. I've been diligently trying to get them to return my first debit and they're refusing to at this point. The only way I got my second refunded was because myself and 4 other people that I know of are reporting them to the Federal Govt.
I am unemployed and have a medical condition...I wanted a Govt. grant information to find resources for money to go back to school with. That is the kind of information I thought I would recieve. Why would I want money for investments or a house or any of the other kind of junk?
They told my that I will recieve my second refund in 3-5 business days. In the meantime, I want to cancel the account to make sure they can't do it to me a third time but I have to wait to do that until the refund shows up on my account.
Did anyone else get another fradulant withdrawl from a comany for $30 that was also from Henderson, NV? I did and they got my c.card # from Grant Search. I did get them to refund that.
Guess we're all learning a lesson here.....there's no real consumer protection and don't buy anything over the internet.

There's actually a LOT of these kinds of offers surfacing on the web recently, both on the American and Canadian side of the border. Once again, it's a 'too good to be true' sounding offer. You know the end of that phrase, right? I went and checked one of these sites out of curiosity (a number of them, actually), and it starts with the basic lure of; 'We'd all like more money' and 'your government may be holding THOUSANDS in your name!'... Flash the cash, all under the guise of helping the little fellow out, see? And all for JUST the shipping cost? They'd be losing money. Like, BLEEDING it. That's the first tip off. As I went on, and got more of the wind-up, the pitch came.... The payment screen. First thing that caught my eye was all the methods of payment. They were all there, except one.... Money order. My guard goes right up when dealing with any company that will not accept Money Orders of any stripe. I have to ask myself why they need such instant access to my funds if they're a reputable company and are into 'helping the little guy' for the long haul? Finally, when I figured that what I was looking at just didn't sit right with me and went to leave the site, a pop-up came up telling me that they couldn't hold my 'kit' for more than X amount of time and was I willing to let this opportunity go, etc... That tore it for me... Nothing more off-putting than the smell of desperation. If you're a good company and in it for the long run, you're not going to let an offer to a potential client expire in minutes. Also of note, there are other sites that are using what looks to be the same basic template of the site for the same style of thing. There is one out there promising that you can get paid by GoogleAds to the tune of a few thousand per pay period, complete with 'testimonials' (first names only, natch) and pictures of people holding checks. Thing is, the approach is the same; making something for next to nothing, and the 'feel' of the site is the same, right down to the 'DON'T GO' begging when you leave the site without having ordered anything. If one of these set-ups did indeed do you this way, it's a deceptive and fraudulent practice, IF the extra charge is in no way mentioned in the terms of sale and/or not disclosed to you. One question I have, is since you obviously ordered the CD, did you actually get the product promised and did it provide what was claimed? If NOT, then people *really* need to be warned about this, as these sites are springing up all over and preying on people's hopes of getting a leg up in the current economic climate.
