After receiving many recorded calls about the availability of "GRANT MONEY" I made the mistake of pushing button #1 to be contacted. Two days later, "Mike Jackson" of the Turnaround Business Development Group called. This man sounds legitimate. He is a smooth-talking, older guy who has time to listen and even talks about his 3 teens. After two separate phone calls and many questions about my business, I received the paper work via fax from consultant "Tammy Johnson." TWO ALARM RINGERS emerged. The first, he wanted HALF of the money ($2500) UP FRONT. The second bell ringer was the FINE PRINT in the paper work.
The last two sentences read; "Client agrees that Client has authorized the Company to help arrange for the financing on Client behalf with special and limited power of attorney to represent Client in the application and verification process: either electronically, verbally, written, or otherwise. Client agrees to hold Company harmless of any unintentional misrepresentation." "Mr. Jackson," said at some point I would have to set up an "escrow account" for the GRANT MONEY. No doubt, He was going to get me to send him the other HALF of my money (another $2500) before supposedly depositing my $250,000 GRANT MONEY!
