Hello, I just finished writing a follow up to another persons report for other grant writing software scams. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/432/RipOff0432085.htm I found a site that had picked the top grant writing softwares,prices of each were less than $2 to have the software CD mailed to you. I purchased the top 3 titles linked to on that list. I received 2 of them, and didnt bother worrying about the 3rd, since it was only a dollar or so. Got my bank statement in yesterday, have the following out of place charges on a total of 7 different days; --------------------------------- GOVTFUNDEDGRANTS - 40.74 NEW GRANTS TODAY - 69.49 HLD*GrantHelpOrd - 74.95 FRAUDPROTECTION - 7.08 Bill Pay W/O Pin - 16.20 Bill Pay W/O Pin - 54.00 Bill Pay W/O Pin - 27.00 IDENT SECURIT - 10.14 SBA TARGETS - 13.68 ------------------------------- This is alot of hassle for what was supposed to be a few dollars spent to help fund my training in pursuit of a new career after loosing my job. I do not have the name of the website, as I was on someone elses computer, as mine was in the shop that day. I will check with the owner of that computer and see if any info may remains on his machine. The names of the 2 software discs I received are Ultimate Grant Secrets, and Grant Resource Guide. I beleive these companies have rip-off reports under multiple names, but it was obviously the same scam for my 3 different purchases. I plan on getting not only a new card number, but a new bank account number also, just to be on the safe side, and have removed the software from my computer,even though I beleive it to be legit,I can't be too careful.
