USA GRANTS Is a scam and complete ripoff! Las Vegas Nevada
I was contacted by USA GRANTS INC. and told they could get me up to 1.5 million for my small business. They guarenteed me a minimum of $100,000.00 and this would cost $7,500.00. I paid them $2,500.00 for a retainer and would have to pay the remaining $5k upon recieving my grant money. I was told that I would have money with in 60-90 days and they would send out letters of intent with in 1 month. I was also told they had over 80,000 foundations in their data base.
After one month I recieved a report that only had 10 foundation I matched with. The report said I would be contacted by a "Senior Funding Specialist". Upon being contacted he said that in order for me to get my money fast I needed to set up a non-profit organization and they would need me to send them an additional $9,500.00. This got me very suspicious so I started digging and found numerous complaints on a company called TGPGRANTS on rip-off.com.
After reading the complaints on rip-off.com about The Grant People I realized it was the same exact scam. I have called and just like tgp usa grants will not answer their phone or get back to me. I have filed a complaint with the BBB as well as the FTC. I have also retained legal counsel and am filing a class action lawsuite against them if they do not respond to my BBB complaint and refund my money.
USA GRANTS INC. is nothing but a scam it is the same scam the grant people are pulling. Do not fall for it people you will NEVER see a penny in grant money.

I would like to add anybody who has been scammed by these people should call the FTC and file a complaint. The more complaints the better our chances are of getting them shut down. FTC 1-877-382-4357
