Wisdom And Associates Inc, Wisdom & Associates Grant Writing, Scam, Run Debt Grant Writing, Scam, upfront money, grant writing scam, free monies for projects in your area, artists, grants, linked to scam in phoenix Henderson / Las Vegas Nevada
This company is a scam! They use a Vonage phone system with 702 area codes to appear to callers that they are calling from Vegas. They claim to provide business owners the opportunity to receive grant monies that are being awarded by public and private foundations.
They claim to be in business for 7 years. They bought a shelf corporation to show age of business and get more sales! This company holds no business license, the last time i check they are doing business under a different license for the location in which they operate.
Here's the truth, they make outbound calls to unsuspecting business owners and claim to be able to secure a minimum of 100K in grant money for them. If they can't secure the 100K in grant money for the business owner within a 12 month period they will give them another year of their service for free and forego the balance of the retainer while they continue to work towards the 100K.
The entire cost of this service is $7500 and is disguiesed as a retainer fee. They tell the business owners they will take half of the retainer fee ($3750) upfront and the balance of the retainer ($3750) once they have secure them the company minimum of 100K. Where wisdom & associates, inc. really makes its money is from the so called 'retainer' they secure from hopeful business owners.
They will even transfer you over to a so called director of research / sales closer who will lower the upfront cost of the retainer to give off the impression that it's really not the money that they are concerned with. The truth is, this is just another ploy to extract whatever they can get out of the business owner. Beware of Madison Vilella, Tony Reyes, Jamie Seibold, Joe Chavez (alias John) It's only a matter of time before the Fed's kick in the door.

Dear client, As one of the directors of the company I am very interested in knowing what happened with my company? I am reading this online complaint and I must say that I am shocked to see what is being said here. I would like to know why you never made a complaint to my office or to my staff or even to the BBB? I would like to rectify the situation with you and your company. I have researched our database and I could not find a client in Nebraska with the name Alex. Please contact our office or me directly so that we can fix the problem or situation that has made you so upset. Now if this is a competitor of ours trying to give my company a bad name, I am sorry. As everyone knows that you will always have competitors and you will have good relationships with them and bad. My company is not in the business of slandering our competitors or their business practices. I can tell you that we have been in business for 7 years and have 0 complaints with the BBB for a reason. Again I am open to discussing this topic with you and I am hoping that I can rectify the situation for you. Please contact me directly. Larry [email protected]
