Fraud and scam
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 3 votes
Company information:
Grant Academy
Las, Nevada
United States
www.grantacademy.com

My credit card company [Chase] contacted me to ask if I had authorized charges by "Grant Academy" & Real.com. I have never heard of or used either of these companies. I would really like to know how they had my CC# - obviously from a previous internet purchase. I have my suspicions on who it might be. Since the charges was not for large amounts I am assuming that alerts were already in place for these companies. Needless to say that account has been closed & they are out of the $$. Disgusting pathetic people.

Terms and Disclosures. By clicking "Submit", I am ordering the Grant Master CD™ and trial membership for $1.29 for Shipping and $1.00 for Handling/Insurance, after the 7 day trial I will be charged $39.95 a month thereafter if I do not cancel. I also agree to the 14 day and 21 day bonus trials to Express Business Funding™ and Network Agenda™ for $7.95 a month and $9.95 a month thereafter, should I choose not to cancel.

The Information on our Grant Master CD is general information that you can find for free on the internet. We have gathered the information and put it on an easy to access and navigate CD for your PC. This saves our clients the time and let’s face it frustration of having to search out this information on their own. That is why our Grant Master CD is free and you only pay $2.29 for the Shipping and Handling. Along with the Grant Master CD you receive a 7 day free trial to our Grant Resource Center. This is our members website were you will be able to learn the entire process on how to write and submit a grant proposal.

I have a charge from Grant Academy. I never went to any website from grant academy or ordered anything having anything to do with grants. I also recieved 2 fraudulent charges from APL*ITunes and 2 fraudulent charges from SKYPE.com and WWW.SKYPE.COM. I don't even own an IPod, and I have no use for the services/product offered by Skype.com. I never ordered anything related to any of these charges.
My bank refunded my money for the charges by APL*ITunes and the SKYPE charges without my having to dispute them, but the Grant Academy charge is still there.

The only things I have used my card for in the past 2 months is buying something from Petco, returning something to Petco, and using paypal.
I have never EVER used my card on shady websites, or given out my information to anybody or any website that is not well known and reputable. My bank told me that I must have given it out to some site like "Find your classmates" or something. I'm not that stupid, and I resent the implication that I am.

I hope my story lets people know that these charges are not coming from stupidity. I am very careful who I order things from and I'm very careful with reading things when I give out my card info.

Yes this scam.
I was so stupid to order a cd that would show me how to make money on Google.
There was nothing else than give us you information and pay shipping and handling for your free cd. I have never been on The grant accademy site or seen DOCTOR jOHN PORTER.
When I got the cd it came from raven media in las vegas.
How can a business do things like this I ask myself, how is this guys integrety, does he sleep at night. I just know that what goes around comes around.
I will post this thing on all the scam sites i can find.
