Grant Masters review: Unauthorized debit card charge 201

I was told to go to this website and ask for a refund! and I want it now!1

I never gave them permission to take funds from my checking acct. I want them to put it back!

I did not recieve my free grants disc

I have discovered two unauthorized pending charges on my Visa Debit card of $38.34 each for a total of $76.68. I have never visited their web site or inquired of their services. I had to do an internet search to find out what they are about and get their phone number and address.
Last month, I had a similiar situatin with "Blazing Keywords", and I feel they are exchanging banking card information which is fraud and highly illegal.
I am a senior citizen and my funds are low because it is nearing the end of the month and even though the charges are pending and not posted, I do not have access to $76.68 of my limited income for my groceries and prescriptions until they are removed. I will be filing fraud charges and contacting an attorney regarding a class action law suit for all the many people this company is ripping off.

checked my bank account and saw two charges 38.98 charged twice today! never heard of this company never ordered anything over the net in my life and dont give my card number out over a cell pohne either but yet somehow they accessed my account...To grant masters and all of it affiliates I sincerely do not know how any of you can sleep at night or live with yourselves but believe me, Karma is a ### and what comes around goes around and I promise to you and all that is holy I will not give up til you are out of business and rotting in hell! Oh by the way my name is KARMA

All I can say is, I'm glad that I'm with Bank of America. They sent and email to my account and I called to verify that there was fraudulent charges on my credit card and they closed it out immediately. This website also helped me out a lot!

Found of charge of $38.34 from Grant Masters pending on my checking account, and I have no idea who this company is. I have not ordered anything from them. Once charge has posted I will contact my banks freud department to work with them to get my money back.

I am from Venezuela but I live in Canada. I have just realized that my Venezuelan credit card has been charged for $34, 38 by a commerce called GRANT MASTERS. Apparently it was an electronic transaction.
I do not recognize that charge, nor the company, the amount or the date when it was made.
Please help me stop these thieves!

Same here too! Such company also goes by the name My Profit Investment, A1 Member, Grant Finder, GrantRUs, SBA Track Online & Kind Remind Pro. And the charges are various.

Hi, I would like to add some information to make you all aware that potentially Jeremy Johnson and his crew that are doing this have come up with a whole new scam that is going to further victimize the people that have fallen into this. His new company badcustomer.com is being sold to the e-commerce industry as a tool that checks to see if there is a match on the card to any previous chargebacks. So...potentially you could be ripped off by Grant Masters, dispute the charge, resulting in a chargeback attached to your name, email, or credit card. Now, the other company, badcustomer.com will charge you $99.00 to be removed from the list. Oh, by the way when the e-commerce company runs your info through the badcustomer.com database, they are releasing your information into the hands of these crooks. Sure, it's supposed to be secure, if everything was so secure than how does identity theft and unauthorized charges even appear in the first place? Maybe that is why so may people are on here with no knowledge whatsoever how their personal information was released. They are located in St. George and travel with offices in Nevada, but also in Santa Monica.

Hi my name is Raquel and Grandmasters.com was charging my visa card as well, I'm calling the police and fraud department for my visa please let get together and put people like this in jail.

i have a total of $299.78 taken out of my acct on 6 different days before i realized they were doing it. It was also from trying to do the $1.99 Google ad. They say I will get a refund.

does anyone have their website address

same thing happened to me. I called my credit card company and requested a new account to make sure this doesn't happen again.

The ONLY way to affect a change with these cheatiers is to hit them where it hurts. The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) keeps a list of companies on whom complaints have been filed. When the list gets big enough, they go after the company. WRITE THE FTC!

RE: Grant Masters Online
Unauthorized Use of Debit/Credit Cards

Provide the same information you've put on the Complaints Board and make sure you include the company name, date(s) and amounts withdrawn, and whether you received the CD. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Grant Masters is in cahoots with BlazingWords, Adword and Powerseach. If enough complaints are filed, action will be taken.

I did not recognize the name, "Grant Masters" nor the charge amounts to my credit card.
I never received anything for the $1.97 which I don't recall ordering. I filed a formal complaint with my credit card company. They called Grant Masters, sent me a cancellation number, but could only credit me for one of the charges. The phone calls to all of these foreign (I'm American) customer service locations were useless...every phone number that they gave me for follow-up was bogus. not in service, inoperable, etc.

I probably should consider geting a new credit card and number.

i just checked my bank acct and there are 2 months of withdrawals, both for almost $40 i have no idea what it is or how i got it and when i searched the site, i found this... I will be calling my bank first thing in the morning

THESE ARE THE BIGGEST THIEFS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! YOU GUYS WRITE FREE TRIAL OR INITIAL FEE OF 1.99 IN BIG LETTERS BUT DONT MENTION THAT YOU WILL BE CHARGING ME LIKE CRAZY OF $38.34 ALL THE TIME... LEAVE THAT TO THE SIDE THE NONSENSE DUMB PACKAGE NEVER CAME TO MY EMAIL AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS NO SHAME TO SAY THAT OHH IT MIGHT OF GONE TO SPAM... YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE YOUR EMAILS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATIONS DOESNT GO TO SPAM... NEVER RECIEVED IT AND GOT MY MONEY STOLEN IN TOTAL OF $254! THESE PEOPLE ARE THE MOST HEARTLESS MONEY MAKING ANIMALS I HAVE EVER SEEN... I REALLY DO WISH ALL THE WORST TO THESE SCAM COMPANIES...

Oh wow I am not the only vicitim that doesnt make this fraud any better tho. Mind you . I am from overseas and got ripped off by these mylife, com or saveace for a damn thing I didnt do heck I didnt even know of these . I found out and found you all here by doing a google research. FBI got informed, the fraud dpt of my credit card institute as well and I get the crime police of my country in too if needed. My CC is blocked and deactivated anyway and I took this $24, 95 off of my bill and paid what was left; now the bank will withdraw it if they didnt already do and get it back.

I have some good new. I did get my money back from the company, after my bank got invoided. I got $84.25. I thank God for my money back.

I ordered the kit on 6-07-09, they told me that I would receive the kit in 3-7 business days. I had not gotten ything in 1-weeks time. But I was charged the full amount of 77.82, . At that time I was told when I signed up, that I had 1 week to just try it out and then if I deceided Wwthat I wanted to keep it then I would be charged 77.82 a month, for different grants to try out. But before I could get the kit through the mail, I got 77.82 taken out of my account, I had not gave my permission to even touch my account. Then 4 days later they took another 77.82, out of my account again, and a 62 cent charge twice. So that was 156. dollars taken out of my accouint in less than 2 weeks. I had still not received that kit, yet.When I tried to call and explain to get my money back, since that is what honest people would do. I thought it was a mistake, I gave them plenty of time to put back my money, so they seemed like it was't a big deal to them, and kept putting me off. Now they have changed phone numbers and websites, so I'm not sure what to do at this point, but to file a lawsuite. But I hope maybe you can help me, I really don't want to do that, I just want my money back and I learned a valuable lesson here. Thank-you.

I've been receiving charges on my debit card from $9.95 to $39.95 and I did NOT apply for any of these. I went into a web site to check out grant money and all I had to pay was $1.95 for shipping or so they said! I started getting charged more every month. I quickly called and canceled everything and I still have charges trickling in every week. The new one today doesn't even give a telephone number to call. So now I'm searching ways to email my UNsubscription. The only recourse that I can see is getting a different debit card! If this is happening to me, it's happening to thousands of other people.

Call this number - [protected], I have been charged since May also, but since they keep changing the name of the biller I just thought it was something I bought. Through this phone number they cancelled my subscription to Blazing and Adword and Grang Master. When I asked them why did they kept changing the name they said that they did that to see which name sounded better! WHATEVER! This time they sent an email confirmation that the account has been cancelled.

I am also having money taken from my account by this company
it was $77.82 for two month .I never use the service, it was a trial offer, after the trail offer they should the end the service, then email you to see if you would like to receive the service not just charge you for it. I will never apply for service again for a grant
with this company.

Ha, I don't think they have supervisors or managers. Today I was told by operator 1 "I'm sorry our supervisor is on break" operator 2 "Our supervisor is on another phone call" operator 3 "My supervisor is in a meeting" To which I laughed, this was within 10 minutes of each other. I got hung up on by operator 2. Operator 3 finally told me there offices are in the Phillipines, but they have U.S offices to, I asked for a phone number for the U.S office and was told they don't have one! (REALLY?!?!?) A business (I mean scam) office with no phone number. There U.S. office is supposedly in OREM UT. I'd love to call authorites on them... but who? Our charges have been 74.38 blazing words of which they say they have credited 72.21 but I have not seen it. and 39.49 from grant masters of which they say they have credited 38.something but I haven't seen that either. I called june 28th to request refund was told 7-10 business days, now it's july 29th I've called three times this month, they just keep telling me to call back in couple of days. I think the only thing preventing us from further charges is that this is a debit account that is not our primary and we've only got about 20.00 in there for the last month...

The same thing has happen to me . I didn't order anything online, but when I look at my bank statement there was $34.34 taken out of my account twice. I call the same number [protected] and they gave me some codes to fax to the company so I can get my refund back. I faxed it four times. So, I went back online to seach for the company and I found this website here.

I feel the same way. Grant masters has charge 38.34 twice and I too have no idea who or what this company is . I did call the number that was listed beside my charge and she stated I would be refunded the last charge but that I would have to email Corp office because no phone or person to talk to. I emailed and got response that my account would be reviewed and if refund due it would be 4-6 weeks

How do I cancel this stupid thing. I have 2 charges on one day in June '09 of 38.34 and one charge for 38.34 in July '09. And where is my "kit" that will come "2-3 weeks" . It's been 3 months...and nothing but money coming out of my account. I've called all the numbers I have even Ryan (above) number and they either don't answer, bad number or they hang up on me. I just want it to stop! How the heck do I cancel if I can't get anyone to talk to me?!

Bless the internet, thank god I am not the only one. It all started when a story popped up on my screen. It looked real, wrong! It was a fake pop-up probably from those people themselves. But i didn't think about that at the time. I paid the 1.97 where i never received an e-mail or anything. I called to cancel right after the 2nd day. Then out of now where i get charged 72.21?!?!? So I e-mailed them fast enough and was able to receive a refund. After this I even thought about canceling this card. That's what I recommend for anyone. But I was about to go on vacation and I was in a rush. First I didn't even take this card with me to vacation so i know nobody stole it or wrote down the number or anything. And then I come home to find 38.34 from GRANT FINDERS?!?! Then me and my daughter started to think and made sense it was the same people from Google Kit. So far my bank provided me with "[protected]" but no one answers. I'll keep trying and see if I can get a refund. But if I don't I'll have to cancel this card.

Then done the same thing took money out of my account at the total of 77.82 and I have been calling every other day trying to get this replaced. There answer is to give it another 7 to 10 days and it will be back in my account. That has been a month ago and still no money to been replaced. I keep telling them I want to speak with a supervisor and still have not gotten to speak to one yet...
Does anyone have anyway of getting your money back with this company?

SAME HERE! They 'said' they would cancel my charges last month, but returned the amount, less $.30? THEN DID IT AGAIN this month!? HOWEVER, I am STILL awaiting the return.

When I do get through on the phone #, they quote me a refund less $.30 again!? Twice I've been told the refund must not have gone through due to my bank?

LIAR, CHEATS. Most dishonest company I have ever dealt with.

I have been hung up on? Didn't know good companies did this. NEVER will transfer to a supervisor or manager.

Ces noms portent a croire qu'il n'y a aucun cote d'étique chez Google . De par les expériences négatives écrites par d’anciens qui ce sont exprimés sur le Web a propos de Blazing Keywords et Google ainsi que Grants Masters accompagné de mon expérience avec eux, soyez prudent et tenez vous très loin d'eux, et deux distances valent mieux qu’une .

En mai dernier, malgré l'essai a 99 cents et un avis de cancellation dans les 24 heures et une certification de leurs parts que tous est ok et réglé que je ne recevrai aucun compte et qu'aucun payement ne sera retiré de mon compte master card, j'ai portant reçue mon compte rendu de carte de crédit sur lequel apparaissait deux fois 1, 99 $ de base au lieu de 99cent ainsi qu’une charge de payement de mai a Blazing Keyords mais pas au montant de la mensualité mentionné(légèrement inférieure ), . J'ai alors de nouveau communiquer avec eux via téléphone car aucun email et aucune adresse n’est valide, ils m’ont alors encore une fois confirmer qu’ils allaient s'en charger mais il s’avère qu’aucun deux n’a de parole et encore sans succès, car a ce jour j'ai reçue le compte de juin 2009 mais aucun remboursement et en plus un autre charge au nom de Grants Masters qui sont du même acabit un peu plus de 50 .00 . Je me suis alors fié qu’à moi et j’ai fait une plainte de fraude à la banque et j’ai cancellé cette carte puisqu’ils ont pris le temps d’écouter sans rien entendre.
Depuis ce temps je reçois des appel que je me permet de me délester aisément en les envoyant chez le bonhomme sept heures
Ne faites confiance a personne sous ces noms de Cie et personnels, en effet ce sont des fraudeurs d’affaire .

et ce Ryan est l’une des marionnettes de cette gigantesque fraude, pour lui avoir écrit et ayant jamais reçu de réponse.
Ils ont le gros bout du manche car les sommes retirés ne peuvent faire l’objet de poursuite au canada ou d’autres états et, tant les américains que d’autres pays les hébergent et ne font absolument rien . Dites je ne sais pas s’ils ramassaient de l’argent pour le terrorisme s’il seraient vues de la même manière par les autorités

I have a similar problem with Blazing Keywords, however, I have NEVER ordered anything from Grant Masters. I did contact Blazing Keywords because of the $1.97 offer by Google and got a refund after getting my bank involved. As far as I knew that was the end of the matter, however, for the month of June there is a charge from Grant Masters in the amount of $38.34 and another $.31 charge. Until reading this post, I didn't even know who Grant Master was.

I will be contacting Grant Masters ASAP and Google as well as my bank for the fraudulent charges. I will also be contacting our state Attorney General's office as well.

I have discovered TWO unauthorized pending charges on my Visa Debit card of $38.34 each for a total of $76.68. I have never visited their web site or inquired of their services. When I called the foriegn operater said i had to e-mail for a refund. I do not trust them, but I will try for my refund.

BP is sky high! Ordered the $1.97 Google CD...Canceled the same day. Got charged $72.21 from Blazing Words...got my refund from them and then lo and behold here comes Scam Masters. Got ripped off for $38.34. Called them and they gave me a cancellation number and a refund number; was told I would be refunded. Called back...said it should be there any day. Just called again...was told I waited too long to cancel and she would not refund my money. Canceled my checking account and told the b**** that karma would get her in the end.

Humanity has sunk to such a new low. It is hard to fathom that people like us walk the same Earth as these scambags. We paid a rather small price to be reminded once again that we aren't in Kansas anymore. In our hopes of finding something that would help us be productive so that we, too, could support our families with dignity; we were assaulted by the growing segment in our society that has no soul. I'm glad I grew up in the fifties so I can fondly remember what real honesty & integrity felt like; when we could sleep peacefully with our front doors unlocked; when neighbors were friends and kids could play without fear. I have my memories;unfortunately my children and granchildren will not know or recognize these virtues. They have long since passed.

Add me to the list. I will contact the Connecticut Attorney General and see if we can find some jail time here.

You people are luckier than I am. I have been charged $38.34 and have been trying to cancelling it since May. In fact, I was double-charged in June. Today the person "supposedly" cancelled it, but only deducted one charge of $38.34. The only people who are making money are not us, but Grant Masters!
