Look out! If you sign up for your 'free' Grant Writing Express CD, you are also agreeing to paying $54.96 / month, once your first 'free' month is over. That information is in small type near the end of the pages. I did not see it. When I discovered the charge, I phoned to complain. The best I could get was a 50% refund.
Any time it's 'free' be sure to read ALL the fine print. I didn't, and got whopped.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I wouldn't mind paying the fee's if there were some actual evidence that it works. I think any grant that you can acquire from the Govt. on your behalf is worth the expense. After all, what grant process or application is for free, regardless of the path you take to submit your grant you will encounter some kind of fee of some sort. Unless your linked into the government in such a way where you work within that particular department- then you would know the ends and outs. I just want to know one thing Does "Grant Writing Express" Work?
It's funny that nobody who replies claims whether the software works of not. I get the part about the fine print, and I don't find the complaints valid. These are the same people who order the stuff and never use it, but sit and complain how it's not free. Seems like you ought to put it into action and let it pay you back if it's going to. All I see is a group of people who wanted something for nothing, then did nothing themselves and want their money back. How about some legitimate reporting of success or failure using the product instead of complaining that you couldn't get your money back?
What is so absurd is that there are 3 links by google to the very site that is being complained about here.
Thank God I took the time to print the terms and read them. MSN should be ashamed of this link. Bad news to unsuspecting consumers. I am forwarding this information to our Consumer Protection Division of our Attoreny General that goes after such scams.Suggest others do the same.
HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY USED THE SOFTWARE? DID IT WORK? DID YOU GET ANY GRANTS?
People should ALWAYS be suspicious of any add that offers something for free. I personally feel the word "free" is one of the most abused words in the english language and should prompt ALL those interested in these gimick adds to read every word, carefully. You are more than likely going to get screwed, and getting unscrewed can be painful.
Some might say it's a scam and others might say, "Read the fine print before you 'buy' something free." Grant Writing Express does make this information perfectly clear if the buyer is wary enough take the time to read their agreement page. If you simply clicked the checkbox that says "I agree to the terms of this site" without seeing what it is you're agreeing to, then I don't think you can call this a scam. It's simple negligence on the part of the consumer. The consumer makes the ultimate decision to buy or not to buy, therefore the consumer is ultimately responsible for knowing what is being bought. Caveat emptor!
It's $74.95 now. What a complete scam and rip off. Some one should report these idiots!
