Company Funds, Inc reviews and complaints
Fraudulant Company
Company Funds Inc. Grant Rip Off Robbed me & my company of $7, 000 for a supposed grant! Was told I 'Qualified' for many foundations.
REBUTTAL TO RIP OFF ABOUT COMPANY FUNDS INC
I get at least 5 calls a day from people telling me they have been contacted by Company Funds, Inc. in regard to getting a grant. They have read my article that I put on Ripoff.com and want to find out if the company is legitimate. When I tell them what happened to me they are apologetic and thankful they had my number to call.
I have had people throughout the United States and Hawaii call about what has happened to me with this company. I will continue to talk with anyone who wants to know about this company. If I can save them from what happened to me I will.
I was told to contact the F.B.I. in Las Vegas about this company and I did so today. The Agent I spoke with said that Companies like this change their business name and start all over again, scamming good, decent, hard working people like you and me. If you have been contacted by this company wanting money up front from you for a grant, you need to contact the F.B.I. in your area. Make sure you ask for the Agent that is handling all the Grant Fraud for NV. The number for the Las Vegas F.B.I. is [protected].
My number in Louisiana is [protected] and I’m Melanie Rogers.
If you want to know about this company, Please give me a call. I want to help you save your money.
Thank you,
Melanie Rogers & Margaret Granshaw

I got a phone call from Company Funds saying “Congratulations you are eligible for a grant from Company Funds.” These calls started on the 1st of March. 2009 and we were harassed by Company Funds until we decided to use them to help us get a business grant. Roger Kinsey told us we were eligible for $218, 000.00 but we would have to fax him a copy of our blank check attached to a copy of their contract. All of this was done on April 10, 2009. We were still skeptical so he gave us a number for the Nevada Consumer Affairs Division which was a wrong number.
We were contacted again at Company Funds by Teto Guy saying Congratulations we were fixing to be funded by Company Funds and a Dr. Lawrence Nickleson would be contacting us in one hour to explain the next process. Dr. Nickleson called within the hour as promised and told us to continue, we would need to come up with another $4, 000 to be funded within 15 to 30 days. He said we would be funded $226, 000.00. I borrowed the money so we could be funded in 15 to 30 days. Once they got the money all communication stopped. We never heard from them unless we called. When we called they would give us the runaround or put us on hold and never get back with us. It was always one lie after another when we did talk to somebody. Here it is July 31, 2009 and we haven’t been funded yet. We should have been funded on the 23rd of May that was exactly 30 days from April 23. We have given them this long and still haven’t heard a word from them. We want our money back and no one will talk to us.
A man named Ronnie in customer service told me there was no way we were getting funded in 30 days. He told me that they are trying to expedite our file and we would have to wait just like everyone else. I was calling every day or every other day to find out who owns that company. I called one Friday and got Ronnie and he told me he would have to check his tapes and get back with me on Monday. I still haven’t heard from him in regard to what was on the tapes as all of my conversations have been recorded, according to him. Usually when a company records your conversation they let you know up front. This company didn’t.
They have written letters to 15 foundations on our behalf asking them to help fund us. This is the 3rd phase in the funding process. These letters were dated June 11, 2009. They are not the foundations they e-mailed us in Phase 2, but different ones. It is July 31, 2009 and we still haven’t heard from Company Funds. They have our money and have dropped us like a hot potato. They have stolen $6, 995.00 of my money and I want my money back. They have lied to me and I want my money back. This company can’t be trusted. They tried to take money a third time from me. I had to close my business because of this company. They made promises and never kept one. They have left us holding the bag. Now I want MY $6, 995.00 back PLUS ALL THE HELL THEY CAUSED ME OVER THE MONTHS THEY HAVE HAD MY MONEY. I’m tired of making calls to a company and not getting any ACTION. This company needs to be shut down as soon as possible. This is a company who will scam you and take what little business capital you have left, that’s what they did me. I don’t normally talk negative about companies because I don’t want to be talked about. But when it comes down to the nitty-gritty and you’ve been done what I’ve been done, you’ll do whatever it takes to get your money back. I’ve worked hard for what I’ve gotten and I don’t like it when someone steals from me.
Thanks,

COMPANY FUNDS INC HAS STOLEN 8700.00 FROM OUR DAY CARE CENTER .. ALWAYS TELLING ME WE ARE ONE THE VERGE OF GETTING OUR GRANT...THEN NOTHING! THEY WILL NOT EVEN ANSWER OUR PHONE CALLS NOT.. THEY ARE THIEVES! DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM.
company funds inc. has stolen 8700.00 from our day care. they told us the funding was waiting and ready for us, then we cannot contact them. no one will talk to us at all.. they are thieves, and shoud be put in prison for the stealing they are doing. the children here could really benefit from the 8700 .00 cfi took from us.
To Simple Math,
If you worked for the company and your calling past or present customers stupid or idiotic that should show you and everyone else how intelligent Company Funds employees really are. I also did not receive the service promised what I mean by that is, very poor communication and pushy sales people. For the money I lost I blame my self for not reading into it better. Next time you decide to call someone stupid or idiotic please proof read your own coments.
Yours
A Disappointed Professional
I used to work for Company Funds. I also had a couple conversations with Melanie Rogers. Melanie Rogers is a bitter woman who has nothing better to do with her time than sit around and [censor] about her miserable life and blame sommeone else for her inability to succeed as a business owner due to mismanagement and poor judgement. During AND after our conversations (on the phone) she was totally fine after having the entire process explained to her " several times." In fact her exact words were "i was just concerned because no one ever explained the process to me" ... As for the rest of you idiotic people... Did you sign a contract? Did you READ the contract before you signed it? Is there written ANY WHERE in the contract that you would asolutely GET MONEY? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. Yes you signed a contract and NO there is no absolute guarantee in the contract stating you would get money. Now stupid people try to keep up ... If i call you tomorrow and tell you that you are prequalified for a 5 million dollar home i would NOT be lying because in order to qualify - you need only be alive and breathing. NOW to be preapproved is an entirely different matter. One word makes a true statement, the other only IMPLIES the statement and if you are so friggen stupid that you perceive it as a guarantee then you should have also demanded to see this so called guarantee IN WRITING. Now in defense of the company. I worked 8 hours a day 5 days a week for an hourly wage. I spent every bit of my time researching the directory for foundations who would match any and all of our clients. I also assisted the letter writers in composing the letters that would be mailed to the foundations. So to say that the company is a rip off is false. I happen to KNOW FOR FACT that I personally processed over 2000 clients research AND SENT IT. So to say we were a rip off is a straight up LIE and you should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to discredit a business just because you are upset that you didnt get any money. I would probably be a little upset if i invested money in the prospect of gaining future money ... BUT i woudl have gotten a written guarantee before signing a contract OR sending money. YOUR FAULT NOT OURS! Bottom line... you paid for a SERVICE we provided that SERVICE.
Are you people for real?
Are ALL you people for real?

On March 5, 2010 we were contacted by Company Funds Inc about being "qualified" to become a client. The company claimed to help us acquire grants to assist our small business that is family owned and operated by women. The contract stated that they would do 1 Grant Proposal, 6 months of Grant Research, 6 months of Letter of Intent Service supplied quarterly. They did indeed sent us two lists of grant programs that we could write to. None of which had anything to do with our company. None of which we could apply for. In effect, they did not do their job of researching anything relating to us or our company. They did not provide any proposals or letters of intent. This company is a fraud. They charged us $995.00 for information that we could have gotten online or at the library. Once we paid them, they were impossible to get ahold of. They wouldn't answer their phone, they wouldn't return our message, they wouldn't respond to our faxes... and now they've even changed their phone number!
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
erin scott you and Darell is going down i am a speacial witness for this case
I to am a victim of false promises made to from Company Funds, Miss Ann, Ronnie, Paul Isely and the rest of the staff over there are all a part of a Ponsey scheme. I had to borrow money from my friends to get the paper work started to get my grant as was promised to me. I send them 13, 000.00 dollars because I was promised a grant of 800, 000.00 dollars. When they receive my money I kept calling them and no one ever returned my phone call. This was in September 2009. I wish we all can come together and do a CLASS ACTION LAWSUE against Company Funds my name LISA THOMAS [protected]
this was my complaint.
I too am a victum of Company Funds. There are enough of us that were ripped off, we should be able to join and do a class action law suit. What do you people think? Sharon Morgan, Spray Oregon 97874. [protected].

We have been scammed by them as well. They've been taking $133.33 a month out of our checking account. Now for the last 2 months they've told us they are about ready to send out the letters. My husband called the other day and they said the letters were all ready to be sent out, but that they couldn't send them beause they hadn't received our last two payments. We sent them a copy of the two bank statements to show them it had come out, but we were told they had to authenticate the fax and statements because they might be made up statements. I went to the bank, got the information from the with the bank and tracing numbers that company funds would need to find the money. That was Thursday, couldn't get ahold of Ronnie on Friday. We put a stop payment on any further attempts to take money from our account until they find the money they already took. Looks like, however, they won't be getting any more. I'm just glad we didn't give them all the money they wanted up front.
They are a scam, I know because I used to work there. I thought it seems legit at first, but right before they laid me off I watched one of their sales tradings - and it's clear they're screwing people. If it helps, the person who owns the company is Mark Eting (hope I spelled it right) and the manager of the admin dept. is Glynn Zell. They're the ones you need to go after.
